This blog's mission is to improve Cultural Health, by raising Cultural Literacy and reducing Cultural Poisoning.
With respect to Cultural Literacy, I am focused on Classical African Civilization. With respect to Cultural Poisoning, I will help you understand how to Detect it, Correct it, and most importantly, how to prevent little children from catching it.

Enslaved Africans come back from the grave to haunt the McCain cultural anti-humanest family members. They say that McCain could not look at Obama in the eye during thee first presidential debate. Their may have been psychological reasons beyond what meets the eye. The hart often knows things that the mind does not.
In the 1st Presidential debate, McCain made the mistake of bringing up his escalation ("surge") of the Bush/McCain war, one time to many. Obama hauled back and knocked him out cold. (Video) 0:47 sec His hands moved so fast you could have missed it.

9/26/08 Pres. Debate: Obama Calls Out John McCain for Being WRONG on Iraq
Debate moderator Jim Lehrer, who did an excellent job, was tying to get the candidates to talk directly to each other, with limited success. This time when McCain lead with his "surging" right, Obama stood squarely, looked McCain dead in the eye, and blocked his punch with a 2007 to 2003 move to the left. Then with the precision of a surgeon, obama delivered two hard right "You Were Wrongs" and a final left "You Were Wrong" uppercut that sent McCain to the canvas for the count.
I tell ya, I was ring side and it was a thing of beauty. Obama floating like a butter fly and stinging like a bee. The kind of thing you tell your children about.
This is the last in a three part series of articles on how to pick a President. I have been amazed at the number of Americans that I have run into that do not know the basics of how to pick a President. This series is for those folks, and those of you, like me, who keep running into people who need a quick “how to” pick a President tune up from the neck up. So, come share what you know and learn what you don't.
2008 is a critical and historic Presidential election year and we need all hands on deck, with sufficient political literacy to make an informed judgment that moves our country forward.
Last Sunday, in How To 101, we added to our Top Three, Party Analysis. Your home work was to use the information provided to construct your bulletized three point analysis of each party as they related to your top three. I want to thank those readers who took the time to walk through the process with me. We had some interesting political position pictures in the end. This week we will expand your Top Three List to A Top Ten Issues list. Your homework will be to create your Top Ten List and tell us if creating the extended list changed your original Top Three List. Did it cause the order to change? Did you decide to replace one of the issues on your original Top Three List?
Lastly, we will talk about the end game, how to use your lists to maximize the value of the presidential debates to your final choice for President of these United States of America. Naturally, the end game would not be complete without you voting, so we spend time on the Vote.
Top Ten Issues 2008 Presidential Election
Political issues by category
Domestic Policy: 1. Universal Sick Care (USC) (Pro-life for grown ups) 2. End the Iraq War in 30 days (Use money at home) 3. Green Moon Shot in 10 years (fix economy and form the future) 4. Protect my retirement including Social Security (quality of life) 5. Net Neutrality & Obama's Google-Gov't (change to open gov't)
Foreign Policy: 6. End Torture and attacking countries to steal resources e.g. oil 7. Ensure we can compete with China in the Global Village 8. Education for National service - World Class education at home 9. Security: Protect the country and my constitutional rights a. Get the folks who enabled the Attack on America and keep the Taliban out of power b. Restore our national friends and make new ones. 10. No military bases or attacks on the African continent - Work with the UN
Key: They include my personal self-interests and what I think is important for the National interests.
As we move into these final four 2008 Election debates you should have already chosen a President based on your Top Three Issues. So what is the value of these debates? This is your last chance to hear from the horse’s mouth and check off your list one last time. Body language and candidate reaction under pressure can tell you things that you cannot get from a list. These soft decision elements will add to the accuracy of your voting judgment.
One final note, you must actually be registered and go to the polls and Vote. This election will be close and we need all hands on deck. Voter suppression has started, I recommend that you follow voter suppression at: Voter Suppression Wiki - Learn, Report, Act
Don’t be tricked out of your well thought out position, stay focused on your self-interests as reflected in your Top Issues. Make a Culturally Healthy choice!

