Yep, that's pretty much what politicians do as well. Few even want to question their surface level beliefs let alone their deeply held beliefs (if they have even considered them). I think this is something "The Righteous Mind" points out. Much of this is in-born. At least it appears to be based on the research presented in that book. If you lean toward libertarian ideas you are in the minority and are far more likely to question everything. Especially deep topics. Conservatives are not. Progressives are curious but not to the level libertarians are.
