: : : : : : I see the Dixie Chicks cleaned up at the country music awards, way to go girls. Can't no boycott stop them, just made them stronger...
: : : : : The Dixie Chicks suck big time. You can tell they didn't win by a "popular" vote. Their singing sounds like a bunch of drunks whining and they are not good Americans. What a rip.
: : : : What makes a "Good American"?
: : :
: : : That is a very good question. In my opinion , which with 75 cents will get you a cup of coffee, Is a individual who takes pride in his coutry and tried to be a good representative of their country when abroad. So with that said i did not think clinton was a good american during the late 60's or 70's. In my opinion it is kinda like having a brother that is no damn good and everyone in the family dispises him, you don't necessarrily announce that fact to the neighbors. Keep your dissent home and I think you will do fine. The Dixie Chicks problem was they picked a fight with a popular country singer at the time, then bad mouthed the president in England. There have been a lot of musicians bad mouth the president and hey, they move along. take for example Norah jones who on her last album wrote a prticular biting song about old GW. You did not hear much about it because it happened at home. But the lead singer for the Chicks is tied in with the liberal Hollywood Crew (Her husband is a actor) and did not realize how patriotic the people are that listen to their particular genre of music are.And exactly how unforgiving they can be.I don't think they will ever be successfull country artists again. On their last tour they had to cancel numerous shows due to poor ticket sales and moved their shows into Canada. Even further snubbing our redneck mentality. She will never learn. I personally won't buy their music because of their activities. Just the same way I will not Springsteens or Bon Jovi's. These entertainers would be farther suited to entertain us,Not use us to gain fame and celebrity, then preach their politics to us. But like i said my opinion and 75 cents might get ya a cup of coffee
: : so, in other words you think a good american is someone who keeps thier mouth shut and doesn't voice thier opinion, regardless of our right to freedom of speech?
: No he thinks GB is a good American and Clinton isn't too bad the rest of the country doesn't agree. Bill Clinton could run right now and beat Bush hands down...
Wrong again. I agree Bush has made mistakes. But the one thing he did not do was demonstrate against his country while in another country. That is my personal opinion. Demonstrate all you want at home.. Just keep it at home. I agree Clinto would win again. No doubt. the man had a way with people. Just like reagan would have won again and again. He had a way with people. Clinton ran the country thru polls. Bush doesn't. That is a big difference.