The veterans vote is not locked up by McCain. The truth about McCain's service and his treatment of veterans can not be hidden in this post YouTube Era. (Video)
Vietnam Veterans Against McCain
I am a Vietnam era vet and I would not vote for McCain. This is not the story McCain had presented about his Vietnam service and interaction with veterans at the Republican False Flag Convention.
Give our 700 billion to us, to pay our mortgages, and the financial "crisis" will be over. Bush and the forty thieves have proved that Trickle Down ideology does not work, why, in the name of common sense, would we try it again.
Who is Bush/McCain going to give our 700 billion to? Let’s Go To The Video Tape
My plan is simple, take the 700 Billion and give it to home owners and let it trickle up. If Bush wants to go in my pocket for 700 billion, this will cost me one to two trillion. Why would I believe him or his people, remember Iraq. This is what I would do with the money, cut any past or present foreclosed mortgage in half. Keep the family in the house with affordable payments and fixed interest for 30 years. Return families to houses that have been lost. Mandate that only banks can hold mortgages. End mortgage based derivatives. Tightly regulate the financial industry mandating internet based transparency.
We the people should take over the "Federal" Reserve and print our own money for the purpose of lending it to the financial sector. Any company with a people's reserve loan would agree to a salary freeze and rollbacks where needed. These companies would give no raises or bonuses, or pay any dividends, until the peoples reserve loan is replayed. Government representatives would sit on their board and in the interest of transparencies they would agree to provide full computerized financial reports every 90 days. These reports would be published on the internet in accordance with Obama's Digital Vision. Any violators of the agreement or the public trust go to jail.
The way to put America in sound economic shape is not a short term fix. It is in launching the Obama Green Moon Shot with a ten year drop dead date for our future.b
McCain put up a political AD that is an attack on, and an insult to, all Culturally Healthy Latinos (Video)
Obama Chavez - (English)
The AD does not mention that Bush and the forty thieves actually did conspire to, and actually attack Chavez. and they declared a New Government in Venezuela on American TV, then they had to retract the whole thing. Two things went wrong. The people of the Country went to the streets and put their democratically elected President Chavez back in office, and a European film team just happened to be in Venezuela and recorded the whole Bush/CIA led attack.
Cultural Literacy Minute: Like Ward Connerly and Judge Thomas, their are Cultural traitors exposed from time to time. But it is still strange when you see Cultural Poisoning up close and personal.
Two things struck me about Obama's leadership during this incident. One, he said it was OK for them to stay and hold their signs, but let him speak. Two when escorted out, they did not have to say "...Don't Taze Me Bro...". Naturally, I won't bother comparing this to a Republican rally.
This is the second in a three part series of articles on how to pick a President. I have been amazed at the number of Americans that I have run into that do not know the basics of how to pick a President. This series are for those folks, and those of you, like me, who keep running into people who need a quick “how to” pick a President tune up from the neck up. So, come share what you know and learn what you don't.
2008 is a critical and historic Presidential election year and we need all hands on deck, with sufficient political literacy to make an informed judgment that moves our country forward.
Last Sunday in, How To 101, we talked about the two types of political decision models, inductive and deductive that combine to become your final decision. I showed you how I, subjectively, used these tools to write down my Top Three Political Issues in a concise bullet format that you could use to paint a picture of your political position to someone else in 30 seconds. Your homework was to write down your Top Three. Today we will expand on that start by adding party analysis.
Again let me forewarn you that I am a Democrat and my analysis is subjective. However, this should not affect your analysis. If you are a Republican, Independent or have other party affiliations, I expect you will do your analysis through your subjective filter, this is natural. What is important is that you think this process through and then scale it down to three bullet’s for each party. No magic it really is that simple and that hard. Here is my party analysis.
Naturally, I start by looking at the Eight year History of the Republican Party in control of all three branches of government. My bottom line is have they helped me and the country or have they hurt me, my family, friends and the word’s citizens. I think the questions and answers are clearer this year than in any year that I have voted.
Am I better off today than eight years ago? No!
What has Bush and the forty thieves (Neo-Cons) done for me lately? Answer: Endless War - at a cost of trillions not to mention human cost Housing collapse – Millions of Americans losing their homes Financial collapse – The thieves have stolen the “liquidity” (money) and left us in recession Buyer confidence collapse –Which, industry will fail next
Here is my Top Thee from last week with my political analysis added.
