This weekend (Superbowl Sunday)will be a weekend to release my studies (college) and do what I like to do (you know ;-). Anyone looking for some clean, safe, adult fun, hit me? I have no doubt in my mind; I will make a female cum (more than once) this weekend. Certified BBC

I understand this is a swinger website, and this is certainly off topic, but we see a lot of political discussions, so we hope you don’t mind helping answer a question that has been vexing us for quite a while.

Why do (some/many, not all) conservatives believe some crazy things (e.g., Obama is a terrorist, Marxist, socialist, fascist, Maoist, racist, Muslim, Kenyan, anti-capitalist, alien, liar, the anti-Christ, a cactus, anti-business, an idiot, anti-work, anti-border control, anti-defense, anti-rich, anti-American, etc.) with absolutely no evidence other than Rush or O'Reilly or a blogger (Drudge et al) or a chain email said they know someone who knows someone who knows someone that… (e.g., saw Barack in a Mosque or beheading babies)...?

Why, if presented with a mountain of independent, verifiable data to support a position contrary to their dogma, they are completely unswayed and respond with “that is not true” or “I don’t believe that” or my favorite “you actually believe scientists (when discussing science) or doctors (when discussing medicine) or economists (when discussing the economy or fiscal/monetary policy) or accountants (when discussing taxes) or Muslims (when discussing Islam)?  Why do they think no group of experts can be trusted or believed, yet believe everything they favorite personality says? And why, as more facts provided, the less likely the person will consider even rethinking their beliefs, or be open to the possibility that Rush or Beck or a blogger could have given them inaccurate or incomplete information.  

So our question is why do many conservatives so readily accept seemingly obvious fabrications (or completely impossibilities - e.g., one cannot (simultaneously) be fascist, communist, Marxist and socialist) because it comes from a source they “trust” or is on their “side”, despite how unreliable the source may have been in the past or how poor their track record?  They seemingly believe anything and everything spoken/written by enough fellow conservatives, regardless if there are any facts or independent information provided to support their position, but reject all information, data and facts if the source is a perceived to be a liberal?

Why does the source matter more than facts to many/most conservatives? 

Also why do they attack the source of the correct information with scurrilous character attacks or baseless assaults on someone’s acumen and/or name calling rather than focus on an intelligent discussion of the facts provided, conclusions drawn or a respectful discussion of the question(s)/issue(s) presented? 

Additionally often these people will be for greater role of religion in politics yet fight religious freedom for other faiths (e.g., Islam) mercilessly. 

We don’t believe this curious, unusual behavior can be explained by simple gullibility, greater susceptibility to propaganda, low IQ or other dismissive explanation or other trivialization.  These people (some of whom we met via SDC) are completely open minded to info from all sources when disusing other issues like sports (excluding of course, alleged divine intervention with Tim Tebow lol).

Please don’t respond with liberals are just as guilty, or progressives do the same thing; or sophomoric/unproductive name calling, serious answers only. Thank you!

For the non-US readers, your viewpoint is welcomed as well. Do you have anything similar in your country? Either currently or historical? How was it solved if at all (other than WWII)?
