Brilliant post, lad. Brilliant.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Much appreciated.
Excellent post, many good points. Thank you.
They probably wanted the overtime.
Same story after Dan’s Bake Sale
Conservatives are Conservative
We don’t need Government to Regulate or Clean up after us

Oh I am so STEALING this RANT! (Thank You)

*****”I believe libs’ twisted environmentalism is due to their own alienation from nature. It also stems from their spiritual helplessness. Extreme liberalism is rebellion against death, which is really rebellion against life as it is.
Why do they become vegetarians? Not because they think it’s healthier—it’s to avoid the anxiety that comes from eating meat—acceptance of death. Why are they absurdly anti-war? Same reason.
They flock to urban centers where people are supreme, and where nature has been subdued or eliminated. Seems odd for environmentalists, but it isn’t. The city is the greatest example of man’s attempt to recreate the world, recreate the environment, and to CONTROL the world and the environment. It’s a perfect place for people who can’t accept life as it is.
Meanwhile, those who live out “in the country” are far less squeamish about the realities of life, because even in merely ex-urban areas, one can observe nature in action, and it’s hard to miss the implications.
I watch the nervous chipmunk sneaking around. I like chipmunks. My wife loves ‘em. They are cute. But in this world, they are also prey, and must fear for their lives at all times. I observe the violent horror show that is the average fishing hole. A little frog hops across some lily pads. If he falls into the water in the wrong spot, or just lands on the wrong pad, he’ll find himself in a bass’s belly before he has time to react. Perch eat smaller perch. Pickeral eat damn near anything. Frogs eat other frogs. It’s a beautiful pond, a wonderful “ecosystem”, but it’s also a nasty, monstrous place.
Nature is violent. It’s beautiful, too. The country person is more in tune with the true nature of this world. The libs want the beauty without the teeth that come with it. So they live in concrete cities, where “parks” represent nature. They rebel against nature. They cry for “peace”, as if that is something this world has ever offered. They simply can’t accept life as it is. I think the word is neurotic.
sorry for the long rant. have a nice sunday morning.” *****
Brilliant post, lad. Brilliant.
I’m sending this to every fascist dork I know: “The Government will clean it up.”
Oh, SUURREE! They just did that to PISS the libs off! /s
It is a Daily Mail photo. In post #37 I provided a link to the article that used the image.
More on the Inauguration Day trash blizzard:
Obama’s 100 Tons of Trash Left While Everyone Celebrated Inauguration Day
The last link, dated Jan. 22, 2009, credits Drudge with the photo I used. If Drudge had run a shopped photo of the Inauguration, somebody surely would have noticed.
You're right. AP evidently picked it up from the Daily Mail.
Actually I think it is the other way around, since the photo is marked "AP" (which I missed) but in any event it is unlikely to be a photoshop.
Thanks for the ping!
LOL, bummer about your glasses. Were you impressed with the rally? Care to estimate the crowd size?
Thanks for the ping, IT. I have already posted the Breitbart report on spotlessness on Facebook.
;^)
I wasn’t able to attend the 8/28 rally, but my experience on 9/12 and 11/5 was similar. The national mall was left very, very clean. On 9/12 in particular, when the crowd was huge, trash bins lacked the capacity to hold all the trash. Conservative citizens did the best they could. Excess trash was placed alongside the bins, in bags when bags could be found, and weighed down with heavier items to prevent them from blowing around. People treated the mall as they would their own back yards. It was a great feeling being part of such a decent group of people.
Well, just wow. Well said. Actually, beautifully said.
Thanks for the ping.
Lots of conservatives at the rally - someone might have turned them in to 'lost and found'... check it out. Here's a poem you might enjoy:
A LIFE OF ERRANDS
If You Are Lucky
You Will Grow Old
And Live
A Life Of Errands.
You Will Discern
What People Need
And Provide It
Before They Ask.
You Will Drive Your Car
Here And There
Delivering And Fetching
And Neither The Traffic
Nor The Weather
Will Bother You
In The Least.
You Will Whip Down The 405
To San Diego
To Pick Up An Acorn
For Someone's Proverb
And So On And So Forth.
In Spite Of The Ache
In Your Heart
About The Girl You
Never Found
And The Fact That
After Years Of
Spiritual Rigor You Did Not Manage
To Enlighten Yourself
A Certain Cheerfulness
Will Begin To
Arise Out Of Your Crushed
Hopes And Intentions.
How Thirstily
You Embrace Your Next Commission:
To Sift Through The Sunglasses
At A Lost And Found
In Las Vegas
Just A Few Hours
Across The Desert.
Your Hair Is White
You Have Breasts
And A Gut
Over Your Belt
You Are No Longer A Boy,
Or Even A Man
But A Sense Of Gratitude
Enlivens Every Move You Make.
Yes, Sir, These Are The
Very Gold-Rimmed Pair
She Left In The Plastic Tray
Beside The Dollar Slot Machines.
No, Sir, I Am Not Lying.
