Teabaggers: Commie Socialist Pinko Trash collection plot in Arizona

[marmar]

A Valley community's decision to change the way trash is picked up provided further proof of how deeply the nation's anti-government, "tea party"-fueled sentiment is running.

A decision by the Fountain Hills Town Council to hire a single trash hauler and begin a curbside recycling program has been met with angry protests from residents who accuse town leaders of overstepping their bounds and taking a leap toward socialism.

Some even likened it to "Obamacare" for garbage, calling it "trashcare."

An Arizona website affiliated with the Alexandria, Va.,-based Campaign for Liberty, azc4l.com, features an intimidating, cigar-chomping man standing in front of the town's famous fountain next to a story about the issue.

And last week, a flier was circulated around Fountain Hills with an ominous icon and the phrase, "The Hills Will Have Eyes," and that claimed the "Fountain Hills Green Police" checked residents' garbage and recyclables, and as a result, "you are wanted for questioning. ...........(more)

4. It was about 15 years ago we started the curbside recycling here.

One of the biggest dumb asses I know got bent over it. He was a big enough ass to have been going around with that Clinton Chronicles tape a few years before, trying to get everyone to watch it.
He said, "I don't have time to pick through my garbage." He was pretending he was being forced to recycle somehow. All they did was give us the bins and send the trucks around. This guy will be squalling like a little bed wetting mama's boy if they raise local taxes to pay for a new landfill.

7. Trotsky was big on recycling. Little known fact.

Marx, Engels...yep, recyclers.


Stalin was a HUGE fan. Had a seven-year plan just to implement recycling.


Don't even get me started about Lenin.

Guy was a fanatic about it.






Hitler, not so much.

10. The SS used to seize empty bottles and cans from concentration camp internees...

...and return them for the deposit.

Families are still suing over that.

8. You media ultra-consumers are being manipulated again. Most

communities in the Phoenix metro have been recycling for years, including my very conservative senior one. Have you ever heard of the old fashioned saying: "taking it with a grain of salt"?

11. Monopolies suck...why are they forcing 4 providers out of business in their area?

Somebody getting paid?

12. Because it's only a town of 25,000?

5 different contractors is probably inefficient. Especially if they're going to do a professional job. It's not a job you want supervised by Joe from up the road just because he's got a large truck.