Top Three Issues 2008 Presidential Election
1. Universal Sick Care (USC) (Pro-life for grown ups) 2. End the Iraq War in 30 days (Use money at home) 3. Green Moon Shot in 10 years (fix economy and form the future)
Key: They include my personal self-interests and What I think is important for the National interests.
My understanding of the major party positions as they relate to my Top Three
Democratic Position 1. Committed to USC 2. Committed to end Iraq War in 16 months 3. Headed in the right direction, energy, but no clear compact description that voters can get behind.
Republican Position 1. Against USC - ever 2. Win Iraq war - 100 years 3. Bail out Wall Street, Let Main Street eat cake
What does your Scale of Politics tell you about who is most likely to lead this Nation out of the Bush crisis? This year, you and I should make the Scale of Politics become the Scale of Justice.
One final note, voter suppression has started, Voter suppression is not just physically preventing people from voting or fraudulent mis-counting of the votes. Voter suppression can also be using Cultural Poisoning to activate fear in voters, for the purpose of disrupting their normal issues based analysis of the candidates and parties. For examples: Lets Go To The Video Tape
Don’t be trick out of your well thought out position, stay focused on your self-interests as reflected in your Top Three Issues.
The Republican false flag convention was one big “race” card, so it is not surprising that as McCain’s numbers dip he puts all his cards on the table.
McCain's Message - The two Black guys will gang up to harm the elder White woman. Wow - A monument to the death of McCain's honor.
Notice the strategy to distract the voters from the fact that McCain has been for the Republican deregulation philosophy that created the American financial melt down. Will "race" replace McCain's record, no. Give the Obama antidote, McCain's 26 year voting record.
McCain's re-engineered Hortonism is a little slicker but it is intended to activate the same Cultural Poisoning and fear in European Americans as the 1988 Republican AD below.
If you think Bush/McCain & Palin are extreme cultural anti-humanists look at what their friends will put on the air waves.
Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick / Obama Ad
What should Culturally Healthy Americans do about these AD’s Go to the polls and get all your friends to go to the polls. Cultural Humanist going to the polls voting and making sure their vote counts is the best way stall McCain’s Civil War II.
Image via WikipediaFormer Bush Secretary of StateColin Powell said Monday that he has not yet decided which candidate to back in this year’s presidential race.
The election of an African-American president “would be electrifying,” Powell told a George Washington University audience, “but at the same time [I have to] make a judgment here on which would be best for America.
“I have been watching both individuals, I know them both extremely well, and I have not decided who I am going to vote for. And I'm interested to see what the debates are going to be like because we have to get off of this ‘lipstick on a pig’ stuff and get into issues,” he said.
Aunk: Will Powell admit his poor judgment caused him to get mixed up with a bad crowd, leading to dishonor and international disgrace. Will he now try to stand up once again as a truth speaking citizen of the United States looking to the future?
Image by Getty Images via DaylifeThe issue here is that Muthee isn’t just your typical conservative evangelical whose bigoted ideas could easily be enumerated. The problem for many moderates is Palin’s extremism and her association with and advocation of someone who promotes and defends the idea of taking action against those whose ideas differ. Like, hunting down “fortune tellers” because they’re “demonic.”
Aunk- These religious extremist do not believe religious freedom. They are cultural anti-humanist and active solders in the Cultural War c.1500 B.C.E. Their ideology drives them to attack any spiritual system that utilizes oracles, this would include most African and Asian spiritual systems.

Tyra Banks talks with three African American Children who's mother pours bleach on them to make their skin lighter.
Let's Go To the Video Tape
Image poisoning is a subset of Cultural Poisoning and it is alive and well in America. If you watched the rest of the interview you noted that while, African Americans are aware of this bleaching symptom of Cultural Poisoning existing in our community. Most European Americans have no idea what Image poisoning is, let alone Cultural Poisoning.
