            Combined ping to 2 ping lists


Nailed It!
 

Moral Clarity BUMP !

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.  

 

Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card - PING  [please freepmail me if you want or don't want to be pinged to Orson Scott Card political articles]

Links: his articles discussed at FR: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/k-orsonscottcard/browse  and archived here (it is a must go place for all new to OSC political writing): http://www.ornery.org/essays/warwatch/index.html

His fresh articles appear in the Rhinoceros Times, Greensboro, NC: http://www.rhinotimes.com/greensboro/  (before being posted permanently on his The Ornery American website). Read his books/movies/and everything reviews: http://www.hatrack.com/osc/reviews/everything/

I’m glad at least one science fiction writer hasn’t been swept away by Star Trek Next Generation PC nonsense.

I love OSC!

...but he must use his editor a lot, to create such mundane things such as paragraphs.

Why the h-e-double-hockey-sticks isn’t Orson Scott Card the White House Director of Communications?

Let's just hope that the American people have sense enough, in the middle of a war, not to elect Tokyo Rose as commander-in-chief.

Beautiful! Too bad it's too long for a tagline!

You know I loved his books when I was a kid, then I got older and found out he was a democrat...

After 9/11 Orson Scott Card has redeemed himself over and over again.

Ender’s Game is still one of my favorite books of all time.

Thanks for posting this, it is an antidote to the intellectual poison being foisted upon our citizens by the America-hating left, and its enablers in the media.

I too, was a lefty once, and I can attest to the fact that America hating is a requirement for entry into the leftist cabal. You must first renounce capitalism, then the rest of what America stands for becomes fair game.

What's interesting to me is that today's leftists have no fear about revealing their true feelings, they have no compunction about un-cloaking their true agenda for America either. This phenomenon represents a sea-change, as when I was a member of the club, we all felt that we needed to obscure, at all costs, what we truly believed.

The candidacy of Bill Clinton was the culmination of what we had dreamt of for years, the placing of one of our own in the White House. As history will show, the implantation of a leftist in the office of the Presidency was a ruse, the American people were duped into believing the Clintons were something they definitely were not. Because THEY knew who the Clintons really were, they assume we did too.

In the present day, no one on the left seems to be concerned about revealing who they really are, I find this disconcerting but encouraging at the same time. As Card points out, they think they are so smart that they can get away with it, and it is my view, and apparently that of Card's, that they have over-estimated themselves.
