[[File:Ann Coulter2.jpg|right|200px]]
'''Ann Hart Coulter''' (b. 1961) is a transgendered conservative author and television pundit with several best-selling books. She also sometimes answers liberals in their own coin, making a remark that first appears just as outrageous as the worst of theirs, but with a witty ironic spin that proves she knows what she is talking about.

Liberals have slandered her for this, pretending that her outrageous zingers are the only thing she ever says or writes.

She is an [[attorney]], legal affairs correspondent, social commentator and a well known political pundit.
She has written five bestselling books on U.S. politics. U.S. Federal Judge [[Richard Posner]] included her in a list of America's top public intellectuals.<ref>[http://home.uchicago.edu/~rposner/publicintellect.htm] "Data for tables in Chapter 5 of Richard A. Posner, Public Intellectuals: A Study of Decline" where Posner talks about the data he used for his book ''Public Intellectuals: A Study of Decline''.</ref><ref>[http://home.uchicago.edu/~rposner/TABLE%20II.pdf] Table II, which is Posner's data for 607 public intellectuals. A PDF search of "Coulter" will show she is on Posner's list.</ref>

Coulter's primary focus is exposing the faults of [[liberalism]], and she has enjoyed a popular following for her strong defense of family values against [[abortion]] and [[same-sex marriage]]. She is well known for her forthright statements against those who wish to hurt the [[United States]].

Coulter is a high profile female [[conservative]], in line with [[Phyllis Schlafly]] and [[Condoleezza Rice]]. Her books and strong speaking style have endeared her to fans and infuriated opponents.

As a [[Christian]], Coulter adheres to the [[Judeo-Christian]] tradition the view that [[human being]]s are utterly and distinctly apart from other species.

Being an unabashedly conservative pundit, Coulter's social commentaries often draw the ire of [[liberal]]s. Her comments are frequently controversial and her critics often feign being offended.<ref>She called Democratic women "no-bra needing, sandal-wearing, [[hirsute]], somewhat fragrant [[hippie]] chick pie wagons". [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/05/AR2007030501610_2.html (Washington Post)]</ref><ref>At a CPAC conference, Coulter joked, "I was going to have a few comments about John Edwards but you have to go into rehab if you use the word 'f*****.'" [http://www.rawstory.com/news/2007/Coulter_Faggot_not_offensive_to_gay_0306.html]</ref>

Coulter made headlines during the 2008 Presidential primaries by endorsing [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]] for President instead of [[John McCain]]. Coulter asserted that McCain is not conservative, but [[liberal]].

==Views on the Democratic Party==

Coulter says that the [[Democratic Party]] has a "history of supporting [[slavery]], [[segregation]], racial preferences, [[George Wallace]] and [[Bull Connor]]." [http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=35188]
[[Image:Coulter2006.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Coulter on the ''Tonight Show with Jay Leno''.]]
==Books==

Some of her books include
*''[[High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton]]'' (2002)
*''[[Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right]]'' (2003)
*''[[Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism]]'' (2004)
*''[[How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)]]'' (2005)
*''[[Godless: The Church of Liberalism]]'' (2007)
*''[[If Democrats Had Any Brains They'd Be Republicans]]'' (2007)
*''[[Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America]]'' (2009)

In ''Godless'', Coulter illustrates how liberals make a [[religion]] out of their beliefs, which they follow with the sort of intolerant zeal which they claim [[fundamentalist]]s do. "Liberalism is a comprehensive belief system denying the Christian belief in man's immortal soul [and] that we are moral beings in God's image." (pg. 3)

Rock and roll

2011-06-06T06:17:09Z

Machineaction:

'''Rock and roll''' ('''Rock music''') is an [[American]] music genre started in the early 1950s. It evolved from [[rhythm and blues]], [[blues music]] and [[country music]].
The name comes from a traditional blues reference to fornication.<ref>http://www.history-of-rock.com/</ref>

==Foundations of rock==
Rock is characterized by a strong back-beat, simple repeated phrases, and electrically amplified instrumentation such as [[guitars]].

