Obama Is A ‘Dictator’ Militarizing ‘Young Thugs’ Into His Own ‘National Police’

[Snarkoleptic]

(alternate thread title "Why I'm Boycotting the film Ender's Game."

This according to the gay-bashing, boycott-baiting author Orson Scott Card, who seems to delight in undermining the success of the upcoming film adaptation of his book "Ender's Game".

This film stars Harrison Ford and Ben Kingsley, among others.

“Obama is, by character and preference, a dictator,” Card cries, claiming he treats the Constitution “with contempt,” and “already acts as if the Constitution were just for show.”

Card believes that Michelle Obama will be the next president, and Obama will install her by force. Slate’s Dave Weigel put the pieces of Card’s delusions — which he calls “a fun theory” — into place.

1. He suffers from a severe case of ODS, in his case probably a terminal condition.

3. Yeah, there's a lot of that going around.

I've enjoyed books written by Dean Koontz, but was shocked to read an interview where he outed himself as a pug who'd donated money to Michele Bachmann.
My lefty worldview apparently is incompatible with the idea of creative types being conservatives.

7. I've known Koontz was a flaming RWer since forever. The first

clue, if you read his books, is his fawning adoration for all things Orange County, and depicting it as a nearly holy place. And then all things Los Angeles are basically the literal work of the devil.

He's the RW's answer to Stephen King, except he isn't 1/10th the writer.

9. I knew that a long time ago.. anyone who thinks michelle bachmann needs

money has a major screw loose.

I never got into his books.

Stephen King is my twilight zone guy to go to.

2. Oh, if only he were right and we could have Michelle Obama for the next president....

Hey, just because the man's nuttier than a fruit cake doesn't mean he hasn't got a good idea or two. Even a broken clock is right twice

Nice fantasy bro ...just I know it's never going to be real,,,,,,

5. I have never been a fan and never will be.

6. He was so normal when he wrote Ender's Game

It was a great book, as was his follow-up Speaker for the Dead. Ender's Game (IIRC, I read it as a teen) reads like a book written by an insightful person who was accepting of other cultures, borderline anti-war.

Then his books got really weird and unfocused, and finally downright political. Fans watched their favorite characters fall apart reciting LDS doctrine and other nonsense.

8. Card is a True Believing Mormon(TM). What did you expect?
