But yet, why are the Dixie Chicks cancelling dates in most of the red state areas and getting more dates in Canada, of all places?

Here is the formula for Marxist Success in the music industry:

1. Hit it big as a Capitalist
2. Condemn everything that made you rich in the fist place
3. Live off your wealth while while wondering why no one loves you anymore.
4. Play empty arenas and blame someone else

This article attempts to put the lipstick on the pigs but it fails. The Chicks sound really, really dumb.

This has been posted many times already...Which is good as it gives me the opportunity to again say that there's been a change in their concert schedule.

Please note that the Dixie Hicks will be playing:

Hancock High School Auditoreum July 11th. They will be the opening act for Da Yoopers.

In fact they did aggressively campaign, via their website, for their fans to request their music and up playtime. That's why their album sold but their concert dates didn't.

Why is that "right wingers" cannot make a value judgment without it being called "McCarthyism"? Libs do it all the time, from views on war toys to tobacco, but somehow only the right engages in "bullying". Describing Pubbies as between "reptile and repulsive" is okay, of course. What's good for the goose is not good for the gander, I suppose.

I am proud to say I never liked the Dixie Chicks, even before Sept. 11. Of course I'm not a country music fan, but then again it's clear that nether are the Dixie Chicks.

"The entire country may disagree with me, but I don't understand the necessity for patriotism," Maines resumes..

My God, is it possibly for this broad to be any more stump ass stupid?

"I really don`t understand the need for eating and breathing!"

Sisters Emily Robison and Martie Maguire project a polished Fifth Avenue elegance, and vocalist Natalie Maines is a vision of sculpted cheekbones and smoky eye-shadow.

In other words, these girls are soooooooooooo tres chic, unlike you unwashed hicks and coverall-clad bumpkins. I'll bet none of YOU know how to project a polished Fifth Avenue elegance. All YOU know how to do is polish off a fifth of Jack Daniels.

"It was the bullying and the scare factor," shudders banjo and guitar player Robison. "It was like the McCarthy days, and it was almost like the country was unrecognisable."

Oh, please! Yeah, you're such martyrs, such noble campaigners for truth and tolerance. Sell it somewhere else, honey.

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.

Uh huh. Because YOU weren't cashing in or promoting YOUR careers, were you? And maybe, just maybe, those other artists refused to support you because they despise you and they support the president. If it's "horrible" for them to express their disgust with you, then why isn't it equally horrible for you to open your blowholes and take cheap shots at the president, all for a round of applause from a bunch of Euroweenies?

This whole article is an apologia for the Dizzy Twits, and an attempt to salvage something of their careers.

Why did the Ditzy Chimps survive their vicious attack on their president? Because he isn't the nazi dictator the left claims he is. If he were half that bad, the Chimps would have commit suicide in the vicinity of Little Rock.

Natalie Mains is really, really ignorant. She doesn't know why we need patriotism? She doesn't know why she has the freedoms she has. She knows no history. My guess is that she is a product of public schools and is just a prime example of what the union schools are turning out. She is also a prime example of 'the arrogance of ignorance.'

Reminds me of Michael Moore...If you do a search on google, there is a website that lists all the hypocrisy of that fat turd, such as him owning Halliburton stock, riding in limos, and living in a multi-mill condo, yet his whole gig is bashing America, capitalism.
