“Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalize, ignore and even deny anything that doesn't fit in with the core belief.”             ― Frantz Fanon

I also fall under this myself but not to the extent as what I read from your comments!

No person who calls themselves a StampOutIgnorance can honestly support Clinton. She in no way, shape, or form, adheres to any Intelligence doctrine. But I digress...

"Those that despise people will never get the best out of others and themselves." 
Alexis de Tocqueville

I use that quote for both sides!
