Orson Scott Card is my favorite kind of ultra conservative - he has his beliefs, voices them, believes in them and stands by them. He thinks his beliefs should be more common.

He also doesn't think they should be forced on people, he doesn't work them into everything he does, and he has a good amount of respect for people with radically different ideas.

He's actually a pretty good example of somebody I can respect and disagree with.

I interviewed him a couple times when I did my science fiction radio show... I asked him about Alvin Maker, the Seventh Son (with all the pagan imagery) and how it reconciled with his Mormon beliefs. He was very well spoken. Neat guy.
