49. Individuals who refuse to hear others' opinions - not only in politics - are delusional
they live in their own world and when the truth hits them in the face they collapse.

These are the same people who think that their drug using kids are angelic and their cheating spouses are loyal and, yes, their member of Congress is honest.
