You would think the park service workers (union folk) would see the difference & wake up.

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)
and reposting it

*****”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.” *****

Are you sure that photo was not photoshopped? I just could not believe it was a true photo....especially since it was so terrible. I am sure the grounds were trashed, just could not imagine it being that bad. Want to make sure we here on FR make sure our posts are completely honest. Thanks!

It is a Daily Mail photo. In post #37 I provided a link to the article that used the image.

It's an AP photo.

More on the Inauguration Day trash blizzard:

Obama’s 100 Tons of Trash Left While Everyone Celebrated Inauguration Day

The Trash Was Historic Too

A Trashy Inauguration

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.

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.

As I said on another post, this photo of the mall after the Obama inauguration symbolizes to me the direction and vision that this administration has for this country. A cold, dank world without hope. Pray for our nation.

I left my prescription glasses under a tree by the reflecting pond. That one is going to cost me a pretty penny.

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.

by Leonard Cohen...