As Cultural Soldiers we can learn a lot from the mother's dis-ease. Like most mothers she loves her children but like anyone with a chronic psychological disorder like alcoholism, she has no idea that she is ill. Tyra as a sound cultural citizen did a great job of bringing this issue forward to TV. However, not knowing Cultural Health language limited her ability to help this mother and her children. What is most unfortunate is that the children have been infected with this miligent dis-ease by the mother and will pass it on to their children unless their is a Cultural Health intervention.
Tyra my not know about Cultural Poisoning. If you know Tyra send her this article, the mother and these children can be helped.

McCain implied that the founding fathers of the US were right and just to have enslaved Africans and the Supreme court should return to that type of justice. (Video)
Watch him acknowledge the problem with his statement and retreat when pressed by Ms. Goldberg of the View TV Show.
Whoopi to McCain: Do I have to worry about slavery again?
Note McCain's words, he wants to return to a strict interpretation of the constitution as the founding fathers intended it. At best McCain is Culturally Illiterate or at worst he was suffering from acute Cultural Poisoning.
As a student of the constitution in the Senate for more then 20 years, McCain should know that the founding "fathers" unjustly and criminally declared enslaved Africans in America 3/5th of a human being. Now he also knows that he was in mixed company, i.e. African Americans and European Americans. He should have known that using the language "strict" interpretation of the constitution would be offensive and disconcerting to any African American or other cultural humanist with the most rudimentary understanding of the history of the constitution.
If McCain was not aware of these realities then he demonstrated Cultural illiteracy which, is unacceptable in a President for TeamAmerica and the future. On the other hand, if he new these facts and went forward with this disconcerting language anyway, this would bring up a whole other set of questions regarding McCain's cultural orientation.
What do you think? now,lets look at his other form of illiteracy.
He has admitted he can't use a computer and if you look at his audiences, you will note he demonstrates that he doesn't know how to unite our multi-ethnic country either. Obama pointed this e-mail ad in the right direction. How can a computer illiterate President lead a computer literate young America into the future.
I would have to conclude that any person who could not step toward the future (send and Email)in twenty years is not likely to turn this country toward the future in four years.
Let my close by raising for your consideration the notion that a person burdened with the book ends of Cultural Illiteracy and Computer Illiteracy, has neither the vision or cultural orientation that America needs to move forward.
I knew these things about McCain, I saw all of them, but I had forgotten them. If this was the old days before YouTube they would have stayed forgotten. Let's Go To the Video Tape.
McCain's YouTube Problem Just Became a Nightmare
Being Computer illiterate, McCain thinks this is the old days where you can say anything you want and the dumb public will forget what you said in a couple of months. This my be the first election that a candidate looses because he is computer illiterate.
Just in case you missed Saturday Night Live on NBC, Tina Fey is a dead ringer for Sarah Palin (Full Video). If you have been overdosing on politics lately and need a good laugh this is it.

Palin, as McCain's poor judgment, are made for comedy. The comedians will have a ball with her now to November, when hopefully she becomes just a bad dream.
This is the first in a three part series of articles on how to pick a President. I have been amazed at the number of Americans that I have run into that do not know the basics of how to pick a President. This series are for those folks, and those of you, like me, who keep running into people who need a quick how to pick a President tune up from the neck up. So, come share what you know and learn what you don't.
2008 is a critical and historic Presidential election year and we need all hands on deck, with sufficient political literacy to make an informed judgment that moves our country forward.
There are two forms of logic used to make a decision regarding a person's choice for President. Inductive logic is the most common one. It uses the If - Then model. The other form of logic is deductive logic; it uses the form Statement, Major premise, Minor premise. What is important to note at this point regarding election logic, is that the decision logic most voters use is subjective. Don’t fool yourself into thinking you are being objective. You are voting, you and your families self interest, and that is how it should be.
Inductive Logic is pretty straight forward; here are three example of this subjective process. If you like the person then you vote for them. If you think the person has the same values as you do then you vote for them. If you think a party has the same values or that the party’s values are closest to yours then you vote for that party. This form of decision making can be highly emotional and your cultural orientation will no doubt play a large role in inductive decision making. You should also note that this is the type of decision making that is most easily influenced by Cultural Poisoning.
This is a right brain activity and all of us use this form of decision making. What is important to remember at this point, is that inductive logic is just a starting point in decision making. Deductive logic is necessary to verify that your inductive decision/reasoning is in agreement with reality.
