44. Most reflexively military: one of my great-uncles

He was career military, and he thought that Walter Cronkite and Eric Sevareid were Communist moles because they opposed the Vietnam War. He also agreed with Patton that the U.S. should have conquered the Soviet Union as long as they were already in Europe.

Most outspokenly racist: a guy I dated briefly in high school. He once said (and this is a direct quote), "Show me a Negro who's so black that he's purple, and I'll show you a creature who can't count to 15." As I said, I dated him briefly. Like, until he made that statement.
