Authoritarian Perspective

This connection is drawn perfectly to the "Blood in the Face" video where people spoke of their distaste for anyone exhibiting views different than theirs.
             Fitting with the ethnocentric values, the views of homosexuals are very hostile in "Blood in the Face". On numerous occasions in the video Neo-Nazis expressed their intolerance to the homosexual lifestyle. The group of extremists refers to the bible's condemnation as justification of the wrongfulness of this lifestyle. Altemeyer mirrors the words of the extremists within his Right Wing Authoritarian theory stating, that Right Wing Authoritarians have certain prejudice against homosexuals using "biblical authority" to back up their reasoning. This, Altemeyer says, is drawn from his theory that Right Wing Authoritarians having a strong agreement with any ideology and law "higher" than themselves.
             Altemeyer goes on to make reference of the strong traditionalism and national heritage that Right Wing Authoritarians embrace. Rooted by their above-mentioned "super patriotic" stance, Right Wing Authoritarians endorse a host of social norms and customs. This is apparent in "Blood in the Face" when people make mention several of their perceived "traditional" customs and "things that made this nation great". Examples of this were Christianity, American's founding fathers, freedom of speech, and the flag. Underlying those items during the video were proper dress, appropriate sex roles, following the social norm, believing in "God's law" that were not outright said in the video, but were definitely submerged within the rhetoric of the people that place such value on norms.
             A study done at the University of Manitoba by Altemeyer proved how high of a priority it was for Right Wing Authoritarians to be within the norm. Altemeyer gave students two tests. The first was a regular opinion test in which the students wrote down their opinions to certain topics.