Deductive logic has three steps instead of two. The objective of utilizing deductive logic in a political process is to determine for yourself, is the statement of a given politician is true or false. Of all the people in the world that make statements, I probably trust the statements of Politicians and Lawyers the least. However, their statements like everyone else’s can be tested. This is the form the test takes.
Political Statement - I will implement Universal Health Care
Major Premise - Voting record
Minor Premise - Associations
This is how it works. If the persons voting record and their historic associations are consistent (True) with their statement, then their political statement is most likely true. If either premise is false the statement is less likely to be true. What is important to remember here, is that a candidate’s statement is only important in so far as it directly relates to your personal interests as expressed by your Top Three Issues.
How do you employ this information as a practical matter in your decision making regarding your vote in November. At the most basic level you use the Top Three Issues model. Step one, write down your Top Three Political Issues, (Top three things you want the next president to accomplish and why. here are my Top Tree as an example.
Top Three Issues (Basic)
2008 Presidential Election
1. Universal Sick Care, USC in 4 (Pro-life for grownups)
2. End the Iraq War, in 30 days (Use money at home)
3. Green Moon Shot, in 10 years (fix economy and form the future)
Key: They should include your personal self-interests and what you think is important for the Nation's best interests.
Step two; apply Inductive logic - Which candidate and party do you like? Step Three; apply deductive logic - Which candidate’s statements as the leader of his party most closely matches your Top three?
It step 2 and 3 match up, your decision is made and your reasoning should be very clear to you and anyone you talk to. If they do not match up something is wrong and you need to figure out what, and fix it, so you can make a clear well informed logical decision regarding the Presidency of the United States of America.
Your task, should you decide to accept, is to write down your TOP THREE ISSUES as a comment executing this 123 process for yourself to see what you get.
This was part 1 of 3 of How to elect a President. Next Sunday I will put up part 2 of 3 How to Elect a President 102
You might have noticed the one thing missing in this article was the elephant in the room, the Nation’s Cultural Health. Well the reality is, the 2008 election’s monkey wrench question, is Cultural Health. That is, will Americans vote on the issues, or on “race”, gender and age? What is your answer? The truth is, only you know or think you know and you will probably only tell yourself.
If you have the testicular fortitude, you can test yourself for racism, sexism and ageism by clicking here. You might tell me anything, but you should tell yourself the truth. Your country needs you to be part of the solution not part of the problem.
McCain has struck one of the lowest political blows in history, An Ad that lies about children. Don't take my word for it, Let's Go to the Video Tape.
The stay the course McCain would not know change if he ran over it. He is dishonoring himself, the political campaign and the Nation like Bush did and he is not even in office. I took action in putting this video up, what action against lies will you take.
While you are watching the "real" McCain, don't take your eye off the media. Have you seen the "polls" they indicate many Americans are being tricked again by Bush/McCain. A Good friend, would not let another friend vote for this anti-humanist.
Unless I missed something, McCain let his bad judgment choice out of Pandora's box onto World News with Charles Gibson and palin promptly started World War Three.
I could have sworn I heard Palin say, that in addition to "wining" the Bush/McCain Iraq war, the Governor's first act a President would be to attack Russia over Georgia. Palin really is scary. So now we are not just going to attack defenseless countries, we will pick fights with countries with Nuclear bombs. If this was a demonstration of Palin's battlefield skills, I think she just got us all killed.
Speaking of foreigner policy issues, If I do not know what the Bush Doctrine is that is OK. If I am a hart beat away from the Presidency it is not OK.
Palin's first out of the box interview is demonstrating that, like the picture leading this piece, the Republicans have pulled another terrible Judge Thomas hoax on the American people.
Enough already, how much more bad judgment can the country stand from Bush/McCain.
I have tried to be light about Palin and this would almost be funny if it were not so serious. There are at least seven hundred thousand folks that understand this. I hope most voters get to see Damon's comments.
Let's Go to the Video Tape
Damon Condemns Palin
This goes beyond Cultural Health, we are now talking basic health. We must keep the Bush/McCain Palin folks away from the codes just to stay alive. With life I can do Cultural Health and you can do what you do. No breathing in and out, all bets are off.
