Fun:Right wing bastards



A breed of people that became much more apparent in the 1980s when their deeds were celebrated. Their lineage can be traced back to biblical kings, and to medieval monarchs and nobles who did whatever they wanted without regard for the feelings of the majority. The mantra of the classic RWB is "Fuck you Jack, I'm alright".

 * Henry M Morris - infamous founder of the modern day batshit insane Young Earth Creationist movement, wanted to take science back to the good old days of the Middle Ages, when such pesky things as freedom of religion didn't exist, also dead. Bastard.

National leaders

 * Constantine the Great, the Roman Emperor who legalised Christianity, oversaw the creation of the Nicene Creed, and then had his wife and son executed.

Mixed breeds
There are also people of an apparent dual nature who display complex behaviour, sometimes displaying all the attributes of a RWB but having charitable facets. It might be thought that this is intended to create a good public image and thereby deflect criticism thus increasing profitability, but this is obviously not true. Is it... ?
