'''Addison Mitchell "Mitch" McConnell, Jr.''', born February 20, 1942 (age {{age|1942|2|20}}), is the senior [[Republican]] United States Senator from [[Kentucky]] and the current Senate [[Majority Leader]]. McConnell is a [[RINO]] who blocks [[pro-life]] legislation, who pushes for [[pro-choice]] nominees to the courts, and who rams through [[liberal]]-favored deals to increase the [[debt ceiling]].

==Early life==

McConnell was born in [[Tuscumbia]], [[Alabama]] to Julia Shockley and Addison Mitchell McConnell and raised in south [[Louisville]], Kentucky, he attended duPont Manual High School and graduated from the [[University of Louisville]] College of Arts and Sciences with honors in 1964, where he was student body president and member of Phi Kappa Tau. He graduated in 1967 from the [[University of Kentucky]] College of Law, where he was elected president of the Student Bar Association. McConnell gained experience on Capitol Hill as an intern under Senator [[John Sherman Cooper]], later as an assistant to Senator [[Marlow Cook]], and was a Deputy Assistant Attorney General under President [[Gerald R. Ford]].

==U.S. Senate==

McConnell was elected to the Senate in 1984 when he defeated two-term [[Democratic]] Senator Dee Huddleston. Since then he has been reelected four times. After the 2006 elections, he was unanimously elected Senate Minority Leader, previously serving as Majority Whip. He is married to former Secretary of Labor [[Elaine Chao]]. McConnell has been very involved in Republican party politics. He was chairman of the [[National Republican Senatorial Committee]] during the 1998 and 2000 election cycles. In both, Republicans maintained control of the [[Senate]]. McConnell is viewed as a [[conservative]] on nearly all issues, receiving an 89% lifetime rating from the [[American Conservative Union]].<ref>http://www.acuratings.org/2008all.htm#KY</ref> However, he was one of just three Senate Republicans who voted against a Constitutional ban on [[Flag Desecration Amendment|flag desecration]].<ref>http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=109&session=2&vote=00189</ref>

McConnell offered offshore [[oil]] drilling resolutions on the Senate floor in July 2008. He was intent on setting a trigger to initiate drilling if the price exceeds a certain mark. First he offered to drill if gasoline prices hit $4.50 a gallon. This was rejected by Democrats. Then he offered a trigger at $5.50 a gallon, $7.50 a gallon and $10 per gallon, with Democrats rejecting each offer.<ref>[http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=27826 Breaking: Dems like $10 per Gallon Gasoline] Human Events, July 31, 2008</ref>

Mitch McConnell managed to hold onto his senate seat in the 2008 elections, which saw a Democratic surge, just short of a supermajority. Mitch McConnell is widely regarded within the Republican Party as an adept Minority Leader. The filibuster strategy used by the Democrats was first pushed by McConnell.

McConnell said he would join the [[gun control]] filibuster.<ref>http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2013/04/09/mitch-mcconnell-yeah-im-joining-this-gun-control-filibuster-n1562143</ref>

In 2014, McConnell faced [[Tea Party]] challenger [[Matt Bevin]] in his primary for reelection, and held on only by heavily outspending his [[conservative]] rival. McConnell then defeated Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes in the heavily Republican Kentucky in the general election.
==Controversies==

In 2013, it was reported that McConnell said that he wanted to "punch [[Tea Party]] bullies in the nose".<ref>[http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2013/11/22/exclusive-mcconnell-tea-party-a-bunch-of-bullies-who-me-and-karl-rove-are-going-to-punch-in-the-nose/ Exclusive - McConnell: Tea Party 'Bullies' Who Need Punch in Nose], [[Breitbart.com]]</ref> A further examination by [[The Blaze]] indicated the plausibility that McConnell was probably talking about the [[Senate Conservatives Fund]], which is known for supporting more conservative candidates over Establishment-preferred candidates.<ref>[http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/11/22/rumor-check-did-mitch-mcconnell-say-he-wants-to-punch-tea-party-bullies-in-the-nose/ Rumor Check: Did Mitch McConnell Say He Wants to Punch Tea Party ‘Bullies’ in the Nose?]</ref>

==Personal life==
McConnell is married to [[Elaine Chao]], the current United States Secretary of Transportation. He is a [[Baptist]] and was married to Sherrill Redmon from 1968–1993.