The Political Cultural Health Index of the Republican Convention was much lower then the Democratic PCH Index. My friends and I were not fooled by the Republican "Country First, big flag hoax, designed to keep us busy while the issues disappeared.
A little slight of hand can cloud your judgment and take your mind off the real issues.
Did you see that big flag behind the speakers, it changed to smaller flags at times and many flags at other times. As an African America I grew up in the U.S. being suspicious of people and groups that hide behind the flag and crosses. The Ku Klux Klan is a group of anti-humanists that hide behind the Christian Cross and the American flag. It is interesting to note, that most Klan (Anti-Non-European American) types like David Duke are Republicans today. George Bush, and John McCain are famous for the "Republican" lapel pin of the Bush era., but both supported the South Carolina Confederate flag a symbol of fighting for American enslavement. The take home message, history demonstrates that everyone who wears an American flag does not subscribe to culturally healthy American values.
Wikipedia says, False flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments, corporations, or other organizations, which are designed to appear as though they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one's own. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and have been used in peace-time; for example, during Italy's strategy of tension.
You remember the Vietnam War and The Gulf of Tonkin Incident, where the American destroyer Maddox was supposedly attacked twice by three North Vietnamese torpedo boats in 1964 in the Gulf of Tonkin. Documents now reveal that the reality was not as stated. President Johnson knew that the American attack on the Asians was ill conceived, unsustainable and would have to be terminated. Some say that Bush and the forty thieves created a false flag operation by tying the Iraq flag to the 911 attack on the United States.
It is interesting to note that today most of the American people are against the Vietnam War and the Bush/McCain Iraq War. McCain is out of step with the American people in both cases, yet these wars and his role in them were part of the main theme of the convention. look at McCain's judgment, he wanted to stay the course in Vietnam and in Iraq, yet the stay the course guy became the "Change" Guy at the false flag convention. A picture is worth a thousand words, did you look at the crowd? 93% White males vs. 65% White Male delegates at the Democratic convention. What change, no cultural inclusion in the convention crowd or the crowds that turn up for Bush/McCain Palin on the stump, or in the voting booths.
If a party's convention is not inclusive, then there is no prof of concept regarding McCain's assertion that he will run an inclusive unifying government. In fact, the convention demonstrates the opposite Bush/McCain will divide this country more then at any time since the Civil War.
Don't Take my word for it Lets Go To The Video Tape
Sarah Palin | 2008 Republican Convention | 9/03/08 |
Your Cultural Literacy assignment, should you decide to accept, is to look at the crowd shots and count the number of African Americans, Asian Americans and Latino Americans you see in the crowd.
Did you notice the convention slogan "Country First Right or Wrong". I know, they left off the right or wrong, that is the false flag point. Like "Love it or leave it" the slogan was, and is, red meat code for the extreme social conservatives at home and on the convention floor.
Wikipedia also describes in general terms the strategy of tension that I assert the Republicans used at their false flag convention. This is how it works, it is a strategy used to divide, manipulate, and control public opinion using fear, propaganda, disinformation, psychological warfare and agents provocateurs. The tactic is a familiar one often used historically by cultural anti-humanist. The tactic is indispensable for Cultural Poisoning. Like in divide and conquer, the term 'tension' one refers to emotional tension, to what creates a sentiment of fear. By the term 'strategy' one refers to what feeds the fear of the people towards one particular group. This brings me to John McCain's choice for V.P., Governor Palin. No disrespect intended with this pieces cover picture but it does illustrate a point. The overt reason for picking Palin is to capture the Hillary woman's vote. The covert reason is to get the extreme right wing working class social conservative (Code for Anti-Non-Christian European American) male vote.
Palin is the emotional lightning rod to get the Social Conservative, get out the vote, storm troopers boots on the street.
John McCain took Shara Palin out of Pandora's box and sprang her on the unsuspecting American public. After her speech, McCain has put her back in the box and is hoping no more shoes drop on the box and knock it open again. Some say Palin is like Dan Quayle, that is only partly true. Remember when President Reagan needed an African American for the Supreme Court, he surprised the American people with an African American that was anti-African American. Well, McCain has found a female American who is anti-female American (anti-choice). Most things that Hillary is for on the issues, Palin is against. Palin is McCain's Judge Thomas, and like him, she will be used to divide Americans and restore cultural extremism.
