DIXIE CHICKS QUESTION YOUR PATRIOTISM (soldiers& flag in videos sickening display patriotism)

Michelle Malkin ^

[hipaatwo]

But don't question theirs (gallon-sized hat tip: Coalition of the Swilling)...

The Chicks can't hide their disgust at the lack of support they received from other country performers. "A lot of artists cashed in on being against what we said or what we stood for because that was promoting their career, which was a horrible thing to do," says Robison.

"A lot of pandering started going on, and you'd see soldiers and the American flag in every video. It became a sickening display of ultra-patriotism."

"The entire country may disagree with me, but I don't understand the necessity for patriotism," [Natalie] Maines resumes, through gritted teeth. "Why do you have to be a patriot? About what? This land is our land? Why? You can like where you live and like your life, but as for loving the whole country… I don't see why people care about patriotism."

[Ken522]

The depth of this woman's intellect is truly ... breath-taking!

[muawiyah]

"Dixie...." who?

Do they mean those ladies in Columbus, GA or somewhere else.

[Theresawithanh]

Just one question for ya, Nat, where were you when the world stopped turnin'?

[Grendel9]

Pity her. She hasn't a clue!

[katiedidit1]

I dont understand why the Dixie Twits are even headline news

This chick doesn't have a clue. I hate chicks like this who give us women the "bimbo" label. Sheesh! I'm curious if she ever read a history book? Lady, get a clue and then hush.

[tobyhill]

The Dixie Chicks are nothing but two bit trailer trash whores.

[vox_freedom]

I hope when she gets her next "award" she is quoted as saying to the audience: "You hate me, you really hate me!"

[marron]

Democrats like to feign pained offense if you question their patriotism, but I think we should stop falling for it.

They aren't patriotic. If you don't believe in the principles the country was founded on, if you blame your country for every ill in the world, and for every ill in your life, its hard to imagine why anyone should call you patriotic.

Patriotism isn't automatically a good thing. There are probably a hundred countries out there where being a flagwaver would be a sin, so far short of basic morality do they fall.

And if you feel that this country is one of those that fall so short you couldn't possibly love it, why would you even want to pretend to be a patriot? But thats my point. They do feel that way, and we should stop letting them pretend to feel a love that they manifestly do not feel.

[4yearlurker]

Man!..can this shrew get anymore stupid? Talk about thick as a brick!

[Mr_Moonlight]

Keep it up, Natalie ... keep on biting the hand that feeds you (America and its people) ... keep it up and soon you'll end up as one of the 99.9% extinct species that ever inhabited the Earth ...

[RightOnline]

What a drooling idiot. People actually pay to see this little bi*ch?

[SuzyQue]

Those poor women don't have 80 total IQ points between the three of them.

[the final gentleman]

Poor Natalie. She has the brains of a zebra but not the looks.

[tsmith130]

Lady, get a clue and then hush.

There, that's better.

[Doug Loss]

Do you know what? I don't question their patriotism at all. To question something is to tacitly admit that it might exist. I deny their patriotism.

[MarkeyD]

She's not so little.

[sinanju]

What really gets me is not just her opinion, but Nat's sheer juvenality. She really comes accross as a brat.

Read the whole thing to get the full effect.

And take especial not of the accompanying photo. They are ALL bleached blondes now, and are costumed like Cyndi Lauper, or Dale Bozzio circa 1984.

[DB]

They've dug themselves a deep hole and they just can't stop digging...

They consider themselves citizens of the world with no particular allegiance to any one place.

[4yearlurker]

I think someones favorite song is "Imagine".............

[krunkygirl]

You have to WANT to go down in flames to say this stuff...

[Armedanddangerous]

You know, this might all blow over at some point if fat little Natalie would just close her mouth and try not to make waves.

And yet, she keeps stirring the Merde.

Only a liberal doesnt understand the need for patriotism.

[Rte66]

Yeah, we sure are giving them way more attention than they deserve. I guess I just needed some target practice, myself.

[Clintonfatigued]

Natalie Maines is an airhead. Don't be surprised if her husband (actor Adrian Pasdar) finally gets tired of her bulls**t and divorces her.

[Rte66]

Too bad they don't have to live in Mexico. That would be ideal. And they could be the "Los Lonely Girls."

[LibWhacker]

Man, that's one dumb blonde! Instead of telling blonde jokes, from now on people should just tell Maines jokes. Everyone will understand.

[Cricket24]

The last time these idiots opened their mouths we put their cd's away. This time we have thrown them in the trash. There is no hope for them. They should move to another country and sing their damn songs.
I am proud to be an "Ultra Patriot"!!

