You\u2019re next on Open Line Friday. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi. Good morning. Thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I just first want to say that, I, years ago, thought I had the answer. I thought possibly the Democrats might even have the answer, though your show woke me up. I started listening to you and other conservative radio hosts, and I have been shown down the path by you guys. I wanted to talk about what has happened in Olympia when our troops have been coming back. This happened just last night and a few days ago.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Is this where the anti-war groups protested the returning troops and equipment?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And they poured concrete over the railroad tracks?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: They poured, yeah, wet concrete on the tracks. They were throwing objects in front of the moving convoy, laying down in front of the convoy, and even some cockeyed councilman from the city of Olympia is criticizing Olympia Police Department and the state patrol for their handling of these people who are trying to delay a military convoy. That convoy belongs to you and me. I want those people and that equipment back at Fort Lewis where they belong.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right, they were coming home. They\u2019re not even going <emphasize>to <\/emphasize>war.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: First they protested them last year when they were leaving, and now they don\u2019t want them to come back! You know, it sounds like Hillary. Make up your mind. Do you want \u2019em to go or do you want \u2019em to stay, you know? Do you want them to come back home or not?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No. You\u2019re looking at these people in the wrong way. You\u2019re looking at irrational people, and you\u2019re trying to define them and understand them in a rational sense, and that\u2019s not possible. Irrationality to the degree these people out in Olympia, Washington, have displayed &#8212; and the anti-war movement is made up of quite a few of these types. Their lives are miserable. They want to get noticed. They feel left out of mainstream society. You know, everybody wants to have meaning in their lives, and everybody wants to &#8216;make a difference.\u2019 These poor people are just irrelevant to the functioning of this country, and they know it. So this is what they do to call attention to themselves at the end of the day, to make themselves feel like they stood up for something important, and to make themselves feel like they have courage, and to make themselves feel like they were brave &#8212; when, in fact, they\u2019re just glittering jewels of colossal ignorance who have no contribution of any substance to make at all. What really aggravated me about this when I heard about it, Terry, was that there aren\u2019t going to be any charges. The local prosecutor\u2019s out there not going to charge them with anything. These people poured wet concrete over train tracks! That has to be a crime in anybody\u2019s world, plus the other things that they did. You know, they say (new Castrati voice), &#8216;It\u2019s freedom of speech, Mr. Limbaugh! It\u2019s protests. It\u2019s what made America great: dissent, all that stuff,\u2019 yada, yada, yada. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Terry in Tacoma, Washington.
