I listen to you every day you are great

Just a real pleasure seeing you on The Bulls and Bears this morning. You MORE than held your own with the panel.

I love your show

From Ottawa (Canada) I caught your station night time AM Band (not steady, it comes and goes). I could hear some of your comments. Very interesting show. Keep up the good job.

A big surprise ! I thought you were full of flesh.... like a McDo Mom.
I imagine you a heavy woman, I did not expect to see you so beautiful and sexy.

Anyway, Happy New Year, from Canada.
We have a lot of snow and it is very cold and hearing your voice around 10 pm bring some warm.

BONNE ANNEE ET HEUREUSE ANNEE 2009

Best Regards from an admirer

Hello Leslie,

My name is Brian, I am a 22-year-old Journalism/Pre-Law student at the University of Arizona. I've been listening to your show, today, for the first time. I like the topic, the man who was required to cover his shirt before getting on the plane because the arabic writing made people "uncomfortable." I've been trying to call in to comment on this. First, I want you to know I would not be uncomfortable at all. I like seeing people who express themselves and do it boldly. I havn't heard you mention the term though I'm sure your familiar, this WAS prior restraint and obviously the courts agreed. I think the larger picture, and I want to know if you agree, is what I've been seeing among my generation: the willingness to do anything to self censor anyone who seems "offensive" "creepy" "awkward" "rude" "difficult" etc. I'd like to tell you a story about what happened, and made national news, on the UofA campus when the student body president and his student council attempted to silence the student paper for something that was misunderstood as racist, but was a "mistake" and at that, one that anyone who researched the issue realized was not racist in the least. I've been covering and documenting the progress of students reactions all semester and I am very disturbed and worried for our country's future if my peers, the ones who want to run this country, think its ok to censor people just because others react uncomfortably. Especially when they are misinformed. I will be a lawyer one day, perhaps con law or media law. Please feel free to contact me.

Thanks

i love your show, you're the best host around.
i admire the fact that you allow everyone to voice their opinions, and you don't screen your calls, like many others, thats the mark of a great host, when you can handle anything.

keep up the good work

i'm sick of george w bush, and his legacy project, he's hired people to put a positive spin, on his presidential legacy, this is like totaling you'r car and putting nail polish on the scratches.
he's still president, he should be, maybe looking for binladen, working on fixing social security, which is the only area not to be bailed out that should be.

bush is selfish, and only cares about himself, this comment, that, "we haven't been attacked again", is absurd, america should,ve prevented 9/11, the administration had, ample warning, this comment, is like, someone's house getting robbed, despite, the police warning the citizens, of a similiar attacks in the area, and then 7 years years later, while you're house sitting, you say, "at least we haven't been robbed again, while i,ve been house sitting"
your show rocks.

Hi Leslie, I heard you on the radio and I heard your opinion about the conflict between the Palestinians and Isrealis and I wanted to tell you that I never heard a radio talk show host so so honest and fair in these matters like you I hope that there will be more fair people like you on the radio so people understand the reality of this conflict.

Hello Leslie from Leslie in Montreal, I picked up your show a few days ago on 1520 am It faded in and out but I enjoyed your spunk. Hope to hear you some more

Hey Leslie,

First off, let me say I respect you for what you do, I respect the stances you hold and I believe you do have the best interests of the country in mind in all you do. Also I respect anyone who can entertain themselves as well as their Peoples for the amount of time that you do.

I don't know if you remember my call at all, but it was back sometime in November, I believe. The topic of the night was about the irresponsible gun owning father, that let his young son fire a fully automatic uzi. The boy shot himself and was killed. That night I had been listening in to your show, and I heard you asking why any of us would need a "semi-automatic" weapon. This immediately struck me as being a little odd because semi automatic weapons include almost all handguns (if you include revolvers) and many rifles/shotguns. You also talked about how the 2nd Amendment stated that a militia was needed for the defense of freedom against foreign enemies, and enemies within our borders, but currently with the armed forces, a militia is no longer necessary. I called, hoping to be able to get my thoughts across in the time frames you have allotted between commercials. I learned during our discussion, that you were somewhat "unknowledgeable" in the field of firearms, so there was somewhat of a misunderstanding right off the bat.
I don't know why, but that call popped into my head recently and I felt I needed to try and email you my thoughts that I feel weren't presented in the way they should have been.