Let's go back to the floor of the convention one last time. The delegates loved Palin. The PCH Index was 1.8% on the floor. That is, less then 2% of the delegates were African Americans vs. the Democrats with approximately 64% AA Delegates. The convention delegates are one big social conservative focus group. From their reaction, it would seem that he has successfully duped them and the MSM into thinking the Bush/McCain Palin stay the course torture and divide tag team is now miraculously the McCain "Change" and national unity expert on the economy team. The question is does the public, not the convention, buy this?
70% of the American people are against Bush and the Republicans on the issues. They want the war ended. They want National Sick Care and they want a Green Moon Shot to put the economy back on track and secure our future. Bush/McCain especially with Palin have made it clear they are not going to do any of these things. The Choices could not be clearer, and I believe the election results will depend on the nation's cultural health. It has been said that if the Republican brand were dog food it would be removed from the shelves. We already know what party will win the election on the issues and that makes 2008 the biggest benchmark on the Nation's Cultural Health since the 1960's. If the Republican convention was about anything, it was about the past. They hardly mentioned today's issues, the current condition of the middle class or the future. The stakes are high, Health care for all, depends on the Cultural Health of all. The question is, are we going forward or backward, what do you think, vote in the poll.
The official Woman's Finals in New York City took place oddly enough on Sunday. A Williams won, however the real finals took place on Wednesday, what were the US-Open and USTA officials thinking?
Now, I do not claim to understand the ranking and draw mathematics. I am just a simple tennis fan, but how did the two best players in the world, on the woman's side of tennis, wind up facing each other in the quarter finals. I have a friend who does not play tennis like I do, but watches tennis whenever the Williams sisters are playing. Often he is the one to call me to tell me that they are on. When he called me this time exasperated, he wanted to know why they were put in the same draw. I was at a lost. It didn't make sense to me either.
Yes, I watched the official finals and The American defeated the Serbian Jelena Jankovic 6-4, 7-5. Serena's opponent did better then expected and the match was very interesting and entertaining, but turned out as most people expected. Most people watching also knew that the real finals already happened. Some how the powers that be need to do better then this in the future, so that we fans can see the best players in a tournament, actually play in the "finals".
For the best point of the real finals Lets Go to the Video Tape
Many reporters have been attacked in St Paul by Mayor Coleman's out of control police. (Video)
Democracy Now reporters were attacked and imprisoned in violation of the first amendment. Amy Goodman the famous progressive voice of Democracy Now went to talk to the commanding officer regarding their release. She was not taken to the Commanding officer, as is her right, she was ordered arrested by officers under Sargent McKenzie's control. Lets Go To The Video Tape
This is an outrage. Amy has been released but her reporters remain in jail. Why is this story not the lead story on all media everyday until all members of the American Press are released in accordance with the first amendment. When a member of the press is prevented from doing their job of filming and reporting events in the nation, we the public are blinded and unjustly prevented from receiving the information we need to make informed judgments about events in our country. If anti-American constitution violators get away with attacking prominent members of Press by day, they will surely attack citizen Journalists at Newsvine and blogs at night.
St Paul, Minnesota is an American disgrace. The Bush/McCain Republicans unlike the Democrats, that spoke with those demonstrating and avoided the police abuse that Republicans allowed.The Republicans did nothing.I do not hear the Republicans or the Democrats calling for the release of the Press from Minnesota imprisonment, this is unacceptable. Call the party you support and let them know you want action.
Call to Action - Bloggers Unit 1. Run the story
2. call Mayor Colman 651 266-8510
I demand the following
- Release all Press
- Drop all charges
- Demote Sargent McKenzie and any officers involved in the arrest of the Press
Image via WikipediaThe senator's family history includes a Mississippi plantation and the enslavement of Africans. The McCain family held this plantation and continued to steal labor from Africans, as they tell it, into the 1950's (Video)![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=b1221cf5-2411-4efc-a837-94b170bcfa42)
