Orson Scott Card accuses Obama of preparing to set up a dictatorship
Holy crap this article. Now, he pretends to couch it as “Just a thought experiment,” but then goes on to compare Obama to both Neville Chamberlain and Augustus Cesear (!)
Oh and then later in the article talks about how Obama will use “young urban men” to form his police state army
“But it sure sounds plausible, doesn’t it? Because, like a good fiction writer, I made sure this scenario fit the facts we already have – the way Obama already acts, the way his supporters act, and the way dictators have come to power in republics in the past.
Just keep your head down, and you’ll be OK. Unless your children repeat at school things you said in the privacy of your home. Unless an Obama crony wants your house or your job. Unless you tell the wrong joke to the wrong people. Unless you have already written or said dangerous things that will come back to get you shot trying to avoid arrest …
Just kidding. Because if I really believed this stuff, would I actually write this essay?”
Yeah. I don’t believe you think this entirely made up. Seen to much other stuff from Card’s mind of late. And that’s not even going into his anti-homosexual stuff.
Look, Ender’s Game is a brilliant book and one of my favorites. I’ll see the movie. But I’m pretty sure the author has long since jumped off the deep end.
