I swear, this messiah complex is SO interesting.
In the fevered state of our country, no good can ever result from any attempt to set one of these fiery zealots to rights, either in fact or principle. They are determined as to the facts they will believe, and the opinions on which they will act. Get by them, therefore, as you would by an angry bull; it is not for a man of sense to dispute the road with such an animal.
Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) Third president of the United States.
A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.
Winston Churchill (1874-1965) British politician.
