Worth repeating. As a conservative, I believe in being responsible for one's actions. This is why I am enjoying seeing the Dixie Chicks reap what they have sown. I was a big fan before the statement (I have all three of their CDs, and Home was one of only 3 CDs I have bought this year), and since then, when I hear their songs, I am reminded of what a hateful person Maines is. I am also reminded of Bill Clinton when she keeps trying to change her explanation. Maybe some of their defenders like Bill Clinton. Who knows? All I know is my main radio station here in Kansas City (and the number 1 country station in KC) still isn't playing their music, and their morning guys are real skeptical of forgiveness after seeing the Diane Sawyer clips.
One more time: Conservatives = taking responsibility, not playing the victim, not making excuses, not blaming the VRWC (which I am sure is next).
Exactly.
Here's a quote from today's Federalist along the same line:
"Here in a nutshell is the classic modern-day misunderstanding of freedom: Freedom means not just the right to be free from government sanction, but also to be free from consequences." --David Hogberg
This modern misunderstanding has led a whole generation of people to think that there should be no consequences for actions. I think it's time to remind these people that there are always consequences.
