RUSH: We have a montage here, protesters whining about what they want.<\/p>\n

PROTESTOR: I\u2019ve been teaching for over 25 years and I deserve respect for what I do, and I don\u2019t deserve to have my rights taken away.<\/p>\n

PROTESTOR: Walker wants to take away my rights and everybody else\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n

PROTESTOR: We\u2019re making history. We\u2019re making change.<\/p>\n

PROTESTOR: If necessary.<\/line> <\/line>PROTESTOR: You betcha.<\/line><\/p>\n

PROTESTOR: It\u2019s necessary.<\/p>\n

PROTESTOR: (slurring) This is like the sixties all over again!<\/p>\n

TEACHER: I think we\u2019ve lost the sense of democracy. I feel like what people in Egypt are fighting for right now, that\u2019s exactly what I feel like I\u2019m fighting for right now.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What an absolute idiot. It\u2019s a crying shame that this glittering jewel of colossal ignorance is teaching students. Comparing this to Egypt? ‘I feel like that\u2019s exactly what I\u2019m fighting right now.\u2019 What was Egypt even about? Do you even know, ma\u2019am? Bottom line, it\u2019s not about what they want. We all ‘want\u2019 things. Very few of us run around demanding that somebody give us everything we want! Most of us have more class, most of us have more understanding, most of us are more mature than to run around whining (sobbing), ‘This is what we want! (sobbing) I want my dignity! I want my respect, and I want my benefits (sniffle), I want my health care!\u2019 Well, go earn it! It\u2019s not about what you want. In your case, it\u2019s about what can be afforded. They\u2019re trying to make themselves out to be oppressed. You\u2019re not in Egypt. You\u2019re a bunch of people who feel entitled to be freeloaders.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Erica in Benzonia, Michigan, you\u2019re up first on Open Line Friday. Nice to have you with us. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hiya! Good afternoon, Rush. Thank you for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I am an elementary teacher myself, and I think what the teachers in Wisconsin are doing is deplorable. I myself in Michigan can\u2019t find a job because I have a master\u2019s degree equaling too much money. They can hire two newbies for one of me. But off of that, here they are walking off the job; teaching their students that it\u2019s acceptable to just call in sick if you don\u2019t like what\u2019s going on. No, no, no! So I think that it\u2019s just… It blows my mind that they\u2019re even considering and tolerating the actions of these immature teachers in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let\u2019s put one thing to rest right now, and that is: The last people they care about are the children. The last people they care about are the kids. The last thing they teach about is education. This is not about students. This is not about education. This is not about teaching. This is not about learning. This is about themselves.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s narcissistic.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It is narcissistic. It\u2019s also hypocritical. These people have been getting by for years on the notion that they are devoted, that they are sacrificing, that they are subordinating themselves to the lofty ideals of the children and their education and so forth — and it isn\u2019t about that at all. It is about them. The children are just pawns. They\u2019re just pawns, as so many of the so-called ‘little guys\u2019 the Democrats are trying to help, they\u2019re just pawns in the game of how these people take care of themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