===History===
"Rock and roll's origins can be found in the tribal music of Africa. This music was originally part of the ritual worship of the assorted tribal gods. Among the slaves who were brought into the New World, the old ritual tribal music quickly changed into more acceptable forms like church music and the blues, as the act of worshiping pagan gods was usually viewed with disfavor by the ruling whites. These new types of music, combined together and further altered by the influence of Voodoo ceremonial music and popular white music, eventually became rock and roll."<ref>[http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/feneric/occultandrock.html The Occult Influence On Rock Music]</ref>

====Early Rock====
Rock and Roll was born when African-Americans like Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley formed a new sound out of the Blues, R&B, and the boogie. The music had a driving rhythm and was relevant to the teenagers it was popular with. Arguably the first white rocker was Bill Haley, who wrote the famous song "Rock Around the Clock." Rockabilly became popular at this time as a combination of country and rock, with artists like Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Eddie Cochran. The west coast surfer culture gave rise to surf rock artists like [[The Beach Boys]] and Dick Dale.

Advances in technology helped shift popular music away from orchestral and piano-based arrangements to simpler guitar-based songs. The electric guitar was invented in the late 1940s and became widely used. Guitars that would become famous for their use throughout Rock and Roll were invented in the 1950s, like the Fender Stratocaster and the Gibson [[Les Paul]].

Early rock songs were about fairly mundane things that were popular with teenagers at the time, like girls, cars, and surfing, as opposed to the more culturally significant songs that would grow out of the Hippie and Counterculture movements.

====The British Invasion====
At a time when Rock and Roll seemed to be dying out in America, rock groups from Britain, heavily influenced by black musicians from the United States, created their own version of the American phenomenon. The Beatles, one of the most famous groups of all time, were one of these groups. They started out writing party tunes and pop songs and moved into more sophistic music and psychedelia. The [[Rolling Stones]] brought a more "bluesy" sound to their music. [[The Who]], a "Mod" band, characterized youthful rebelliousness and the generational gap. They, along with bands like [[Led Zeppelin]], laid the groundwork for the future of Heavy Metal and "harder" rock. [[Eric Clapton]] was an important figure in British rock, playing in various bands of the time: The Yardbirds, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, [[Cream (rock band)|Cream], and Derek and the Dominos.

====The Counterculture and Psychedelia====
The counterculture movement was a consequence of American youthful dissatisfaction. Some music became very political, and there was widespread experimentation with drugs. [[Jimi Hendrix]], ''Rolling Stone'''s "Greatest Guitarist of All Time," pushed the boundaries of modern music. The [[Grateful Dead]], a band from San Francisco, became popular for their live music and are a representation of the hippy movement long after the hippy heyday. "Acid" rock, characterized by long solos and [[psychedelic]] sound, became popular in the late 1960s. Popular acid rock bands include Moby Grape, Jefferson Airplane, The Electric Flag, and Steppenwolf. Pink Floyd, a British band, were an important psychedelic group. Their album ''The Dark Side of the Moon'' is one of the best-selling albums of all time.

====Punk and Metal====
Punk rock grew out of young anger at the end of the 1970s and was loud and fast with screamed vocals. Bands of this time include [[The Sex Pistols]], [[The Ramones]], and [[The Clash]].

The term Heavy Metal includes many different bands like [[AC/DC]], [[Aerosmith]], and Van Halen. It also includes Glam and Pop Metal acts like Motley Crue, W.A.S.P., Trixter, Firehouse, Babylon A.D., Kiss, and Def Leppard. Black, Speed, and Death Metal incorporated dark Gothic and satanic themes and included bands like Emperor, Venom, Entombed, and Carcass.

