Have you heard about DAMM? Drunks against mad mothers...
I guess we can look at it this way, all the jr. fascists will be in position when Obama’s Hitler clone is ready.
It is threads like this that make Free Republic members look dumb.
Nobody really seems to know anything about this guy or what he has done, but because Obama appointed him to something Freepers start attacking him and the organization he was part of.
Obama appointed Bush’s Secretary of Defense (Robert Gates) to be his SOD. Did Gates suddently turn into a flamming lefty liberal? No.
Most people on here aren’t old enough to remember, but there was a time when drunk driving (and its consequences) was no big deal. It was a traffic violation. If you killed someone while driving drunk, the fact that you were drunk was a mitigating circumstance in your favor. The court went easier on you if you were drunk and ran someone down, than if you were sober and ran someone down.
MADD pretty much by itself changed the attitude (and laws) about drunk driving in this country. And it was not an easy change to make. They also keep track of judges that want to go easy on drunk drivers, letting people know who they are (if only we could get a group to do that for judges that go easy on people that commit murder.)
Nothing about this makes them a left wing group. If anything, they are a right wing get tough on crime group.
If you think the drunk driving laws are too tough and blame MADD, sorry you won’t get any sympathy from me. You’re free to put your own life at risk all you want, but not to put my life at risk by driving drunk.
