8. What is happening in Iraq/Afghanistan vindicated War protestors
I don't see this attitude as being defeatist. PROTESTING a mob won't help. We need to stay put and EDUCATE now more than ever. Yesterday I spoke to an elderly person (whom was a retired engineer) deeply concerned about Obama's healthcare plan. At the end of our conversation he was very happy to know that under his plan he would have more choices. He is a Republican that now believes why healthcare for all is important.

You don't picket ignorance you attack it full front by talking to people and answering questions when they are open to intelligent conversations.

People will forget teabaggers protests just the same way people forgot about war protestors (after they find out that they were wrong about the war and the war protestors right). Lets prove them wrong by educating those open to the possibilities.