I need you to know, I am not a radical. I don't own a gas mask (something you asked if I had), and I don't belong to a state militia, but I do believe that there are certain rights that we need to protect to preserve our own freedoms. My argument stems from the fact that aside from the leverage held by holders of U.S. currency (which is hanging on by a thread), our right to bear arms is the only real force we would have to protect ourselves from this government or any other threat for that matter. Less than one percent of crimes in this country are conducted using assault style weapons. An even smaller percentage than that involve Class III weapons (which are stamped and registered by the ATF. Weapons that fall under this category are fully automatic rifles and pistols, short barrel rifles and shotguns, and certain "legal" types of explosive devices). Most crimes are carried out by criminals using cheap and unregulated handguns. The reason I say this is because I get the impression from you that you do not see the need for anyone to own weapons like these.

The problem with that view, is that you aren't realizing that the vast majority of gun owners are law abiding citizens. I do believe it is the duty of every single gun owner to be responsible with their firearms, because these things are meant to take lives, but nonetheless, I strongly agree that the constitutional right to bear arms is a foundational right of a law abiding citizens of this country. "All the government has to do is press a button, and they'll drop chemical bombs on us if they have to. Let's be honest, what are a bunch of people with handguns in their sock drawers going to do against that?"..This is a quote from you on the night we spoke (from the best of my memory). Leslie, with all due respect, wouldn't that give the law abiding citizens of this country more reason to be allowed to have some of the best weaponry available to the public? And if you honestly believe that hundreds of thousands if not millions of people (including many active members of our current military) wouldn't take up arms (God forbid) in a situation like this to salvage what might be left of this country, I must disagree with you. Many people will not just crawl up into a ball in a corner somewhere.

You also said we "used to" have a milita back in 1776, to fight the Red Coats at Lexington and Concord. You then went on to say that the militia now is the United States Armed Forces. That statement couldn't be further from the truth. The government used and called on State Militias all the way into the Civil War (for both sides). The use of State Militias by the government has diminished (due to the development of the superior fighting force known as the US Armed Forces), but that doesn't mean state wide militias ever disappeared. Some might say that the National Guard is a state milita, but the constitutional milita was to not be active during times of peace. Also, the national guard is so linked to the US Army that there is no discernment between the two. The National Guard is also not controlled, funded or organized by the state, but by the US government. Current state militia's are under the control of the Governor of that state. Members reside in that state and operate under the order of their Governor. They are totally self sufficient and unpaid.

Please do not use the 2nd Amendment as a way to proctect the rights of hunters and hunters alone (who's high powered rifles are more powerful than "assault weapons" or handguns). That was in no way the purpose of the 2nd Amendment, and no where in the constitution does it say anything about hunting. It was written very clearly that the right to bear arms was most importantly for defense of the individual against government. Also keep in mind, that all firearms were developed out of necessity in war. At one point all of these weapons were "assault weapons", and one is no less lethal than the other.

Leslie, I mean no disrespect to you or your views. I appreciate the time you take to talk about government, politics, and social issues. I'm glad that there are people like you talking about these things. God Bless, thanks for reading this and take care.

Greetings Leslie

Becuase of the hours I work, I cant always listen to your program.

You have CLASS BIG TIME.

Leslie, I just listened to your show tonight on April 1, 2009 and I was disturbed that you didn't call Andrew, the conservative on his repeated statements that Obama lied. He said that Obama said "No earmarks" when in fact Obama talked about reducing earmarks, which were fewer in this last budget that was completed before he took office! Also, it was John McCain who said he would veto any budget which contained earmarks, and now tries to attribute that to Obama. He never said he would veto earmarks, but committed to reducing them and perhaps eliminating as many as possible. So, I wish you had straightened Andrew out on that point. If he calls back, please do that. I enjoy your show whenever I get a chance to hear it.
