The domination of the MSM by WH propaganda, and a public that gets little else if they are not connected to the INTERNET or know how to use a computer contributes a great deal to this problem.
Some folks do hear conflicting opinions and choose not to believe it, you're right. But if you listen to the other sides arguments, unless you know the truth, they sound compelling. It is only because you know the truth that they sound ridiculous.
The other aspect is a much deeper aspect. The basic issue of trust and good faith. In order for you to accept the scope and magnitude of corruption you have to accept:
The President deliberately lies to Congress and the people all the time for any reason that is convenient for him
Those in power don't care about the greater good of humanity, and they sure don't care whether or not you have health care or die or are maimed as a result of one of their manufactured wars.
Those in power worship the almighty dollar not God Almighty
I know these things to be true. But it is an exceptionally difficult thing for some people to accept. How many people do you know that have kids that are drinking, doing drugs or are sexually active and the parents "don't have a clue"? I know lots of them and it isn't because the truth is not there or the signs or even people directly telling them, it is that they don't want to believe it because that means they have to deal with it.
There are some who will not allow themselves to believe the truth because they simply can not handle it.
It literally is beyond their coping skills to accept that everything they have believed in up to this point, and for some that includes their pastor, neighbors, friends, parents and grandparents is wrong. It is all based on lies and is a house of cards.
I don't have that situation. I am from a very liberal background and my family are all liberals so I easily accept the truth. But that is not true for everyone.
I hope this has explains at least in part why some don't "get it". I'm not excusing them, but merely trying to shed some light. I don't think that the public is stupid. And I don't think that 51% voted for Bush either , but that's another topic.
We just have to keep plugging away and not let the propaganda media convince us that the majority of the people in this country don't get it. The Presidents approval rating wouldn't be tanking if the masses weren't "getting it". We are in the majority my friend and we are gaining on them! Take heart and do not give up!
