The following article from "America blog" a left wing bomb
throwing blog makes things up.

If you actually read Orson Scott Card's words on the Mormon Times website,
you will come away with a very different impression that what John Aravisos
tries to make in his screed.

 RS> whatever means necessary," and criminalization of homosexuality

Anything that starts off with comments such as "homophobe hotel"
is indeed a bomb-throwing screed.

No need in quoting the entire screed again.

Sorry to disappoint you, Sauer, but your crystal ball is broken.
