I’m not familiar with him or his work. But hearing this makes me want to go see the movie.

I never really went to Chick Fill A regularly before the liberals declared war on them, but am going more often since the liberals urged boycotting them.

Ender’s Game is one of the best novels I have ever read. It is really fantastic.

Never use a modifier in front of the word “marriage”.
When you do, you’ve lost the language war.

I predict that “Enders Game” will be a blockbuster...and maybe then follywood will realize that WE won’t pay to see their leftist garbage and that’s why THEY keep bombing at the box office.

So much for the vaunted tolerance of the left. They are only tolerant if you agree with them and their perversions.

The entertainment business is absurd. They expect everyone to be liberal.

The jokes told by Letterman and other late night comics assume that we are liberal, based on who or what the butt of the joke is.

The gay character on a TV show is obligatory nowadays.

Lady Gag sings we’re the home of the gay, waving the homosexual rainbow flag, and that you are born that way, meaning born homosexual.

Madonna tells a concert audience they better F**&n vote for Obama.

All this is okay and expected, but Sarah Palin incited controversy when she went to Chick Fill A.

There can be no deviation from the liberal orthodoxy can there???

Just don’t do business with them. That’s my new rule. If you endorse gay marriage, I do my best to make sure I don’t do business with you.

He's being attacked from all segments of the entertainment industry. From Wikipedia:

Card's views became the subject of controversy[39] when he was selected as one of several recurring guest authors for DC Comics's new Adventures of Superman series. The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender activist website AllOut.org began an online petition asking DC Comics to drop Card from the project. DC Comics responded that it supported freedom of expression and that the personal views of individuals associated with the company were not the views of the company.[40]

In March 2013, Chris Sprouse, a DC Comics illustrator, left the project due to the media attention, delaying the comic's release.[41] Some comic book stores announced that they would boycott the comics, though others will still order them on request.[42][43] The same month, Wired.com reported that Card's Superman story was now "on hold" and would not be included in either the scheduled print or digital issues and will be replaced by another story written by Jeff Parker.[44] The controversy has also sparked debate as to how much Card would be allowed to take part in promotion for the movie adaptation of Ender's Game, due in late 2013, with one studio executive expressing the opinion that Card's involvement could be a liability for the film.[45] Following this, it was announced that Card would not be taking part in the Ender's Game film panel at San Diego Comic Con in July 2013 with the other principal cast and crewmembers of the film.[46]

On July 8, 2013, Card wrote in a piece for Entertainment Weekly that the gay marriage issue is now "moot" due to the Supreme Court decision on DOMA, and that eventually, gay marriage would be legal in all fifty states.[47][48] He remains on the board of directors of the National Organization for Marriage.

I still remembered when the fag marriage storm a year ago with Chick Fil A, and on a dull Sunday, i managed to pass by the Hollywood location and 2 fags had signs protesting.

Another car passed by and yelled “you know they’re closed on Sundays right?”

LOL. I guess the protesters didn’t know Chick Fil A closes on Sundays. In a secular world, it’s beyond the frame of reference for liberals that a business would close on a Sunday.

What does any one expect? Scott is Mormon and there are Mormon themes in many of his books.

I’m hoping that the Hollywood blacklist gets so long that no one will be able to be employed. Then the industry can crash and burn and I’ll just sit here tuned to Turner Classics.

Nope. They will use the profits to make more pro homo movies.

I love the Book and Card deserves all the money he makes on it. However, all movies we pay to see coming out of Liberalwood are only funding our own demise.

People hear that and find excuses to do it anyway. But it’s the truth.

Commies are tolerant of everything except people who disagree with their world view.

Pray for America to Wake Up
