I love how this country is all ablaze with political fire. I've had several wonderful discussions this week with various family and friends regarding the history-making election we're embarking on.
Over the last few years the biggest complainant about Bush has been the war. We shouldn't be there, we should get out now, we should have never gone in the first place. So many people in the country are so against the war. Maybe it was a mistake, obviously the majority of the country thinks it was.
So... I'm just wondering... all you people out there that beat up on the Dixie Chicks and cast them out as terrorists, you ready to make nice???
I am a republican (if you can't tell), I voted for Bush, and was happy to go to war (sorry, but I sleep a little better at night knowing that Saddam Hussein is sleeping with the fishes), but I never once thought ill of my Dixie Chicks (just ask my dad). That's the great thing about this country, you can think and say whatever you darn-well want (well, pretty much). Good grief, even the KKK is entitled to public displays of rhetoric. I didn't agree with the Dixie Chicks nor was I pleased that they said what they said, but I don't give a shit what they think; I love their music (three concerts baby!).
If you smashed a cd or thought nasty of these lovely, liberal ladies, maybe it's time to apologize.
We're all entitled to our own, wonderful opinions - whether they be wrong or republican. :)

Hi Lisa. Found this additional blog of yours tonight. And I wanted to tell you that I have recently been thinking about the Dixie Chicks too. I don't know why they entered my consciousness recently (maybe because you wrote about them.) Those gals were hung out to dry. They went through the wringer. And I thought it was shameful. I thought it was in bad taste that they chose to say something in France, but oh well. They had the right to say it. And others had the right to disagree with them. But to villify the band like the public did was not a good display of what our country is all about - freedom and let me add respect.
And I've been wondering how other look back on that incident now. How fun to see you write about it.
