Just overheard on today's show (I paraphrase):

[b]I think all women should learn to shoot and some should carry a gun.  In some places they are allowed to, and I'm thinking about moving.[/b]

She WAS an anti.

What changed her mind?  Exposure.  Someone took her out for a training day at the range, and she not only found she enjoyed it, but found it a good idea for other people to know to do.  

Dr. Laura saw the value in shooting once she was exposed to it - directly.

My last question - in what does she hold her doctorate(s)?

This may surprise you, she's NOT a trained therapist, the's a Nutritionist! The Dr. is only there because she went to med school to become a damn Nutritionist.

sometimes i think this is the 2nd greatest place on earth.  and then some of you pull this shit.

you bitch that there aren't enough women into the shooting sports and firearms and then when someone (who by the way is in a position to open the eyes of millions of women to our side) changes her mind and joins our ranks, you piss and moan that she's too opinionated or you've got a problem with her degree and chosen course of work.  [rolleyes]

Yep, sad isn't it?  I'm for anyone who stresses the concept of personal responsibility in this age of "It's not my fault" bs.  She looked at the issue objectively and realized her previous anti-gun position was wrong.  Sounds like a success story to me!

I want to blow chunks every time I hear this woman's radio show trailers.

This statement on the otherhand, is a pleasant
surprise.

I agree,

I don't care what her degree is in.Lots of the stuff she talks about makes sense to me.She does advocate getting off the pitty-pot and moving on with your life instead of lying around blaming everyone else for your problems,kinda refreshing.I get tired of listening too her cause they're are so many dumb asses out there with stale,stupid questions.

I think its kind of a nice story that she could intelligently look at the gun issue and admit a change.I don't really see it that often in the media.Do you?

As I see it, the only problem she has is that bush.She needs to trim it.[:D]If you saw the pictures mentioned above you'd know what I was talking about.

Hey, there's room for both feelings here.

Kudos for her and her newly found stance on firearms....sounds great to me.

As for what I've heard from her regarding various other issues, I don't care for her at all. Self rightious crap in my opinion.

See, you don't have to like everything about everyone and still have a valid opinion. Class dismissed.

I actually listen too her. She does give good advice in alot of the situations she is presented. She advocates personal responsibility and common sense in a world where there is very little. I cant believe some of the things people call her about!!I just wanna punch them in the head!

Anybody that says she is a liberal is uninformed and shows it.  Pro family, pro gun, pro religion, pro personal responsibility, among other hallmarks of conservatism.

I hold Dr. Laura in similar high esteem with Ann Coulter.

With all the media liberals like Oprah, Sally Jessie, Ann Landers et al out there drooling liberal Bravo Sierra, having a female voice on our side is significant.

Soccer Moms aren't going to listen to Rush, G. Gordon, Savage etc, but they might get an innoculation of personal responsibility from Dr. Laura.

Edited to add I wish we could get Rush as strongly on our side.

Exactly!

Just because she is suddenly pro gun (and I'm glad she is, and talks about it), doesn't mean that she isn't an annoying whiny bitch.

Just hearing her voice to me is like nails down a chalkboard.

She IS staunchly conservative, but her doctorate is in Physiology. She's not even a real shrink, although she has counselled professionally.

As was said before, She does stand for What Many of Us hold dear. Has She always been this way? Probably not, but Who here can say that They had always thought, acted, lived, and said what was exactly correct, truthful, or just plain right?   Kind of "Let He who is without sin, cast the first stone!"(Now where have I herd that before??!) So, Maybe She wasn't always the best person, We all can change for the better, can't We? But, I'd say she's helping a lot more than the rest of the Crapshow hosts out there now.

I knew Dr. Laura in 1977-78.  I'll say this about her; she had the loveliest tush this side of the Alleghenies. Nice face too.
She sat in my lap once and I wasn't the same for a month.

I cant believe some of you people.  This woman was at one time a anti.  Then someone teaches her differently and she becomes one of us.  We, I know I do, spend allot of time trying to convert the anti's.  Why would you get all pissed off and call her names.  She just stated on a national radio program that she is for guns.  What do you want?  Some people are never happy and should just stay in their holes.  We are NEVER going to win with attitudes like that!

By the way, I heard the same statement on her show today.  I couldnt have been happier to hear someone on national radio say that!!!

there's no 'exactly!' to it.  i'm pretty sure there's no 'suddenly' to it either.

the point i was trying to make is that some of you will find anything [b]just for the sake of pissing on someone[/b] with little regard to anything else.  not to mention that every time you find something "wrong" with her, it sounds like your attempting to discredit or otherwise minimize her views on RKBA.  "yeah, well, she's this....." or "but she's still....."

my guess is you would have hated her thinking she was an anti (that being the only reason you'd give).  but when faced with the truth that such is not the case, you must suddenly come up with yet another reason to find fault with her, to find an excuse to hate her.

she doesn't whine, either.  all the times i've listened to her show, i've never heard her whine.  sure she complains about the choices people make and the state, but don't we do the exact same thing on this website?

as for her voice...if that's all you have to complain about, you're either a) a very shallow man, b) grasping for straws, or c) all of the above.

ARLady...
Let me tell [i]you[/i]  what [i]I[/i]  think, k....not the other way around, since you don't know me and have nothing better to grumble about than simply a guess you've made. Not real solid ground if the truth interests you.

Frankly, I never knew she had a position on the RKBA, one way or another. My opinions regarding her have little to do with that. I think it's great that there's a side of her that supports RKBA. I also think there's plenty about her that is god damn annoying.

I support the RKBA and applaud anyone who feels the same, however there are MANY components that make an individual up, and most have nothing to do with gun rights. Allow me to form an opinion regarding others, even if you don't share them....it's called freedom. Freedom to agree, freedom to disagree.

I know for some, leaping to the most negative conclusion is as natural as exhaling your next breath of air, but try to resist the temptation. While your busy assuming the worst, you happen to be the least in touch with what the truth actually is. Be a little less condescending, and you might afford yourself a more realistic view of things.

I like her position on gun rights.

I don't like her.

If you care to [i]know[/i]  why that is, feel free to ask. Otherwise, it's you who are grasping at straws.

Dr Laura can be irritating, but I usually agree with her. What I want to know is - Why do people call in to her show? Pick any topic you want. I can tell you what she thinks about it. I have never heard anyone call her show that 1) I did not know what she would say, 2) The caller had no clue what they should do in this situation, and 3) more importantly, the caller had no idea what Dr Laura would tell them to do.

Ok, maybe once or twice, but yeesh. Like I said, I usually agree with her, but anyone who calls her show needs help, because they are demonstrating some kind of desire to be slapped around - they must enjoy it.
