That's implying that they give a fart in a high wind about what he has to say. Back when W.A. Criswell, the pastor of Lakeland Baptist Church and the acknowledged founder of modern Protestant fundamentalism, pretty much ran Dallas, everyone in city government quaked in fear of how many fellow Southern Baptists would drop everything and boycott, protest, or burn at his order. It wasn't until the late Eighties that anyone decided to call him on it, and they promptly discovered that a goodly portion of Southern Baptists, in Dallas or elsewhere, would sooner get a hot Clorox enema than do anything he suggested. It doesn't matter if his or Card's fanatic followers care: they might be reading it, but they probably won't remember the essay ten minutes later. This is intended to get the rest of us angry, and subsequently jump up click rates.

There's a lot less dissent in the LDS than in other American Christian branches. Card's little missives like this one get a lot of attention from Mormons, who tend to be extremely conservative, fiscally and socially, across the board.
