Apology from Natalie Maines

As a concerned American citizen, I apologize to President Bush because my remark was disrespectful. I now realize that whoever holds that office should be treated with the utmost respect.

I hope everyone understands, I'm just a young girl who grew up in Texas. As far back as I can remember, I heard people say they were ashamed of President Clinton. I saw bumper stickers calling him everything from a pothead to a murderer. I heard people on the radio and tv like Rush Limbaugh, Pat Robertson, Newt Gingrich and Trent Lott bad mouthing the President and ridiculing his wife and daughter at every opportunity.

I heard LOTS of people disrespecting the President. So I guess I just assumed it was acceptable behavior.

But now, thanks to the thousands of angry people who want radio stations to boycott our music because criticizing the President is unpatriotic, I realize it's wrong to have a liberal opinion if you're a country music artist. I guess I should have thought about that before deciding to play music that attracts hypocritical red necks.

I also realize now that I'm supposed to just sing and look cute so our fans won't have anything to upset them while they're cheating on their wives or getting in drunken bar fights or driving around in their pickup trucks shooting highway signs and small animals.

And most important of all, I realize that it's wrong for a celebrity to voice a political opinion, unless they're Charlie Daniels, Clint Black, Merle Haggard, Barbara Mandrell, Loretta Lynn, Ricky Skaggs, Travis Tritt, Hank Williams Jr, Billy Ray Cyrus, Crystal Gayle, Reba McEntire, Lorrie Morgan, Mike Oldfield, Ted Nugent, Wayne Newton, Dick Clark, Jay Leno, Drew Carey, Dixie Carter, Victoria Jackson, Melissa Gilbert, Charleton Heston, Tony Danza, Robert Stack, Fred Thompson, Ben Stein, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwartzenegger, Bo Derek, Rick Schroeder, George Will, Pat Buchanan, Bill O'Reilly, Joe Rogan, Delta Burke, Robert Conrad or Jesse Ventura.

God Bless America, Natalie

"That's probably the reason the poster included "(humor)" in the title."

Actually, the word "humor" was added later. When I first read it, it did not have anything to show it as parody. It read like someone's attempt at humor, as no one, not even the fat Dixie Chick could be that head-up-the-ass stupid, so I clicked the link. That's why I posted what I did. I know how hair-triggered some FReepers can be. We have enough PR problems from trolls that we don't need to create a bigger mess by ourselves.

Natalie's real apology wasn't accepted, and this attempt to make conservatives and country music fans look foolish is lame, too. :)

Thanks. As I read more of the thread, I realized that the humor had probably been inserted into the title later by the Admin Moderator. (It looks like they've been pretty busy today.)

[rface]

actually, the Moderator put HUMOR in the title - I didn't think it was one damn bit funny - I didn't know it was a parody site - but there is a schedule of coming concerts and that is not a parody.

[Polybius]

The title has been changed to "humor".

One thing that must be remembered is that most country music fans who listen to Dixie Chick music aren't Liberals.

The Dixie Chicks have a right to voice an opinion that is insulting to their Conservative country music audience and their Conservative country music audience has an equal right to tell them to go to h*ll.

Wide Open Spaces, Parody

I really don't know what I'm talking about,
I bash my homeland, and I struck out.
To find a thought and a cause of my own
my life in the clouds as another Iraqi's stoned.

I try to lead, but no one will follow
false compassion rings rather hollow.
I choose tyranny over the west,
To me tyranny is really for the best.

I need wide open spaces,
kind that gassing kurd will make
I need Dead Faces
empaled up on stakes.

She died on this road as a child,
Wide eyed hopeing, she never tired.
But now she won't be coming back with the rest,
I stopper her hope and she was raped to death.

I need wide open spaces,
kind that gassing kurd will make
I need Dead Faces
empaled up on stakes.

As my friends visit me they shout "No War For Oil",
Saddams winks at me and says "That's my girl"
He says, "I started this over 12 years ago,
Can't believe you've fallen for the same song and show."

I need wide open spaces,
kind that gassing kurd will make
I need Dead Faces
empaled up on stakes.

ENJOY, and if anyone wants to record it, yes its my work... drop me a line.

She is not only anti-Bush, she is a coward who wouldn't stand by her statement! This proves she is willing to say or do anything to keep that money floating in....is she really from Texas, cause she sounds like a Canadian?

[dansangel]

LOL!!! I have the same malady. :-)

Hiya Dansangel. :-)

Hugs to you. Long time no type!

I gotta say, my fingers were definitely typing before my brain was enganged. lol

I stopped off to get a bottle of wine this evening and even the guy at the counter was asking about the Vichey chicks. I turned him towards Toby and then brought up that new song Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses. ;-)

[dansangel]

You're a hoot, (((((((((RS))))))))

I definitely have to meet you sometime soon. I admire "feisty" in a fellow FReeper!
