It's a beautiful day - Weighed in the balance and found wanting

    Well, the bible tells us about a man
    Who ruled Babylon and all its land.
    Around the city, he built a wall
    And declared that Babylon would never fall.

    He had concubines and wives,
    He called his Babylon "Paradise."
    On his throne he drank and ate,
    but for Belshazar it was gettin' late.
    For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting,
    His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand.
    He was weighed in the balance and found wanting,
    His houses were built upon the sand.

    Well, the people feasted and drank their wine
    And praised the false gods of his time.
    All holy things they scorned and mocked,
    But suddenly all their mocking stopped.
    For on the wall, there appeared a hand,
    Nothin' else, there was no man.
    In blood the hand began to write,
    And Belshazar couldn't hide his fright.

    For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting,
    His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand.
    He was weighed in the balance and found wanting,
    His houses were built upon the sand.

    Well, no one around could understand
    What was written by the mystic hand.
    Belshazar tried, but couldn't find
    A man who could give him peace of mind.
    But Daniel, the prophet, a man of God,
    He saw the writing on the wall in blood.
    Belshazar asked him what it said,
    And Daniel turned to the wall and read:

    "My friend, you're weighed in the balance and found wanting,
    Your kingdom is divided, it can't stand.
    You're weighed in the balance and found wanting,
    Your houses are built upon the sand." Johnny Cash






    This is not so much because Rs won but because traitorous anti constitutional policies were weighed and found wanting.

    I suspect the dems and the establishment rs have not yet fully learned their lesson.
    But, I think that the tax payer's and others who love American have woken up and may be ready for more action.

    9:58 am - Top 10 Media Narratives That Died Last Night


    The GOP tidal wave that hit last night murdered a number of MSM narratives, here are the top 10:

    1. "The GOP is doomed if they don't cave on gun control" - Sell-out Joe Scarborough

    2. The GOP is doomed if they don't cave on amnesty.

    3. The GOP is doomed if they don't give in to Obama.

    4. The GOP can't expand the map.

    5. The GOP is waging a war on women.

    6. ObamaCare is no longer a winning issue for the GOP

    7. Outside corporate money in politics is a bad thing (unless its corporate media and union money spent to boost Democrats)

    8. The government shutdown will doom the GOP.

    9. But-but-but the do-nothing Congress is more unpopular than Our Precious Obama

    10. Gridlock is a bad thing.

    "But-but-but the do-nothing Congress is more unpopular than Our Precious Obama"

    Exit polling indicates that is still true.

    true

    that is because 40 or 50 percent of the country is not represented by democrats or establishment republicans.
    if you do the venn diagrams you can see that.


    you have 15-20% progressives and fringe groups and a bunch of takers and miscreants who are well represented in congress.

    you have a few establishment type republicans feeders at the govt trough and independents maybe 10 to 15%. who are well respresented by Congress in part because they own them.

    and you have about 50 to 60 percent percent tax payers and retirees and those with aspirations for their children. This group is otherwise known as educated people... but not elites.and successful people in the private sector.

    The left promotes class warfare and subgroup warfare to cleave off some of that group.

    So far Ted Cruz has done a masterful job of representing us

  5. So far Ted Cruz has done a masterful job of representing us

    Yes, of course he has. He is an idiot also.

    "Beaumont, TX (CNN) – Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, questions whether global warming is real, arguing that the "data are not supporting what the advocates are arguing."

    There is huge divergence between the data and warmist claims of calamity. Certainly there is insufficient hard data to justify destroying the world economy.

    He isn't saying that GW isn't real, he is questioning the lack of scientific data that supports the GW assertion.

    100% exactly.

     

  8. Yes, exactly. He is an idiot.

    Well there would be one way to determine whether the idiot is you or Cruz.

    You should provide a link to the data that shows man made CO2 causes warming.
    If you don't do it it shows you to be a hack.

    By the way stop polluting our non co2 threads.
     
  10. data that shows man made CO2 causes warming.

    OK idiot. Here you go. Maybe you will understand it this time. Try.
