I think Jibaholis is right - the message of personal responsibility should be front and center. So should driving home the fact that you can succeed better with persistence and hard work than getting hand outs.

I remember the Asians guarding their businesses on the roofs with rifles during the Rodney King riots. The look on their faces said “This is mine, I worked hard for this. You try to take it, you get shot.”

But, this has to be done soon. The young, second or third generation Asians are being exposed to MTV, the MSM, American Idol, etc. and damage is already being done.

Right. The weakness with the Republicans at this point is that we do not have an effective message. We need to create one and be able to make it “hip” at the same time still retain our core principles.

You know, I don't worry about this as much as others. I grew up in a secular family on these things. It was possible to see Madonna's sexuality as glamorous and empowering. But in the era of Tila Tequila and Nelly's Tip Drill, all it does is drive home the fact that depravity is not an antiquated concept.
