OK, so this is the information being spread by my Political Ideologies professor about conservatism. It gets much worse, but this covers the just of it.
One quote directly from her lecture:
"The newer generation of neoconservatives, including Irving Krisol’s son William Kristol who is the editor of The Weekly Standard, were influential in shaping the foreign and defense policy during the Bush administration. They were instrumental in framing the Arab world as the new enemy of the West in the wake of the Cold War. This strategy is supported by an underlying belief that democracies need enemies to keep them morally fit, otherwise they become weak and lazy, and sink into selfishness and licentiousness. At the domestic level this new generation has campaigned for use of the state as an agent of moral education by establishing discriminatory policies against people’s who don’t demonstrate the correct virtues."
The whole lesson focused on how conservatives had no universal values, other than protecting the status-quo from change, we apparently want a strong utilitarian government that can enforce discriminatory social control and on and on.
How would you respond to this?

There's that missing option again: "Other". We can't deal with it. It is propaganda. And, setting the record straight isn't an option when the professor controls the medium (their classroom). This sort of thing is a societal cancer and it's metastasized because we ignored it, tried to deal with it, then tried to be respectful. None of it has worked. What can you and I do? Very little as individuals. Believe me. I've tried. I've written extensively in my blog and others. I've created stories to deliver stealth messages to the zombies of the left. I'm sad to say that I've been reviled for my efforts. Even members of my family won't tolerate the truth. First we have to educate ourselves. Find the roots of this "movement". Allow me to offer a starting point or two.

Winston Churchill was the greatest statesman of the 20th century, and one of the greatest in all of history. From a young age, Churchill understood the unique dangers of modern warfare, and he worked to respond to them. Though best known for his leadership during World War II, he was also a great defender of constitutionalism. A close study of Churchill’s words and deeds offers timeless lessons about the virtues, especially prudence, required...

I absolutely confronted my sociology Professor when he continually stated the women earn 77 cents to every dollar a man makes - openly and in front of the class I told him nopt only was he wrong, but that he was spreading false information, we had a heated discussion after class where he tried to tell me that whether he was right or wrong, I had no right to hijack his class, I reminded him that yes I do, I pay part of your salary, and your false information to these younger Kids has a lasting impact on how they perceive the world. i proceeded to print off the Consad report, which was an independant study contracted by the DOL, a number of economic and financial professionals of both Genders, the percentage of what degrees were being sought by gender and the market value of the degrees. took my 4 hours to gether this information, and the next day, I dropped them on his desk and told him, all this disputes and lays false your claim, I then looked at the rest of the class and told them, you can believe everything someone tells you, or you can inform yourself - what do you want to be , the sheep that goes along with everything, or a person with a mind capable of critically analysing and researching claims by idiots. I got a 3.9 in the class.

Its funny to read a description of conservatism when written by a liberal. It's hard to imagine where they even get such a skewed perspective, but boy do they preach on it!

College (and most of our K-12 system) is no longer about education but indoctrination. Your choice is to pursue a fair exchange of ideas, while risking your GPA or nodding your head like Dangerfield in Sam Kinison's class in the movie 'Back to School.'
Conservatives believe in individual freedom and responsibility, smaller government, which results in lower taxes and more freedom. We believe government borrows power from people to perform specific, limited duties, including protecting individual rights.
Liberals believe rights come from government and this requires a big government to grant and regulate rights. The believe in social justice, equality and that government is built to provide these through taxation, wealth re-distribution and providing for those unwilling and sometimes unable to provide for themselves. They believe Darwin was wrong and seek to promote the survival of the 'least fittest'.
But that is just my point of view. Good luck.
