I have always had an affection for Dr. Laura. During my final years as a liberal in the late 90′s, I had a job where I was driving all day from stop to stop. As much as I love music as I drive, I became extremely bored with it after the first two hours on one of my routes. I turned to talk radio and Dr. Laura was on for three hours a day. As a liberal at the time, boy did she make my blood boil!? Which is why I believe people like Ann Coulter when they say that the best way to convince people is to A. make them laugh or B. enrage them! I love people who make my blood boil because it usually indicates that I’m about to really learn something. Dr. Laura was my blood-boiler.
In any case, I was reading her blog earlier and found a post that she had written shortly after the Virginia Tech Shootings. The entire passage was very moving but here is the last pargraph that really got my attention:
“I believe every household should have at least one person trained and certified to shoot a gun. I believe every young person between 18 and 20 years of age should be required to receive compulsory military training. Over 70 nations in the world require some level of compulsory military service on the part of their young citizens including countries such as Austria, Brazil, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Israel, Mexico, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland. Why shouldn’t the United States be as prepared as these countries? I believe we as Americans should be equipped mentally and physically to protect ourselves, our family, and our Country.”
Don’t forget, Dr. Laura holds black-belts in advanced levels of martial arts. I think she might be right on this one. Click here to read more.