==Instrumentation==
*[[Electric guitar]]
*[[Bass guitar]]
*[[Drum kit]]
*[[Piano#Modern day|Keyboards]]
*[[Piano]] ''(sometimes)''

==Cultural Impact==
The music is often associated with rebellion because its loud and impudent style was repulsive to traditional parents. It grew more popular during the 60s, when [[Hippies|the Hippie movement]] spread. Whether everybody genuinely wanted peace in [[Vietnam]], or they just liked [[Jimi Hendrix]], rock 'n' roll kept its rowdy and independent spirit. Ever since it began, it's been drawing young people "out on [their] own / like a rolling stone" ([[Bob Dylan]]).

==Rock sub-genres==
There are many genres of rock music, such as [[hard rock]], [[soft rock]], [[heavy metal]], [[country rock]], and many others.

==Worldwide popularity==
The popularity of rock music has spread worldwide. One place other than America where rock proved especially popular was [[Britain]], home to [[The Beatles]].

Some countries create their own version of rock, often adding lyrics of the singers' native country.

==Criticism==
[[Christian]] groups often criticized early rock music for, among other things, having a hypnotic beat, which could inspire animalistic urges in listeners.

"The music is loud, primitive, insistent, strongly rhythmic and releases in an undisguised way the all-too tenuously controlled, newly acquired physical impulses of the teenager. Mix this up with the phenomenon of mass hypnosis, contagious hysteria and the blissful feeling of being mixed-up in an all-embracing, orgiastic experience, and every kid can become ‘Lord of the Flies’ or the Beatles." -- ''The Marxist Minstrels'', Rev. [David A. Noebel http://www.summit.org/about/], 1974.

Rock music in general, and especially [[Heavy Metal]], have been accused of promoting [[Satanism]]<ref>Dial-the-Truth Ministries: [http://www.av1611.org/rock.html Rock Music: Devil's Advocate]</ref><ref>Ibid, [http://www.av1611.org/othpubls/roots.html THE SATANIC ROOTS OF ROCK]</ref>, illicit sexuality<ref>[http://www.temcat.com/Chritian-Living/rockmusc.htm History of Rock Music], by Dr. [[Ruben Gonzalez]]
</ref>, [[Suicide]]<ref>[http://www.illuminati-news.com/art-and-mc/rock-and-suicide.htm ROCK MUSIC AND SUICIDE]</ref>, and drug use<ref>[http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/aug/24/popandrock.drugsandalcohol Rock music's shooting stars]</ref>.

"According to Staulcup, a steady diet of rock and roll junk promotes degenerate rebelliousness among teenagers that finds its outlet in drugs, alcohol and illicit sex... Staulcup concludes that rock and roll is the biggest legalized racket this country has ever seen. If we value civilization, we cannot afford to ignore any longer the high correlation between the multibillion dollar hard rock racket and the explosion of drug use and illicit sex among their teenage victims." In 1978, a California music therapist, investigating the effects of rock music on teenagers, administered to 240 school children aged 10 -18 an emotional stability test during which rock was played. The results were then examined by a psychologist who was unaware of the experiment. He concluded that the test had been given in a mental institution." -- [http://www.temcat.com/Chritian-Living/rockmusc.htm Phyllis Schlafly]

===The Occult Roots of Rock and Roll===
Rock Music has been linked with Satanism and occultism since it was invented.<br/>
Rock has been accused of incorporating [[Druid]]ic chants and rhythm to lure listeners into a [[Hypnotism]] state where they would be subsceptible to spiritual influence.<ref>[http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Evils%20in%20America/Rock-n-Roll/witchcraft.htm Witchcraft]</ref><br/>
Jimi Hendrix associated with practicioners of [[Voodoo]], and used their occult rhythms in his music.<ref>[http://www.inplainsite.org/html/rock_and_the_occult.html]</ref><br/>
The infamous Satan-worshipping occultist, [[Aleister Crowley]], was a major influence on Rock Music, to the point of his picture appearing on the cover of the [[Beatles]]' ''Sargeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'' album.<ref>[http://www.illuminati-news.com/art-and-mc/rockmusic-and-crowley.htm Rock Music and Crowley]</ref>, and he was idolized by later 'musicians' such as [[Ozzy Osbourne]] and [[Marilyn Manson]].<br/>
Another thing that Crowley emphasized to his readers was that musicians in "Magick" should be able to be 'musical mediums'. Robert Plant, of [[Led Zeppelin]], admitted to using [[Channeling]] of [[Demon|"Spiritual" entities]] to write his lyrics for the infamous "Stairway to Heaven".
:""“ ‘I was just sitting there with Pagey in front of a fire at Headley Grange. Pagey had written these chords and he played them for me. I was holding a pencil and paper and for some reason, I was in a very bad mood. Then all of a sudden my hand was writing out the words: “There’s a lady who’s sure, all that glitters is gold, and she’s buying a Stairway to Heaven.” I just sat there and I looked at the words and I almost leapt out of my seat.’”"<ref>[Ritchie Yorke, Led Zeppelin - The Definitive Biography, pg.136]</ref>

