TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Today was judgement day, and it was decided:
I will be doing a 15 minute presentation on the Constitution Party.

I am now taking requests.
Do I act sarcastic and critical?
Do I pretend to support them (my teacher is fairly blatantly liberal, and I'm doing horribly in this class)?
Magic trick (I got a 76 on the last one about Military Dictatorships; I need to up the WOW! FactoR!!!!1

I think you should shoot for DH7: Improve the Argument, then Refute Its Central Point. Black Belt Bayesian writes: "If you're interested in being on the right side of disputes, you will refute your opponents' arguments. But if you're interested in producing truth, you will fix your opponents' arguments for them. To win, you must fight not only the creature you encounter; you [also] must fight the most horrible thing that can be constructed from its corpse."

So, describe the CP without snark, point out some flaws, improve the party model, then tear that down.  If you frame it right, it'll be a roller coaster of appearances: first you're neutral, then you're against it, then you seem to be supporting it, and finally, you knock the house of cards to the ground and set it on fire.
