Editor's note: Orson Scott Card is a Democrat and a newspaper columnist, and in this opinion piece he takes on both while lamenting the current state of journalism.

Great article! A rare moment of unvarnished truth. Thanks for the link.

BTW - Orson Scott Card is also a respected novelist. I highly recommend Ender's Game.

Yep. I have read most of his novel's already (and there are a ton!) I generally don't agree with his politics but at least he is willing to call them like he sees them regardless of party.

Here's a good one from him on the Constitution: http://www.ornery.org/essays/warwatch/2008-10-12-1.html

He voted for Obama in the primary but plans on voting McCain in the general due to supreme court appointment fears.

He also appears to be pro-war: http://www.ornery.org/essays/warwatch/2008-09-07-1.html

A pro war democrat. Mormons do tend to be pro-Israel-no-matter-what. And I say that speaking from the inside.

It's nice to see him putting the heat on the media, but he's also missing that Congress didn't act alone.. and it wasn't just the Dems in Congress who were cheering this catastrophe on.
