So We Teabagged, What Now?

It may be awkward at first. Staring into your country's eyes, trying not to think about the disgusting teabaggin' you just did to it. What now? Now that you have demonstrated your rage over taxation without representation, errr, I mean, losing an election. What was the purpose? What was the plan, past the act of teabaggin'?

Or is this, yet another, phony, astroturf act of organizing? Was this nothing more than a display for media? A desperate call for attention, like a teenager who gets a tattoo just so mommy and daddy notice him. A play, in the theatrical sense, to show the public that there is an angry, hurt, and hateful group of people that are ready to yell.

What I am trying to get at is this question: What is their plan?

Think back to 2004. We had just lost to President Bush, again. After four years of yelling, we had lost again. However, that time, we decided to get real. Liberals that had never taken a truly active role, put down their "Make Peace Not War" sign in exchange for a clipboard. Gov. Howard Dean called on us to help him create a 50-state strategy and we responded, laying the framework for President Obama's historic campaign. We realized that having a voice is not all that powerful, it is how you use that voice that counts.

Will the teabaggers realize that screaming about the things you disagree with is not nearly enough? I highly doubt it. The likes of Hannity and Santelli care far more for grandstanding than real organizing. Because, as we all know, conservatives have jobs (unlike liberals of course) so they have no time for protests and organizing.