[Mr_Moonlight]

It's kinda pathetic when a touring musical act has to post a message on their own website that No shows have been cancelled due to negative controversy stirred up by one of its principle components. If Natalie and their management think that this controversy 'sells', then they are sadly mistaken. Simply pathetic.

[MarkL]

They are ALL bleached blondes now, and are costumed like Cyndi Lauper, or Dale Bozzio circa 1984.

I used to have a crush on the banjo player, and thought she was prettiest when she had her hair long and natural color (brown). On the other hand, I was a hugh Missing Persons fan... Big fan of Terry and Warren. But then I liked Terry Bozzios work with Zappa and UK too. And Dale was just fun to look at!

[TommyDale]

The Dixie Chicks fall right into the category of narcissistic, just as the Hollywood celebrities that think their opinions are valuable just because they have an audience. They all think they are important, which really makes it funny!

[headstamp]

Circling the bowl as we speak.

[MrEdd]

Patriotism is not an attribute that nearly everyone has, like eye color or a having favorite song. It is an attribute that those who value it can acquire like a NASCAR rating or becoming an Eagle Scout. Those who claim it falsely are sometimes revealed as frauds. This makes them embarrassed or angry.

[Chgogal]

BTTT

Marron, please give me the honor of introducing you to Wombat101. Wombat101, Marron. Thank You.

[I still care]

"You can like where you live and like your life, but as for loving the whole country… I don't see why people care about patriotism."

Some call this the hate America first crowd. I think it is more complex - some do hate America, but more likely it comes from an inability to understand gratitude.

People have died for this country, so this ditzy chick can spout off like a moron. She is incapable of understanding the gift she has been given.

Natalee, freedom isn't free. It doesn't just "happen". People pour out their souls for it.

[Black Guy who is a Republican]

Another 'musical talent' (I use the term loosely) dispensing nuggets of wisdom to the masses.

The Ditzy Chick should shut up and sing, if she knows what's good for her career.

[small voice in the wilderness]

Yep. Like a flock of chickens taking roost at the KFC. What did they THINK would happen?!

[bannie]

Idiot savaant--assuming that she really CAN sing...

[Chgogal]

LOL

I deleted what I truly felt. Some Conservopussies might get upset. ;)

[visualops]

What a maroon.

[P-40]

I don't see why people care about patriotism."

That's cuz you ain't all that bright.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

The "Dixie Twits" should be banned from performing in America as well as their teasonous music on radio.Today we have not one but three of "Tokyo Rose".

[hipaatwo]

This was said in England. I hope a few country deejays hear about it.

[mjolnir]

I don't think she's questioning your or my pariotism...

She's denying (not questioning, since her "questions" are purely rhetorical)that our (the "we" in "our" refers to most people in America) patriotism is a defect, that patriotism itself is wrong.

I would give her points for her honesty, but I'm betting she'll go nuts when someone points out this means by her own (stupid) definition she isn't patriotic.

[operation clinton cleanup]

Wide open spaces... between their ears.

[Steamburg]

The Dixi Clucks are headlines only because they are supported by an extreme left media that wouldn't admit their existance if they didn't agree with their anti-American position.

[LostInBayport]

"The entire country may disagree with me, but I don't understand the necessity for patriotism," [Natalie] Maines resumes, through gritted teeth. "Why do you have to be a patriot? About what? This land is our land? Why? You can like where you live and like your life, but as for loving the whole country… I don't see why people care about patriotism."

There are a lot of liberals (especially up here in the People's Republic of Massachusetts) who eschew any pride whatsoever in this country. They'll put the 'Support Our Troops' sticker on their Subaru, but wouldn't be caught dead with an American flag on their person, car or home. They see America as 'the bad guy', but will still take advantage of its prosperity and security. Yet, don't draw attention to that fact or they feign 'offense'---which is really anger at being called on their hypocrisy.

This is why I think the Democrats will lose in November. Their 'patriotism' is mere words without the feeling to back it up. They are Natalie Maines on the inside, and Nancy Pelosi and her carefully vague talking points on the outside. (Now see if you sleep at night with that picture in your head).

Those who understand America will not fall for false faces like Pelosi's (I mean that literally and figuratively).

[bfree]

I don't see why people care about patriotism

I don't think Nat has a clue. I question the patriotism of every LIBERAL in existence.

[LibLieSlayer]

I wonder if she is amBIdextrous like the hildebeast?
