Our tendency to drop jaw when the other side promotes breathtaking and obvious lies is not serving us well.

True enough.

You'd think we would be used to it by now.

What I'll never get used to is the way unthinking leftists eat that stuff up. As Whittaker Chambers said once, "The false was cast in the image of the world's desire." These guys aren't living in the real world, and they seem to think that their mere say-so is enough to substitute their fantasy for reality. They've been fat, happy, and careless for a sight longer than is good for 'em.

9/11 was the wedge which cracked open the shell for many, but the greater number are no less proof against reality than they have always been against rationality. And even though I know it's coming, my jaw still drops when I see it. Wonder if civilization itself could survive the scale of calamity that it would finally take to sweep away such hard-shell obstinacy.