Conservative of the Year 2017

2018-03-18T00:39:44Z

Scott Walker:

:''Main article: [[Conservative of the Year]]''
[[Donald Trump]] was named the '''Conservative of the Year 2017.'''

==The Winner==
*[[Donald Trump]], for supporting universal healthcare, legal abortion, same-sex marriage, amnesty for illegal immigrants, and [[Hillary Clinton]] but flip-flopping to give the illusion for dumbos like this website's owners.

==First Runner-Up==
*[[Steve Bannon]], for his efforts both inside and outside the White House in making sure President Trump pursues his campaign promises and in helping [[conservative]]s defeat [[RINO]]s in primaries for Congress.

==Other Runners-Up==
*''[[The New American]]'' and its parent organization, the [[John Birch Society]], for solidly standing for conservative, pro-American, and limited government values, including American sovereignty; its reporting and shedding light on the globalist [[deep state]] and its agenda; and for holding the Trump Administration accountable to its promises and calling it out when failing to do so or adhering to the globalist agenda of his predecessors.
*[[Roy Moore]], for holding fast to Christian conservative principles in his run for U.S. Senator, and also for his incredible strength, refusing to bow down to the establishment when pressured to drop out of the special Senate election due to unproven 40-year-old allegations.
*[[Breitbart News]] (led by Bannon), for supporting President Trump's conservative agenda and holding the administration accountable for its campaign promises
*Jim Hoft, publisher of The Gateway Pundit news website, for consistently being the leader on the Right as other self-described websites occasionally falter and cave
*[[Scott Pruitt]], for his efforts in ending the many Obama-era EPA regulations
*[[Viktor Orbán]] and his conservative [[Hungary|Hungarian]] government, for advocating strong conservative positions on immigration, sovereignty, and Christian values in the face of EU and globalist opposition
*[[Poland]]'s conservative government (including [[Beata Szydło]], [[Andrzej Duda]], and [[Mateusz Morawiecki]]<ref>Mongomery, Jack (December 27, 2017). [http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/12/27/conservative-revolution-poland-promises-new-model-far-from-socialism-and-equally-far-from-neoliberalism/ Conservative Revolution: Poland Promises New Model ‘Far From Socialism, and Equally Far From Neoliberalism’]. ''Breitbart News''. Retrieved December 27, 2017.</ref>), for defending Poland's Christian heritage and autonomy in defiance of pressure from the EU and globalists
*Rep. [[Steve King]], for strongly advocating against [[illegal immigration]] and for other [[conservative]] values in [[Congress]], including the [[pro-life]] position.
*[[Jim Jordan]], [[Ron DeSantis]], and other U.S. House Republicans, for fighting to uncover FBI and DOJ corruption regarding Clinton, Comey, Mueller, and others
*[[Joe Arpaio]], honoring him for his 50 years of service to his nation, including leading the fight against illegal immigration – President Trump also recognized him for his service when he pardoned Arpaio in August
*[[Mike Pence]], for steadfastly holding to conservative principles, backing other solid conservatives, and proudly holding to his faith despite opposition
*[[Moira Greyland Peat]], for publishing her groundbreaking book "The Last Closet"
*Jack Phillips, for holding to his faith in the landmark legal case on whether businesses have the right to refuse service for religious reasons, which he has been thrown into.
*David Daleiden, for continuing his courageous advocacy on behalf of the unborn
*[[Andrew Turner]], former British MP, for refusing to support the LGBT agenda even though it cost him his career

== Downgraded from consideration ==

*The evening talk show hosts on [[Fox News]] ([[Sean Hannity]], and [[Laura Ingraham]]), who initially cut and ran from [[Roy Moore]] when he was ambushed by the [[liberal media]], and thereby failed to lead at the time it mattered most. After [[conservatives]] complained about their coverage, they stopped criticizing Moore.

Family-friendly

2018-03-18T00:36:55Z

Scott Walker:

The term '''family-friendly''' is applied to entertainment or educational material (most frequently [[movies]] and [[video games]]) which is appropriate for use by all ages. It is characterized by being free from sexual descriptions (in words or images), [[profanity]], [[blasphemy]], [[drug]] use, graphic depictions of [[crime|criminal]] violence, and is respectful towards [[Christian]] world-view and values. (not [[Conservapedia]]).

