And he admits it!

Orson Scott Card on the Democrats, the media and the election that is what? a year away.

Since Bush is quite plainly not the devil, one wonders why anyone in the Democratic Party thinks this ploy will play with the general public.

There are Democrats, like me, who think it will not play and should not play, and who are waiting in the wings until after the coming electoral debacle in order to try to remake the party into something more resembling America.

But then I watch the steady campaign of the national news media to try to win this for the Democrats, and I wonder. Could this insane, self-destructive, extremist-dominated party actually win the presidency?

But wait there’s more…

Am I saying that critics of the war aren?t patriotic?

Not at all ? I?m a critic of some aspects of the war. What I?m saying is that those who try to paint the bleakest, most anti-American, and most anti-Bush picture of the war, whose purpose is not criticism but deception in order to gain temporary political advantage, those people are indeed not patriotic. They have placed their own or their party?s political gain ahead of the national struggle to destroy the power base of the terrorists who attacked Americans abroad and on American soil.

You should probably just go read the whole thing.
