Question, in 1976 was (dwi) a misdemeanor,
or a simple traffic violation.? I know the
laws have changed concerning this just wanted
to know level of offense in 1976.
 
Not really sure, but heard on news it was Class 'D' misdemeanor, but I don't know what that means

The laws on OUI offenses on the books today are tougher than the laws were in the 1970s but even under the law passed in 1993 the incident was NOT a "criminal" offense since Bush was not under 21, was not resisting arrest, refusing to take a sobriety test, did not have a blood-alcohol level higher than .15 or speeding.[/quote]

The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crime. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."

MrBigglesworth:

GREAT link Thanks for posting. Anyone else notice Rush showing up on MSNBC, FOX, and yesterday, CNN?? Ghee, you'd think the media would finally pick up on how energized our base really is. Fox set a non-emergency (ie Gulf War) viewer ship the night Rush was on their show.

Anyway, that article was great and I sure hope this last line comes true:

"Rush is right. This carefully orchestrated Democrat plot to trap George W. has trapped the Democrats and they deserve it. "
