Napoleon Bonaparte

Between early 19th century counterparts of today's pushers of the Prosperity Gospel (which ignores every word about "blessed are the meek, easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get to heaven," etc) and the Dominionist theocrats who seek to eliminate Freedom of Religion, Napoleon had a point - and still does, now more than ever.

BTW, my favorite Napoleon quote is, "Never interrupt an enemy when he's making a mistake."
