That contradiction is totally baffling. But perhaps there is a simple explanation for people who think tht way.
It might just be a simple lack of imagination. They adoppt a political/ideological/partisan position, and then believe they have to go along with whatever the leaders of that movement say and do.
They don't want to think for themselves, or can't think for themselves. Thus if the right wing rails against "big government" at the same time they are building a huge government with Big Brother power, that's okay because their "leaders" say so.
So to them, it seems totally consistent to hold two opposite opinions at the same time. Just so long as Bush and their fundy prechers say "Black is white and white is black" it's okay to them. Easier to accept that than to actually try to exercise that organ called the logical brain or the imagination.
