Ok, So I'm taking this sociology class with a SUPER left-wing professor. This guy hates republicans (as do I but for different reasons), but especially HATES conservatives and the Tea Party.
This guy dismisses principled conservatism as a cover-up for hatred and racism in white culture, and dismisses the Tea Party as a last ditch effort by whites to hold onto power. He literally blames all of the nation's problems on conservatives. Sometimes it feels like I'm taking Marxism 101.
I'm doing my final presentation on the Tea Party as a 'deviant' group. I've talked to my prof before about this topic privately (without revealing to him my political views) and he was impressed and particularly interested when I informed him that the Tea Party tent consisted of both libertarians (i mentioned Ron Paul) and neo-conservatives (i mentioned Sarah Palin-who he LOVES to bash), and when I told him that the neo-conservatives only jumped on board following Obama's win.
I want to take advantage of my 10 minute presentation in front of the class and dispute 90% of the bullshit he has been pounding into my sheeple classmates 3 hours per day for the last month (J-Term Class). Maybe try to paint Sarah Palin's neoconservatives as the hate/war mongers and Ron Paul's libertarians as primarily young principled people who legitimately value individual freedom and capitalism, along with the logic behind it and how it works.
If I can paint the neoconservatives as his stereotypical view of a racist Tea-Partier, and paint Paul's tent as the good guys, then I can still educate the class about Ron Paul and his ideas while appealing to the prof so i don't fail his class.
Any ideas? Youtube videos I can show the class?
I especially need to find some research/statistics fair to the liberty movement (sociologists seem to universally hate conservatives)
