rational ignorance

Choosing to remain uninformed because the marginal cost of obtaining the information is higher than the marginal benefit of knowing it.

Commonly practiced by hicks that don't wish to change their point of views about ANYTHING.

"All dem blackies wanna do is steal turnips outta mah garden!"

"Those Muslims and Hin-don'ts are the devil!"

"Men are pigs!"

Ignoradical

Splice of ignorant and radical used for someone foolishly biased, in a political or otherwise debatable situation. Anyone who heatedly picks a side to argue without considering anything about the views of that side, only the fact that they want to argue it to the end.

Person B:"Dude I don't fall for that ignoradical bullshit. I pick whoever has the best policies."

Person A:(Very heated) "People have the right to know whats going on in celebrities lives!"
Person B:"Oh yeah?! Do you always listen to everything the media tells you? Would you like it if people pried into your daily life?! God you're such an ignoradical!"

Ignorance

ignorant

Lacking in knowledge, awareness, empathy, and wisdom. Can apply to anyone, regardless of political affiliation. Contrary to popular belief, it is a very broad state of mind, not largely dependent on one's specific views on a subject. Despite this larger meaning, this word is usually hurled towards others by people who are also ignorant who happen to be upset by something someone said.

Most democrats and most republicans are ignorant. In fact, most people are as a whole! Blargh.
