Your pretty big into ad hominem attacks, aren't cha?

If by that you meand do I butt in and put my big mouth into use accusing others of attacking somebody who hasn't attacked or said anything to them,the answer is "No".

Now it's YOUR turn to answer the question.

[sneakypete]

:-}, yeah, that's a part of what I'm worried about, him dealing with his neighbors including AL Qaeda in the north, Answar al Islam in the north, Hamas and Hezbollah to the east.

Any or all of them would have cheerfully killed him before Ali Bubba made him into a hero figure.

[lawgirl]

Too late beeatch.

[sneakypete]

Darn about your friend. I know of an AF guy who was there that day and is sitting in his parents house in Orlando with half a brain.

Sorry to hear that. That is MUCH worse than almost anything I can think of.

Infuriates me that the Saudi tentacles into our government reach so deep that even the murders of Americans won't wake up the powers that be out of their bloodmoney drenched stupor.

Me,too. I keep trying to point this out,and I keep getting suspended and called a "traitor",a "commie",or "anti-American".

Question is, is there anyone in the political system with the guts, the integrity, the patriotism who is untainted by Saudi money to take them on.

I'm sure there is,but nobody who will ever be in a prominent leadership position in either branch of the Dim Party. The leadership in the DNC and the RNC pick and choose who will be elected,and who won't be elected. They backed Giddy Dolt because she was a known insider,and they knew she could be trusted to not upset anybody's apple cart.

It's funny how so few talk about the Saudi lobby and influence but everyone's willing to nail the Zionist lobby.

Well,the truth is you get nailed if you try to talk about the Zionist lobby,too. You are correct that at least they get mentioned.

On second thought, it they gave a free support our troops/ support the President concert/God Bless the USA concert (sponsored by Budweiser)they MIGHT get their fans back.

[freeUSAbmxers]

Why don't they pack up and move to Europe with all the other winers.. Give up their US freedoms and go live in Iraq!!
Love us - or leave us - we won't miss you Dixie Chicks

I want to see her say it live not mumble through some hired mouthpiece.

[aculeus]

The heat in the Dixie Chick kitchen must be rising!

You bet!

Her managers and partners must be furious.

Don Imus a very influential radio/television talker has been giving this story BIG play.

Country music fans are very patriotic and this chick has stepped in it ... big time.

She can expect to be booed (at least) at concerts especially if we are by then burying our dead and caring for the wounded.

[Revolting cat!]

We kids learned early that chickens are dumb, and that baby chicks would open their mouths and look up during a heavy rain, and occasionally, one of them would drown.

Thanks for the best one sentence summary of the whole episode!

What he is doing is nothing compared to what the Saudi's are doing.

Name the person in the Saudi government who is doing it and what they are doing.

[AppyPappy]

truth is you get nailed if you try to talk about the Zionist lobby,too

That's because the "Zionist Lobby" is where Elvis is eating those doughnuts.

My point about the Dixie Hicks is simply that if you are going to speak out about public policy issues have something coherent to say and be prepared to take the heat. Hick Maines appears to have been unprepared in both cases.

Charlton Heston has been a good front man for the NRA and he has held his own in public policy debates. James Woods has moved in a neo-conservative direction over time. He rarely speaks on public policy issues but when he does he at least is able to defend his views coherently.

The other two chicks DID kick out their first singer before getting fat cheeks.

"I'm ashamed Bush is president too"

Hmmm...another Bush hater without a reason. If you can't back it up, don't spew it.

by Sneaky Pete-- Then why is he going to start a war against a country that hasn't attacked us,where soldiers and children WILL be killed? Not to mention maimed for life. Don't try to feed me that "terrorism" crap,either. If this war were about terrorism,we would be going to war against Saudi Arabia. Can't do that,though. It would financially hurt too many prominent political families from both branches of our one political party too much. Wouldn't be prudent.

You know Pete..you don't have a clue. You are spouting the same dogma the left is and you just don't have a clue about what's really going on do you. This post isn't even worth the time to argue. Fortunately, I'm not one who let's this kind of tripe slip by unchallenged because I might not be liked anymore.
