Since 9/11 he wrote many political essays. He is a conservative democrat of Zell Miller type (there are still few left) who is upset with hijacking of his party by the Left. His articles are more inline with the FreeRepublic spirit than with his own political website: http://www.ornery.org/index.html that is heavily populated by American- and other Leftists who are delightfully annoyed by Mr. Card's conservatism. He does not post on that site and its moderated by somebody else.
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 literary, non-political website: http://www.hatrack.com
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/

There is one mistake in the article. China has said it doesn't want bi-lateral talks between the US and North Korea. It supports the view expressed by President Bush. Not surprisingly, there were few reports on this the day after the first debate when China's spokesmen said this. It's much like the statements by France and Germany that they're not sending troops to Iraq if Kerry wins. The media barely mentions this so Kerry isn't shown to be a fraud.
Thank you very much for the ping. An impressive article.
Quick, name the only middle eastern country besides Iraq to have attacked and killed American military personnel during battle in the past 200 years.
Hint, its name is in italics above.

Not a challenge, just pure curiosity....when and where did that happen?
Thank you Tolik, as always, for the ping.
Very long, but very worthy reading *ping*
Tolik, thank you for the ping.
Yeah. That part was so profoundly stupid, yet said with such conviction and vigor.
What exactly is your issue with Israel?
Excellent post. Add me to your ping list.
1967, USS Liberty, in Internaitonal Waters in the Mediterranean, during the Six-Day War.
The USS Liberty. {I do not take the position that the IDF attacked the Liberty intentionally. Some do.}
Great tagline.

Bump for later.
