He has a message that resonates with me at least.

People are starving for MEANING in their lives.

The Left has a tendency to only talk about Economic issues... how if workers all stuck together we'd win..

But the Right uses wedge politics and the reason they can succeed is becasue issues like Family & Values ARE IMPORTANT to people.

Sure, the GOP is using empty rhetoric... but they're the onlyones addressing these issues.

So I'd like to see the Left talk about the importance of Family, Community and the Common Good.

About channeling our Individual Energy towards accomplishing our goals rather than squandering it doing drugs, casual sex and consuming violent media.

I'd like the Left to talk about the anti-social slant that inherent in allowing corporations to run unregulated.

And so on.
