Natalie Maines, lead singer of The Dixie Chicks, said at a recent London concert, "Just so you know, we're ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas."

Since that comment, the Chicks have released a statement on their official web site. In that statement, Maines said, in part:

"I feel the President is ignoring the opinions of many in the U.S. and alienating the rest of the world. My comments were made in frustration, and one of the privileges of being an American is you are free to voice your own point of view."

Maines said (in the middle of a concert) "We just want y'all to know we are ashamed of Bush and ashamed he is from Texas."

They're skanks and their time atop the charts is going to come to an abrupt end.

Download Clint Black's new song FREE

http://www.clintblack.com

"I RAQ AND I ROLL"

YOU CAN WAVE YOUR SIGNS IN PROTEST
AGAINST AMERICA TAKING STANDS
THE STANDS AMERICA'S TAKEN
ARE THE REASON THAT YOU CAN

IF EVERYONE WOULD GO FOR PEACE
THERE'D BE NO NEED FOR WAR
BUT WE CAN'T IGNORE THE DEVIL
HE'LL KEEP COMING BACK FOR MORE

SOME SEE THIS IN BLACK AND WHITE
OTHERS ONLY GRAY
BUT WE'RE NOT BEGGING FOR A FIGHT
NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY

WE'VE GOT THE RESOLUTION
THAT SHOULD PUT 'EM ALL TO SHAME
BUT IT'S A DIFFERENT KIND OF DEADLINE
WHEN I'M CALLED IN THE GAME

CHORUS
I RAQ, I RACK'EM UP AND I ROLL
I'M BACK AND I'M A HIGH TECH GI JOE
I PRAY FOR PEACE AND PREPARE FOR WAR
AND I NEVER WILL FORGET
THERE'S NO PRICE TOO HIGH FOR FREEDOM
SO BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU TREAD

THE TERROR ISN'T MAN TO MAN
THEY CAN BE NO MORE THAN COWARDS
IF THEY WON'T SHOW US THEIR WEAPONS
WE MIGHT HAVE TO SHOW THEM OURS

IT MIGHT BE A SMART BOMB
THEY FIND STUPID PEOPLE TOO
IF YOU STAND WITH THE LIKES OF SADDAM
ONE JUST MIGHT FIND YOU

CHORUS II
I ROCK, I RACK'EM UP AND I ROLL
I'M BACK AND I'M A HIGH TECH GI JOE
I GOT INFRARED, GPS AND GOOD OLD FASHIONED LEAD
NO PRICE TOO HIGH FOR FREEDOM
BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU TREAD

BRIDGE
NOW YOU CAN COME ALONG
OR YOU CAN STAY BEHIND
OR YOU CAN GET OUT OF THE WAY
BUT OUR TROOPS TAKE OUT THE GARBAGE
FOR THE GOOD OLD U.S.A.


I ROCK, I RACK'EM UP AND I ROLL
IN THE USA
I ROCK, I RACK'EM UP AND I ROLL
I'M TALKIN' ABOUT THE USA

They said, "Death to America" and "May a thousand jet planes infest our skyscrapers" and "We wipe our asses with the Flag, the Bible and the Constitution...buy our records, you scum!"

Other than that, nothing much. I don't know why everyone is blowing it out of proportion.

I have written my local stations and asked them to stop playing Dixie Blix:

To whom it may concern:

What is KWJJ's position on the remarks made by the Dixie Chicks?

I do not want to support these brain dead money grubbers, so I would like to know if you are going to continue to play Dixie Chicks.

I know they have a right to speak. I have a right to speak as well and I am speaking with my listener ship and money.

These girls have no clue what they are talking about and merely used the situation for publicity and attention while in Europe.

Please instead play more Clint Black, Darryl Worley and Charlie Daniels Band.

Thank you

Keath Huff

Don Imus really ripped into them this morning.
He was one of their early supporters, gave them a lot of publicity.
They won't like the airtime he gave them this morning.

The Dixie Chick in question, Natalie Maines aka Natalie Louise MainesTarabay Pasdar is married to Adrian Pasdar. He is 9 years younger than her and is the son of HOMAYOON PASDAR Born in Tehran, Iran. Who is a cardiothoracic surgeon at a hospital in Philadelphia, PA's western surburbs. See here.

Maybe the deal here is that this Dixie Chick is married to a Muslim? That's what I thought. Because her father-in-law is from Iran? Maybe he is but opensecrets.org shows her father in law as a Republican:

Contributor Occupation Date Amount Recipient PASDAR, HOMAYOON DREXEL HILL, PA 19026 PHYSICIAN 11/7/1996 $200 National Republican Congressional Cmte

PASDAR, HOMAYOON MEDIA, PA 19063 THE GLOVER CLINIC 9/30/1994 $250 Haytaian, Garabed "Chuck"

So, I suppose her views are based somewhat on what her husband and in-laws think?

Interesting?
