the guy is just a hairs breadth from being a militia nut- he is a militant mormon

Really? Care to clarify. I've been reading Card for a few years, both his fiction and editorials. If you can't distinguish between the two, then you might need to rethink your review of the man. Aside from the war issue the man is quite moderate. He can't stand the right wing fanatics like Rush or the left wing fanatics like Moore.. Read the article again, he does not see Bush as the next Lincoln, but does believe Kerry will be a disaster for the most important issue in his eyes.

How exactly is he militant? Please explain. I'll grant you he is mormon, so am I, big deal. I have never seen anything he wrote that endorsed or even hinted at militia-ism. It seems that your dissapointment of Card's writing has turned you into the anti-Card. What's up with that? Got some issues of your own to deal with?
