Their environmental agenda has nothing to do with the environment at all.  It deals strictly with control.  Oh by the way, they would just say all of that trash was left by uncaring Republicans/Conservatives.

If such is the case, why did the folks attending Barack Obama's
inauguration on Tuesday treat our nation's capital like a toilet?

Because they are pigs, expecting someone else to clean up their filthy messes?   That sounds about right, on many levels.  I wonder how many muggings took place during Obama-Rama.

Anyone else notice what was absent from the huge expanse that was filled with millions and millions of people,according to the MSM? 

Trash Cans

You have hordes of people coming into a public area and you don't put out massive amount sof trash recepticles? I suppose this is the type of organization we can expect in the next 4 years.

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you."

How much trash was left after the 2 Bush inauguration events, or perhaps, more comparably, Reagan inauguration events?

How much trash would be expected normally for the given size of the crowd that attended the event?

Just curious...

This is an example of those immediate infrastrucure needs that the economic stimulus program can bring immediate relief to the american needs for employment.

An once we have mandatory volunteer marches to honor the Great Leader, we'll even have more garbage to pick up.

"If such is the case, why did the folks attending Barack Obama's inauguration on Tuesday treat our nation's capital like a toilet?"

...because of all the crap that has come out of there ?????

Liberals want to create a "nanny state" where the government takes care of all God's little children.  I guess they expect Mommy to pick up after them.

The Day The Earth Stood Still, ended with a carpet of lifeless 'civilization eating bugs' over vast tracts of land.

Obviously, the conservatives will be required to clean up that mess, left by liberals in the movie industry.

Most likely, the exhaust emissions from all that heavy equipment and trucks required to haul it off will cause more environmental damage than the movie did.

BUT HEY!!!  It wuz for a good cause, right?

Apparently, trash cans were removed for security reasons.  And pigs will be pigs.  Folks should take out what they brought in.  Isn't that the rule in national parks?

Practice, "Yes We Can . . . Pick Up Our Trash." 

I'm sure that even the Seagulls were awed by the amount of trash.

 Any Pledgers out there who pledged to clean up after themselves? Ashton, Demi, Beuller?

Liberals are accustomed to having others do their work for them.  Their attitude is, "Oh, this is someone else's job".  The attitude of entitlement was overflowing at the inaugural on Tuesday.  We all might as well get used to it.  On another note, salutes go to Newsbusters!  It appears the staff at Newsbusters kept up with all of the over-the-top biased reporting.  Thank you!

I remember Woodstock. All the "environmentalists", lovers of the earth, polluting the land and the water and then walking away from the mess, expecting someone else to clean it up. This was the beginning of modern "liberal" hypocrisy. Look at the pollution caused by this $200000000 "liberal" party on tuesday, while millions are out of work. Corporate jets and limos littering the scene. Plastic bottles and bags, crap everywhere. And the next day, like spoiled teens who'll never face reality, they go right back to spewing how they will "change the world". Modern "liberalism" is an ego-driven, self-centered, pathetic ideology which, ironically,  will  "change the world"--- by destroying it. 

NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"

They didn't clean up the Mall because everyone thought they were doing exactly what that slimy Sophist(3) up on the pulpit wanted them to do. Didn't y'all here the indoctrination chant of "TRASH WE CAN! TRASH WE CAN! " reverberating around the grounds of the Mall?

The ascendancy of the Sophist is complete. 

As many have said, "It's gonna get a whole lot worse before it gets any better."

If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; But if you really make them think, they'll hate you.

As a side note-

The mass of humanity overwhelmed the paltry amount of trash receptacles. Did Security keep the number down to a minimum? A number of the eco-conscious did pick up after themselves. The extra trash left behind the HUGE event was picked up by professional cleaning crews. It's not as if the conservatives were a cleaner bunch at Bush's 2005 Inauguration...just a lot fewer of them to clean up after. 

As an eyewitness to the event, it wasn't as bad as depicted and seemed to be VERY well attended. I was able to get around quite easily.

FYI-I noticed no sacred eggs were thrown at the President while he walked along the parade route. No need to clean up the Limo this time.

Odd Job

Back in 1992, I went to a conservative event sponsored by Rush Limbaugh called Dan's Bake Sale. Over 75,000 people showed up. But when everyone left, the area was virtually devoid of litter. In fact, most events I've been to that were related to conservatives always seemed to be cleaner.

 It's quite easy to figure out. Conservatives are typically more self-governing and disciplined, while liberals depend on government or other people to "take care of them", including, apparently, picking up the trash.

personal responsibilty - 0.

"part of what I'm hoping to introduce as the next president is a new ethic of responsibility" - [President] B. Obama

conservative grandmother always used to say "Nobody was ever so poor that they couldn't pick up their own yard." 

And have you ever seen the piles of refuse they leave lying around after an Earth Day event? Or how about after one of their touchy-feel-good "we are greener than you" concert events?

Remember, with these people, it is always "Do as we say, not a we do."

Funny thing, the same people who burn down their cities when things don't go their way, show similar responsibility on the national mall.  Of course, I'm a racist for making that observation. 

MSM = PR firm for the Democrat Party

This is typical of liberals in the media and those Democrats who inflate their importance and influance. When the Promisekeepers march happened in 1998 it was the first march in history that Filled the Mall (750,000 when full) OVERFLOWED the side street areas next to the mall and filled greater than a thrid of the elipse around the washington Monument. Now, the Liberals pushed the Million Man (Myth) March as having over a million men. It clearly did not. And when you look at the aerial photo's its clear. The Promise Keepers march was the largest in history. Later...there were even a lot of lies about the number of women who shoed up for the Abortion Rights march. The reason for the lying on this is clear...it means power of influance. If that many show up its meaningful so their numbers MUST be large or else their reason for the march is diminnished.

• October 4, 1997, a million men "stood in the gap" for GOD
• January 20, 2009, less than a million "stood in the trash" for their god...

Couple of answers: dirty hippies & people used to living in these kind of surroundings.  It they don't like what I write (the truth) then change.

From the hordes of 'give it to me for free, I deserve it' Obamites swooning over the big B.O. and his glorious ascension into the White House, how could you expect anything different?  Someone else will take care of their filth -- someone who needs to pay them pennance for their heretofore atrocious treatment by the heartless conservatives who claim the audacity to expect personal accountability.  As for the flag?  They have about as much use for it as Mr. Obama - a token for the sake of the media to be discarded when the cameras aren't looking.
