Long post but worth it over at Monster Hunter Nation. Particularly if you're a long time Science Fiction Fan that has found that it seems like only the stuff from Baen is readable the past 10 or so years.
Here's a hint: Larry Corriea, Michael Z Williamson and Tom Kratman all roll in on this one.
I almost feel sorry for the poor sods on the left. Almost.

Leftist "authors" vs Monster Hunter International
...even before I read MHI, my response to seeing a poster for the stars of the latest Twilight movies was "I see 2 targets and a collaborator".

? There are Commie Sci-Fi writers? I thought that basic premise pretty much precluded such soft-headedness...

POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON
A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad

Plus you may have noticed that the scifi half of the scifi/fantasy genre has been pretty subsumed recently by the fantasy half; I would point to liberalisation as part of the reason for that. Partly because the liberal worldview exists easier in fantasy worlds and partly because overly political scifi doesn't sell very well.Jericho941 wrote:Never heard of Star Trek?Aglifter wrote:?

Randy, after reading the linked post I:
a) want the last ten minutes of my life back and
b) am confirmed in my view that FB is pointless - it's like the flame wars of usenet all over again, in glorious technicolor.

OK - I never read much fantasy... Or all that much Sci-Fi, I suppose...
