Recently, in an overseas concert, the Dixie Chicks told their audience that they were ashamed that Bush was from Texas. In the backlash that has followed, they insisted that the statement was made because they have been so overcome by the anti-Americanism overseas. However, they said it is their right as Americans to voice their opinions. In light of this, I guess it wasn't really the anti-Americanism overseas, but the anti-Americanism within their own hearts that they felt they had a right to voice.
Fortunately in America, I am not forced to buy the CDs of a particular group. So I will exercise my freedom to listen to Americans rather than anti-Americans. I will throw away every Dixie Chick CD in my possession and buy no more. Moreover, as a Texan I must say I am ashamed that the Dixie Chicks are from Texas.

Again, it is sad to see and hear yet another "celebrity" announcing that they are ashamed of their President of their Unites States. I just wish we would get over and get back so that these "celebrities" would quit using all of these Grammy, Emmy, own concert "stages" to provide their political saitre. |

I wonder if they thought yet about the tendency of dixie to not go for liberal BS? Especially country music fans. I hope their sales drop.
I'm going to buy the Darryl Worley CD Have you Forgotten (featured on Fox in the morning and Hannity and the Crypt Keeper)when it comes out - a very get Saddam pro America kind of song.