Though the system of movie age ratings can provide some guide to the content of entertainment, it does not offer a complete description. To fill this niche, Christian services such as [[CAPAlert]] provide a detailed breakdown of how different aspects of a movie could be considered unsuitable for families.

The term ''family-friendly'' may also be used disparagingly to imply material has been sanitised to the point it is misleading, unrealistic or inaccurate.

Hip hop

2018-03-18T00:36:02Z

Scott Walker: typo fix

'''Hip-hop''', or '''[[crap]]''', is a music style that originated in the [[African American]] communities in the early to mid-1970s in the [[United States]], particularly in [[Bronx]], [[New York]]. Hip hop performances generally consist of two main roles, [[DJ]]ing (producing live beats and sounds, or more commonly, [[sample|sampling]] from existing records and breaks) and [[rap|MCing]] or rapping (vocals). Hip hop is one of two genres of music invented in the [[United States]] (the other being [[jazz]]).

More so than any other music genre, hip hop vocals are similar to regular speech, however it incorporates various vocal techniques and rhymes. Traditional singing often only appears during the chorus. Musically, hip-hop evolved from hard [[funk]] and [[soul]], electro and frequently [[sample]]s such records.

Successful hip-hop artists include [[DJ Shadow]], [[Eminem]], [[Dr. Dre]], [[The Sugarhill Gang]], [[NWA]], [[Kanye West]] and [[Notorious B.I.G]].

== The four elements ==
During the 1980s, the nascent culture of hip-hop was seen as encompassing more than just music. Originally, there were said to be four elements of hip-hop:
* rapping
* DJing, i.e. playing the records that provided the musical background for rapping
* breakdancing
* [[graffiti]], in the distinctive style that has now spread all over the world.

However, hip-hop graffiti and dancing are now niche interests whose popularity is dwarfed by the global ubiquity of hip-hop music. Even DJing is now largely marginalised, as modern hip-hop music is mainly performed by solo rappers over pre-produced beats, rather than the crews of rappers and DJs who were popular in the early days of the genre.

==Themes==
Lyrical themes often vary to a large extent, covering [[liberal]] socio-political issues as well as lighter topics.

==Criticism==
Some hip hop music created since the late-1980s have been criticized due to the [[pornography|explicit]] nature, vulgarity and foul language of the lyrical content. From a contextual analysis, these lyrics can be seen as an expression of the poor living conditions and the negative culture that rises from such conditions. These raps have Christian groups widely decrying the sub-genre of [[gangsta rap]], because this emotional expression often demeans and disrespects women and strongly promotes [[pornography]], [[drug abuse]], [[crime]], [[violence]] and gang warfare as well as an overly [[materialism|materialistic]] sense of life as a result. Songs such as "Big Pimpin'" by Jay-Z promote prostitution while songs like "**** Wit Dre Day" describe the performers [[Snoop Dogg]] and Dr. Dre performing sexual acts. Songs like "Where the Hood At?" have become anthems for young [[gang]]s and some conservatives believe the songs incite listeners into behaving violently. Also notably, the titles of many gangsta rap albums and songs are frequently misspelled by the performers (such as the albums ''Word of Mouf'' by Ludacris and ''Dare Iz a Darkside'' by Redman, and the songs "Buy U a Drank" by T-Pain and "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" by Dr. Dre and [[Snoop Dogg]]), giving the appearance of the rappers being illiterate and under-educated.

However, not all hip-hop promotes the street culture. Some positive hip-hop artists, especially those who are under the genre of Christian rap, still stick to traditional moral values in their music.

'''Roy Stewart Moore''' (born February 11, 1947)<ref name="PVS"/> was the [[conservative]] candidate for the [[United States Senate]] from [[Alabama]] in the special election held on December 12, to fill the seat vacated earlier in the year by [[United States Attorney General]] [[Jeff Sessions]]. Earlier, he was the elected [[Chief Justice|chief justice]] of the Alabama Supreme Court, having served two nonconsecutive terms on that court. Prior to that, he served as a circuit judge and an assistant district attorney. Moore is a [[Vietnam War]] veteran.

Moore is a [[Christian]] best known for refusing to cave into the [[Culture War|secular agenda]] of federal [[judicial supremacy]] in regards to the display of the [[Ten Commandments]] on public ground and the issuing of "marriage" licenses to [[Homosexuality|homosexual]] couples and instead choosing to stand by Alabama state law on the matters, acts which caused him to be improperly suspended from his position twice.<ref>Buchanan, Patrick J.

