Nice to see the forces of good fight back for a change. Now if only someone would fight National Geographic’s left wing capture...
the hard left is fearful of science fiction and fantasy fiction books from conservatives because of its ability to break through the layers of indoctrination that the left has heaped on society. Most authors put there values in to what they write and love to expose ideas that are not will thought out or are strait out lies portrayed as truths. there has always been a battle of ideas between the CS Lewis’s and the Madlin le’ Engle’s of the world and that of the hard left.
This is a very interesting story, and I’m glad to see someone fighting back. If this could happen to Ray Bradbury...
Good to see Jim Butcher on someone’s list besides Goodreads :)
I all but stopped reading any science fiction when I became a scientist. To me, a science fiction story should incorporate real physical principles. A story that depends on pure fantasy disguised in a sciency-looking wrapper is neither science fiction nor fantasy.
I do read fantasy; it is more honest because no one is trying to pass off the physically impossible as being futuristic.
I also can’t stand the political correctness permeating so many stories. Sometimes, the story is good enough that it can transcend the author’s politically correct moralizing, but usually, it becomes unreadable. There are many good authors out there who do not try to moralize, but just tell a story. This isn’t to say that morals are not incorporated in their stories, but that their stories are not vehicles for trying to ram far-leftist ideals down our throats.
Terry Goodkind, Orson Scott Card, Terry Brooks are just a few living authors who tell good stories. Of course, we cannot forget the past masters—Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clark, JRR Tolkein...

I quit reading sci-fi years ago when the genre ran out of spaceships and blasters and was reduced to dragons and magic. It’s been 10-15 years since I bought anything off the sci-fi shelf.
Sad, really.
Heinlein, Asimov, Clark........They can’t be replaced by PC wusses........
I thought that surely The Spec would have a proofreader.
The left literally ruins everything it touches. They aren’t progressive. They’re regressive.
No surprise on this side that sci fi has become an instrument of hate for the left as they try to brainwash childlike adults who see their obvious lies and deceits. And their heros are hateful bigots.
As far as sci-fi goes, there’s “2001,” and there’s everything else.
Rather than working with liberals to ‘be fair’ we need to set up our own publishing houses.
Think of it as ‘FOXNews’ publishing...it can be done.

everyone on the thread should read this:
I refused to pay to see Avatar. I didn’t need some Canadian doooosh to criticize American military as being criminal usurpers of sovereign nations that just wanted to be left alone
I waited years till I realized my public library had the blue ray in stock. Watching it proved my original thoughts on the movie were correct. It is just a PC hit piece on America
Ghosts? Fiction.
Sharknado? Fiction.
Vampires? Fiction.
Werewolves? Fiction.
Where's all the Sci?
I haven't watched that channel in ages. Nothing but garbage. Although, I see that Stargate Continuum is on today. I guess they're still throwing the occasional bone to us diehards.
