"Of all kinds of credulity, the most obstinate and wonderful is that of 
political zealots; of men, who being numbered, they know not how or why, 
in any of the parties that divide a state, resign the use of their own 
eyes and ears, and resolve to believe nothing that does not favor those 
whom they profess to follow."   – Johnson, Idler #10 (June 17, 1758)
