Natalie Maines Issues Defiant Presidential Quote on Website (How Sorry is she Really?)

Natalie Maines.com ^ | March 19, 2003 | Natalie Maines

[ewing]

'To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the Presdient, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.'

President Theodore Roosevelt

[stuartcr]

Because, as a musician or artist, or someone whose living is made in the public eye, whose customers are the public, as opposed to someone that makes refrigerators, they have no right to speak out? What about politicians?

It was me! It went down when I posted !!

I have tried both links - get Server Not Found. Have we crashed it?

[Arkie2]

Didn't one of the original Dixie Chicks quit and get replaced by a classical singer who didn't really want the job since she didn't like country music? My guess is she's the one making all the noise.

[Jackie-O]

If I were her manager/PR person, I'd be putting a big piece of duct tape over her mouth right about now, before their careers are flushed down the tiolet that they are floating in.

Your link doesn't work (any longer?). Maybe they took down the guestbook. I can imagine some visitors' comments went beyond intellectual discourse.

Many people get their world view from freerepublic too...so what?

What?!? First of all as great as FR is, we don't have nearly the amount of influence as Hollywood does. Second, most Freepers come into FR already with a world view and they look to FR to validate that world view.

Since the link is now broken (which one of you were jumping up and down on it again?), let's have some fun. 

This is the official start of the:

Running/Potluck FR Natalie Maines Limerick Chain. 

I'll start it (keep it clean, folks).

 

There was a young singer from Lubbock.....

[Minty]

The girl doesn't get it, she looks better with her big mouth shut!

[retrokitten]

This is a good one and seems appropriate,

"The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first, the love of soft living and the get rich quick theory of life." -TR

[uncitizen]

TR is probably rolling in his grave right now saying: "i'm ashamed that fatchick is from the USA!"

[JakeINJoisey]

I'm not sure that website belongs to her...might be just a fan site she allowed to operate using her name in the domain...at any rate, it appears to have been shut down...hmmmmmmm

what was the context of the Roosevelt quote.

[stuartcr]

How much of the world listens to our liberal politicians? Should there only be conservative politicians? Silence is silence, it speaks only to those that have already decided what they want to hear.

[Maigrey]

There is a huge difference between criticizing the president (and many people here do differ on many issues with him, which is a good thing) and publically disagreeing with his policies, but to go abroad and question policy is distasteful. I also found it amusing that she was quoting DNC talking points in her "backhanded" apology.
