"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."

I think she looks like she loves the whole country ham.

She obviously doesn't subscribe to the old adage...

Better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Stick a fork in her.....she's done.

From the original Dixie Chicks website in 1997:
The Chicks remain as bright eyed, entertaining and approachable as when they first debuted on a Dallas street corner in 1989. As their repertoire and fan base have grown, so have their musicianship and ability to captivate audiences.

They have that hard-to-identify quality - call it magnetism or charisma - exuded by certain entertainers who genuinely enjoy what they are doing and tend to get others caught up in their enthusiasm.

Quite a contrast with how they have become. The way they act today, they don't seem to like who they are and they are blaming everybody else for their misery.
