Dixie Chicks Snub Pres Bush

[1985_BMW318i]

Well the lead singer for the Dixie Chicks snubbed President Bush. Of course now she apologizes but its to late. Tonight all over Texas as well as alot of the US country music fans have destroyed their CD's. See while she can speak her mind she has lost tons of devoted fans. I happily burned the CD's I had of theirs as well as called into my local radio station who will no longer play their music. God I love democracy. Speak your voice but when you piss off the majority here in the US you get it back in your face. I wonder how her fellow band members feel about the bitch now

Did you remember to burn some books as well?Seriously, that is just plain ridiculous.Either the music is worth listening to,or it is not.The same critera apply to musicians as to plumbers or any other tradespeople..If you are only prepared to listen to artists who are of the same political persuasion as yourself,you are going to end up with a very,very,narrow music collection.

Well Tar we both have our view points however yours is from a long distance. You don't live here in the US nor do you have any idea of what is really felt here at home. You read a few newspapers or online sources which can be very biased. Unless you are actually here to talk to people then you don't know how we feel. Different opinions are fine but lets base them on something other then what can only be read.

Please, don't pretend that every American wants a war as badly as you seem to.I spend enough time talking to my American friends to know that that simply isn't the case.I read a few papers,and a few online sources,and I talk to a lot of people.Some are from America,some are from Britain,some are from New Zealand,some are from Australia.

Can you honestly say that you actually read a balanced mix of media,or do you treat your media as you treat your music,and only listen to that which doesn't offend your precious blind patriotism?

Well said. Land of the free indeed. Don't jump on the bandwagon of flag waving BS and you're a communist and a traitor.

So burn some of your dixie chicks CDs if it makes you feel good.... but a mr T said, go burn some books while you're at it... maybe some witches too....... My god! Maybe she's a witch!

HEY NOW lets all remember that the dixie chicks sucked to start with. as for what she said. i totaly support her right to say what she did and people shouldnt stop liking the music for it. i may not agree with her views but i will uphold her rights. only in the united states do people uphold ones rights while they would never agree with what they believe. if you are a neo nazi and want to say sumthin in a demonstration you have that right and the police will defend you. and i defend their right to say what they feel no matter how much i disagree with it...

I don't want war. But to be honest Taranaki unless you are an American you don't know what it's like to live here. Just like I don't know what it's like to live in another country. As far as the Dixie Chicks thier like the friggin Britney Spears of country music. No 1 cares to hear what Britney's foriegn policy is just like no 1 cares about what the Dixie chicks is. America is tired of hearing no talent hacks thinking they got Phd's in poly sci.
If you say no one can disagree with the President here your wrong. On channels like CNN/MSNBC for every expert who says Bush is right and we need to goto war, there is one saying he is wrong and we don't need to goto war.
You see the thing about the Dixie chicks and cause you don't live here you don't see all the underlying issues. You don't understand the differences between people from Texas and say people from Mass. It's not your fault you can only make an opinion on what you hear and read.

Sorry I haven't been watching the news or reading the newspaper lately. Busy trying to catch up with school work after being sick for about a week with a flu. But does anyone know what the lead singer of the Dixie Chicks said. I am guessing its about the issue of going to war.

Hmmm...it gets worse everyday.

What exactly did she do?

Sometimes it pays to look at situations from an outside perspective.Frankly,the amount of blind patriotism and naked aggression that has been orchestrated to justify this invasion is disgusting.How does the quote go?"you can fool some of the people all of the time,and all of the people some of the time.........."

Third-party perspective is usefull when that party is made aware to all the facts as in a situation like arbitration. But to pass judgement on limited information is rather irresponsible. I read how France made a nice oil deal with Iraq. Now is it fair for me to assume the only reason France is saying no to this war is cause they don't want to lose thier oil deal. Australia's made a deal with Iraq, wheat for oil, When their Prime Minister made and albiet quiet agreement with Bush to support him in the war agianst Iraq. When the Australian people found out about this and the people/government went nuts about it. Should I assume the Australian people only car about themselves and thier oil issues. I could so that the amount of pure cowardness and self-serving interest in the rest of the world is pathetic. I'm not saying that but I could if I was not informed of the whole situation.

O.K......So there's no need for the average American to judge Saddam until they've walked a mile in his shoes,Or for me to judge George Bush until I've walked a mile in his shoes....I should I'magine it would be most uncomfortable for me to walk a mile in George's shoes, he seems a lot smaller than me,and yet still he is way too big for his boots.

They sucked before, and now they suck twice as bad.
