All over the nation we just witnesses many tea parties. Tea meaning, Taxed Enough Already. In my own hometown of Paducah, Ky we witnessed one such spectacle. In the end we must ask ourselves just what did this really prove? These protests on spending and running up debt. Did all this fire and anger not spread up a little too late??

The Kubler-Ross model, first introduced by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in her 1969 book "On Death and Dying", describes, in five discrete stages, a process by which people allegedly deal with grief and tragedy, especially when diagnosed with a terminal illness or catastrophic loss.
1) Denial:
"I feel fine."; "This can't be happening, not to me."
2) Anger:
"Why me? It's not fair!"; "How can this happen to me?"; "Who is to blame?"
3) Bargaining:
"Just let me live to see my children graduate."; "I'll do anything for a few more years."; "I will give my life savings if..."
4) Depression:
"I'm so sad, why bother with anything?"; ... What's the point?"; "Why go on?"
5) Acceptance:
"It's going to be okay."; "I can't fight it, I may as well prepare for it."

Yesterday in my hometown of Paducah, the Conservative Paxton Media Group organized a "Tea Party". While I did not attend because I was working I did get to listen to some of it on the radio. The culmination was my Congressman, Exxon Ed Whitfield giving a speech and taking the signatures back to Washington.