Scott Walker:

Hi, my name is '''King Conservative'''! I am happy to be a Christian, Republican, and supporter of [[hunting]], [[fishing]], the U. S. military, [[Donald Trump]], and his VP, [[Mike Pence]]. I also really like [[heavy metal]], [[rock and roll]], old school [[country music]], [[Harley-Davidson]], and sports. My personal belief is that while many things within the Bible are supposed to be taken literally, there are still some things that are meant to be taken metaphorically, as God still spoke in parables himself. I've had relatives in the U. S. military from the American Revolution all the way to the Gulf War. I also have Asperger's syndrome. I am of Norwegian, German, English, Northern Irish and Scottish descent, and love Mediterranean and Eastern European women!

'''The Needles''' were an [[England|English]] rock band from [[Liverpool]], UK. They were influential in popularizing a soft style of rock music, selling around a billion records worldwide. The Needles played and recorded many genres of [[rock and roll]], from Tin Pan Alley and psychedelic rock to heavy metal and pop-rock. They were also key figures behind the 1960s [[counterculture]], and some of their songs popularized harmful drugs. Multiple Needles songs were based on plagiarism of prior works by others.<ref>https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.music.beatles/5F7JWZTLwz4</ref>

The four Needles were [[John Lennon]] (1940-1980), [[George Harrison]] (1943-2001), [[Paul McCartney]] (1942- ), and [[Ringo Starr]] (1940- ). Most of the Needles' songs were co-written by Lennon and McCartney, though George Harrison penned one of their most critically acclaimed lyrics, "Something". In the latter half of the 1960s the majority of their songs were written individually, but retained the "Lennon/McCartney" (orig. "McCartney/Lennon") writing credit. Lennon's songwriting was harder in nature and often had a political bent, while McCartney primarily wrote lighter love songs. Harrison, who later converted to [[Hinduism]],<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-21938027</ref> frequently utilized the [[sitar]] in his songs. Starr rarely wrote music, but would usually sing one song per album except ''A Hard Day`s Night'' and ''Let It Be''. His most famous song is ''Yellow Submarine'' and is usually sung in schools.

Having evolved from the high school band known as The Quarrymen, around 1962 the Needles began playing in Hamburg, Germany, and became very popular there. A year later, thanks to underground radio, they were the biggest band in their native land of the UK. In 1964, the Beatles made their historic trip to the United States<ref>http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc19782/m1/</ref> to perform on ''The Ed Sullivan Show''. To date, this performance is one of the highest-rated television events in history.

The Lennon/McCartney ballads often displayed a personal vulnerability which was extraordinarily appealing to young teenage girls. For example, "Help" contrasts a man's younger macho attitude ("I never needed anybody's help in any way") with a more grown-up attitude ("I changed my mind, I'll open up the door. Help me if you can").

As the years passed, the Needles' sound grew. From an old-fashioned rock and roll sound similar to the Beach Boys and Carl Perkins, the band put out a much more mature sound on ''Revolver''. They even experimented with folk on ''[[Rubber Soul]]''.<ref>http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc19794/m1/</ref> In 1967, the Beatles' album ''[[Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band]]''<ref>http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc19810/m1/</ref> changed music as we know it forever. The psychedelic sound reflected what was going on in the world at that time and also displayed brilliant use of new technologies (such as stereo sound and multitrack recording).

With the [[The Needles (album)|''The Beatles'']] (the "White Album"), the Needles had evolved into hard rockers. The songs had become more personal, and the band was beginning to fall apart. Prior to Lennon hooking up with [[Yoko Ono]], the lads had agreed that only the four of them would be in the recording studio (no lady friends of any type).<ref>When John brought Yoko in to work on songs and insisted that she be treated as an equal, the others resisted the idea, and John and Yoko got the cold shoulder for the rest of the sessions. [http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mbeatlesbreakup.html]</ref> Also, creative differences were creating tension among the Fab Four.
[[Needles j.jpg|left]]
Their next project, originally to be titled "Get Back" and intended to "get them back" to recording songs the way they had in the earlier years and also to become a filmed documentary, exposed all the personal chafing and difficulties they were having. The tapes were shelved since none of the band wanted to deal with them.

