"The entire country may disagree with me, but I don't understand the necessity for patriotism," Maines resumes, through gritted teeth. "Why do you have to be a patriot? About what? This land is our land? Why? You can like where you live and like your life, but as for loving the whole country… I don't see why people care about patriotism."

Maines digs deeper....

[Nachoman]

I look forward to the day they play roadhouses a la The Blues Brothers.

[NonLinear]

Dixie Chicks - Concert tickets - cheap!
Anybody?
Hello?

*crickets chirping*

[Tarheel]

You know, when you dig yourself a nice deep hole, in order to get out the first thing you must do is put down the shovel. Unfortunately, Ms. Maines never had a course in 'Basic Shovel Management'.

Unfortunately, Ms. Maines never had a course in 'Basic Shovel Management'.

Apparently from her old pictures, she used to think it was an eating utensil.

[Valpal1]

If Maines' manager had any sense, he'd only take the duct tape off her mouth to let her sing.

She's a spoiled brat.

There can be no rational explanation of how Maines's remark came to drive a red-hot poker into America's divided soul

What a dope. Days before a President is to launch a war, and this writer can't figure out why there was such a reaction to slamming him?

Read the whole article and the usual Brit snobbery is in full flower--there is a pervasive tone of "They used to be those common folk with bad hair and grease-filled diets, but now they make pretentions to PC liberal Manhattan social attitudes, so I guess they're ok" in the rather pointless article.

Sure there is - we give entertainers a platform to entertain us from, not to preach their sophomoric politics. If they abuse that "soapbox", we will take it away from them.

BTW Adam, the term "redneck" is a bigoted expression - you might as well have said "caused niggers to drive their caddies over her CDs".

[MarineBrat]

They jumped the shark years ago, crashing and burning into the tank. Now they've completed the shark's alimentary canal journey.

Even my wife wouldn't give them the time of day after this incredibly un-American statement. Why be patriotic, indeed? Her parents must have been very odd.

[Monterrosa-24]

The bad thing is that they are still making the big money and thus have extra money to throw around supporting pop Left causes and doing pro bono work for PETA. They still have influence with the "Women's channels" type crowd.

Of course they have cost themselves and their company millions of dollars but it does not have that much sting because they are still filthy rich.

I wish their recordings would really crash but looks like they are picking up the Left side of Folk Music.

These recent patriot remarks are more outrageous and spoiled bratish than any of their other idiotic comments.

[ltc8k6]

Ouch!

[Darkwolf377]

I just wonder what the heck they would have to talk about if not for their slam on Bush.

[Monterrosa-24]

You should have posted this in News instead of Chat. Yes, it is hardly news that the DCs are still commie zip wads but it is a serious subject. Over in News are articles like "Egg kills Hen".

[Monterrosa-24]

"I just wonder what the heck they would have to talk about if not for their slam on Bush."

Well, they also slam their fellow country music artists and they slam fans who are not loyal to Natalie's Leftist opinions. They slam those Americans who are not as "sophisticated" as they are.

[Huntress]

I look forward to the day they play roadhouses a la The Blues Brothers.

I think the Good Ole Boys would make short work of them.

[rockrr]

I agree with you Maines....I love most of the country - I just don't like you!

[sully777]

Ditsy Chits strike again

[Blind Eye Jones]

Actually, the chicks were thinking that the bad ole' wolf (Mr Bushy Tail) was sneaking around the hen house smacking his lips and would gobble them up real fast like... So they ran off to grama's house to record another album... but the ole' bad wolf was in fact Michael Moore, who ate grama and everything in the house, and was in bed waiting for the chicks to come home and roust... And when they got there the chicks said, "Grama what big eyes you have." And Micheal said, "All the better to see you with my dears." But there was a knock on the door and Cindy, the wicked witch who had been camped out front of a ginger bread house, said, "They are MINE!!! HEHEHE" But Micheal jumped out of bed and ate the witch, the chicks and just as he was thinking about eating the ginger bread house, the Three Bears (George, Luara and Donald) returned home and Donald said, "Somebody ate my porridge..." And he grabbed Michael Moore and threw him all the way to Iraq and a freedom fighter cut Michael's head off...

Translation of Maines, "I can understand liking what the country gives you, but why should anyone feel any obligation back to it?"
