Orson Scott Card Quote: How Truth Speaks to Power

Orson Scott Card writes excellent science fiction and fantasy. His book, Ender's Game is an all-time classic.

I found this gem in Orson Scott Card's latest book Pathfinder:

A regime that wraps itself in the flag of truth fears truth most of all, for if its story is falsified in the slightest degree, its authority is gone.

We're seeing the agenda of the institutional left unravel when held up against the great and timeless principles of the Constitution. We, as a people, are starting to emerge from the deep sleep of decades of spoon-fed socialism from our schools and from our government, telling us that government programs are necessary, that we must maintain entitlements, that any other path is "mean-spirited," "racist," or full of "hate." We're finding that such leftist ideals as political correctness and the blame game are attempts to silence those who would speak out for what is good and true.

The resurgence of ideals to conserve the US Constitution, the rule of law, the principle of limited government, and real civil liberties speaks truth to the shrouds of socialism that have seduced and blinded us for so long. And with the truth of the founding principles, the authority of socialist ideals is gone.
