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.

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.

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.
