The Dixie Chicks spout off and we protest, but no one tries to shut them up.

...ummm...why should we try to shut them up?? They do a very good job of imploding all by themselves.

I don't like the idea of "shut them up" for any U. S. citizen.

I said that badly... I didn't mean we should shut them up I meant that we didn't shut them up because we recognize the value of free speech.
But the left sees free speech as only belonging to themselves.

Sorry if I confused you I was in a hurry at the time.
