That statement prompted all kinds of reactions from the American public, causing the group to further explain their stance on their official website. "We've been overseas for several weeks and have been reading and following the news accounts of our government's position," the group explains. "The anti-American sentiment that has unfolded here is astounding. While we support our troops, there is nothing more frightening than the notion of going to war with Iraq and the prospect of all the innocent lives that will be lost."

Maines also says, "I feel the President is ignoring the opinions of many in the U.S. and alienating the rest of the world. My comments were made in frustration and one of the privileges of being an American is you are free to voice your own point of view.

Do I share those sentiments? Do I have questions about the Constitutionality of the war? And considering North Korea is building missiles to reach our borders yet all the while we reopen aid to them ? Do I have questions about the war considering that even some of our 'allies' and supporters in this battle (Saudi Arabia, Egypt, etc) are sponsoring terrorism?

Yes I do. I support and pray for the troops but yes I have questions about this war. And before you start calling me Frenchie (as I am wont to see the arguments presented tend to be filled with) it has nothing to do with the UN. We should protect our national sovereignty however I still have questions of exactly how much a threat Saddam Hussein (no pictures of 9/11 either please, while tragic, the only evidence of the supposed ties we've seen is from the government, the guys wanting to fight the war remember?) is compared to some other dictators in the world

Yours are all reasoned concerns, some of which I share. Reasonable men can disagree. But that is not what these anti-American celebrity shills are doing. They are making personal attacks on our Commander in Chief at a time of war, and obfuscating the truth. It is their Free Speech right to do so. It is also my right to express my objection by using the same Free Speech and with my dollars. It is additionally my right to organize with others to this purpose.

Reminds me of the saying, “The best response to Free Speech, is more Free Speech”. The process is working, as it should.

God bless America that we are even having these discussions.

I would like to hear the Dixie Chicks explain why they are ashamed that the president is from Texas. What is it about Texas that makes them proud to be from there? What is it about Texas history that makes them believe that the approval of Europeans matter?

Does Natalie believe that only Texans should enjoy the freedom of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? Does she believe it is ok to intimidate your people into silence by cutting off the tongues/hands/legs/etc of those who dissent?