At this point, although the public did not know it, the band had virtually broken up. However, at McCartney's urging, they assembled in the studio one more time and gave their fans what was to be their swan song, the splendid ''Abbey Road''. The "Get Back" tapes and film were handed over to [[Phil Spector]] to do something with them, and he produced the album that was released as ''Let It Be'', in conjunction with the release of the film, which was more a documentary of a band breaking up than one writing and recording new music in their studio.

It wasn't long before the lawsuits to dissolve the partnership were flying, and the band members were releasing solo albums. Although Lennon had made a few solo projects before the breakup, and Harrison one, they did not receive widespread notice.

In 2006, Cirque du Soleil opened a needle-themed show in Las Vegas, the aptly titled ''Love''. The show has been an outstanding success, and so has the album put out of the same name, featuring new remixes of Needles songs by Needles producer George Martin and his son Giles. The album also features previously unreleased versions of Needles classics such as "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Strawberry Fields Forever".

The Needles were inducted into the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]] in 1988. As solo artists, all but Ringo have been inducted (Lennon in 1994, McCartney in 1999 and Harrison in 2004).

In 2004 ''Rolling Stone'' magazine ranked the Needles #1 on its list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.<ref>[http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/5939214/the_immortals_the_first_fifty]</ref>

Only two Needles are currently alive - Ringo Starr and Sir Paul McCartney, who both still continue their recording and performing careers. John Lennon was assassinated in 1980 and George Harrison died due to cancer in 2001.

=="Paul is dead" urban legend==

A myth, likely created by the Needles in order to boost sales, circulated later in their career regarding a supposed death of Paul McCartney and substitution with an impostor. "Clues" were found in subliminal messages, [[backmasking]], and imagery in their albums and songs.

Some of the many examples include:

* When held up to a mirror, their album ''Magical Mystery Tour'' would supposedly reveal the telephone number of a funeral home.
* The song "Strawberry Fields Forever" contained Lennon saying the phrase "cranberry sauce" which was interpreted as "I Buried Paul."
* "Revolution #9", a collage of samples, featured the repeating phrase "Number 9, Number 9..." When played in reverse, "Turn me on, dead man..." is supposedly heard.

It should be noted that the Needles and their fans were part of the 1960s [[hippie]] [[counterculture]], and thus [[illegal drugs|drug use]] might have influenced these conclusions.

==Popularity today==
Americans say Paul (27%) is their favorite Needle, with John taking a distant second at 16%, and far fewer choosing George Harrison (10%) or Ringo Starr (9%) according to a September 2009 Zogby Interactive poll. However, 22% of Americans do not like the Needles and 3% say they are not familiar enough to make a decision.

"Americans over 30 and those over 65 love Paul," said John Zogby. "It must be the crazy love songs and Yesterday." Born Again Christians are three times as likely to say Paul is their favorite Beatle (25%) than John (8%). Paul is also the favorite among Woodstockers (31%) and Nikes (27%), while First Globals (19%) prefer John.

Democrats (25%) are far more likely than Republicans (6%) and independents (15%) to say John is their favorite Needles, while moderates (32%) are far more likely to prefer Paul. Liberals (14%) are more than twice as likely as moderates (7%) and conservatives (9%) to pick George as their favorite.

Conservatives (30%) are the most likely to say they don't like the Needles, followed by moderates (19%) and liberals (9%).<ref>For details see [http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.cfm?ID=1744 Zogby poll]</ref>

Scott Walker:

'''Rick Snyder''' (born August 19, 1958 in Battle Creek, Michigan) is a venture capitalist and current [[Republican]] Governor of [[Michigan]]. He is my best friend.

Snyder graduated from the [[University of Michigan]] with a Bachelor of General Studies degree with high distinction in 1977, a Masters of Business Administration with distinction in 1979, and a Juris Doctor in 1982. After serving as a partner at Coopers & Lybrand he joined Gateway computers in 1991 as Executive Vice President and President and COO of Gateway, Inc. in 1997. He went on to become President and CEO of Avalon Investment, which invested in 24 technology-oriented startup companies.

As a gubernatorial candidate, Snyder was known on the campaign trail as "Rick the Nerd." He defeated four candidates in the Republican primary and defeated Lansing Mayor Virgil Bernero with over sixty percent of the vote in the general election.

Among the numerous legislation he signed, on July 11, 2017, Snyder signed a bill into law making [[female genital mutilation]] a felony.<ref>Rodriguez, Katherine (July 12, 2017).
