This is the probably the most level headed reply I have seen. If you do not agree with someone or thier point of view, don't support them or spend money on furthering thier cause. It is a pure and simple point of view; it saddens me to see some of the topics and comments about these young ladies, they stated thier opinion (an opinion I dare say my fellow Americans that is held by some in places we think are 'pro' American like Europe). being cruel and malicous never accomplishes anything and I take it from reading some of these messages, that some posters here are 'claiming' to be God fearing Christians... Perhaps they have the right idea in fearing God as he would surely never approve of the way this has gotten out of hand regrading the Dixie Chicks. Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times? Jesus answered, I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times. Matthew 18: 21 - 35 and thier sin 12 words... and how many have not forgiven them as it is written?
I know its been a few weeks but I have to say your post is right on the money.
