How the Chicks survived their scrap with Bush

When you're in a hole, it's a good idea to stop digging. They will be whooping in Mandarin before this is over.

"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," 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."


I posted thes comments on a mass e-mail and passed them on. Do the same. As these fools reap the benefits of this great country and sacrifices of our great troops they respond with this crap?? Unbelievable.

The Chicks have traditionally been branded a country band, but clearly it's some time since their diet consisted of ribs, tacos and pancakes.

Hot dayamn! That's just what us southners eat. That Anglish guy's got us pegged! He musta spent some time down here! But don't fergit that you gotta have some calamari and pickles before bedtime!

Simple. Country is quite popular in Canada along with the stuff that's classified as -ahem- folk. Probably one or two well known country singers who have figured out how to do the twang and record down here. Remember Anne Murray? She's "country", according to Canadians, anyway.

Adam Sweeting is an idiot. The worst part is that he doesn't realize it.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Because they are dumb. And everytime one of them opens her mouth more people see it.

[Sue Perkick]

Because he's like the Twits. Too busy trying to be elite & pretentious. "I simply must have a soft shell crab sandwich. Excuse me, do you have any Grey Poupon?"

"My thoughts exactly. And I'm so sick of hearing about all of their imagined persecution. People stopped buying their records-no one arrested them, beat them or tried to kill them, and I am certain that the "death threats" if they existed at all were few and far between."

"Ye, you have a right to say whatever you want, morons, and we have a right to express our opinion of your comments with our feet."

Maines is a vacuous, ignorant and spoiled twenty-year old who reflects her leftist-influence brainwash. Anyone outside her pseudo-liberal groupthink is a "red neck" or worse, a "patriot." Unfortunately, too many youth are in agreement with her - they have no American Heritage.
Maines is so immature and dissociated that she doesn't realise that by insulting most Americans, she can well enough expect deserved returning knockout punchlines.

Natalie is actually in her 30's which makes her behavior even more deplorable.

It has nothing to do with money or class (which are often mutually exclusive), and nowhere did I assert that it did.

It has to do with pretensions and world-view.

I opined nothing about redistribution of wealth, nor did I assert that "all urbanites are Yankees".

I merely stated that these 3 pretentious little twits apparently feel the need to "over-act" like Yankees in order to further distance themselves from their redneck roots.

You seem to have read something a bit personal into my statements (defensively, perhaps???).

BTW, it occurs to me that your "old money" statements and current "Republicans earning theirs" are somewhat contradictory. Are you spending your "new, Republican earned" money on $20.00 glasses of wine, or are you spending your "old" money (that someone else earned)?

I'm as staunch a Republican as one will find, and I don't give 1/2 a shit about "class".

I simply find it amusing that some people think that what they eat (or drink) somehow makes them superior. It's just another form of the snobbish bigotry, at which the left actually excels, but will never admit. It's up to you to decide where you stand.

The album is destined to be a mild success...although concert-wise, the ladies are mostly finished in the US and will have to concentrate on Europe and Canada...and maybe California (not counted as part of the US).

Their patience will be paid back should Hillary win the presidential election and they are allowed to play at the presidential ball. I'm suspecting that this is the gameplan...simply to hold out. But should this strategy not work...its hard to see a lucrative pay situation ahead of them.
