Ideologue

An ideologue (AYE-dee-uh-lawg) — from the French — is a zealous supporter of a particular system of beliefs and values.

Example (as used by Dr. Mardy Grothe and quoted by Michael Masterson today): “In Man and Superman (which is [George Bernard] Shaw’s re-telling of the Don Juan story) the hero of the play is John Tanner, a witty ideologue who in Shaw’s fictional world is the author of ‘The Revolutionist’s Handbook.’”