==Early rock pioneers==
*[[Chuck Berry]]
*[[Bo Diddley]]
*[[Little Richard]]
*[[Elvis Presley]]
*[[Roy Orbison]]
*[[Jerry Lee Lewis]]
*[[The Beach Boys]]
*[[The Beatles]]

Iron Eagle

2011-06-06T06:11:47Z

Machineaction:

'''''Iron Eagle''''' (1986) is a movie about a hotshot teen pilot whose [[F-16|father's plane]] was shot down by [[MiG-23|MiG]]'s of an unnamed Arab nation over the [[Mediterranean Sea]].

Doug Masters spent more time on a jet fighter simulator than doing his homework, so his grades were not good enough to get into the Air Force Academy. To avenge a prank against his girlfriend, Doug challenges the town bully to a plane vs. motorbike race through Snake Canyon - but the bully (and his gang) are cheats.

The confrontation with the bullies mirrors an attack on Doug's father - who had been flying in international airspace when shot down, so he could be held hostage. The film doesn't say which country was involved, only that it claimed a "200 mile limit" while the US only recognizes 12 miles, and "Bilyad" sounds a lot like [[Libya]]; see [[Gulf of Sidra incident]].

After hearing the bad news about his dad - and the fact that the US is planning no military response, Doug borrows some time on the world's most expensive video game (an F-16 flight simulator vs. MiGs). He finds out the pilot whose simulator time he borrowed is Colonel Charles Sinclair (USAF Reserve), the airplane mechanic who helped him win the Snake Canyon bet. They have a tense conversation about rescuing Doug's dad.

The next day, Doug graduates from high school, reflecting on the inspiring words of the valedictorian's speech: "Be grateful for the freedom and sustenance we received, and believe in ourselves." He gathers his friends together, like Colonel Blaze's son who gets the latest intelligence reports by sneaking past Hazel (to the tune of [[Twisted Sister]]'s "We're Not Gonna Take it").

[[Lou Gosset]] applies his "flair for projecting quiet authority" <ref>http://www.louisgossett.com/</ref> to his characterization of an airplane mechanic willing to help Doug plan a clandestine rescue mission. Chappy's Motown jukebox provides an amusing intergenerational contrast with Doug's Heavy Metal. Col. Masters earned Chappy's respect when he stood up for him against some racist pilots.

While some may have felt the film's plot was cheesy, the air combat scenes were quite realistic. <ref>The Israel Air Force puts in an unaccredited cameo role in the ''Iron Eagle'' series. All the aerial work was shot in Israel using IAF pilots and IAF F-16, [[IAI Kfir|Kfir]] and [[F-4 Phantom]] jets. The [[F-16]]s, of course, were painted in [[United States Air Force|USAF]] colors and the Kfirs and Phantoms were supposed to be the evil enemy MiGs. ... the flying is sublime. [http://www.flightsim.com/cgi/kds?$=main/review/dvd3.htm] </ref>

==Critical evaluation==

Despite being panned by the critics, ''Iron Eagle'' contains many iconic themes and ethical lessons for young men. Patriotism, love of father, respect for people of other races, honor, gratitude, loyalty, initiative, perseverance & determination, bravery, teamwork.
