Conservative bloggers and opinion writers are often Science Fiction enthusiasts. Instapundit Glenn Reynolds is well-known for this view, and has invited active Sci. Fi. author Sarah Hoyt to regularly guest blog on his site.
Tonight I'm reading something written by Ben Domenech who edits The Federalist and what pops up, a reference to Heinlein's Starship Troopers. I'm not in their league but have read hard science fiction all my adult life, and fold the occasional reference to Dune, Star Wars, Blade Runner or Fifth Element into my own blogging.
I wonder what it is about science fiction that goes with conservative views? At first blush, the pairing would seem counterintuitive.
