Dixie Chicks Natalie Maines Jumps the Shark: Now Bashes Patriots

In an article from the UK - again in the UK - she says:

"A lot of pandering started going on, and you'd see soldiers and the American flag in every (country music) 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."
_____

Natalie Maines is a soulless, self-absorbed, narcissist who sees nothing of value outside herself. She's a walking blonde-joke.

Pulling people out of the ditc...
who cares what she thinks? I sure don't lose any sleep over it, and you shouldn't either. She is a self-absorbed nitwit who has a publicist behind her saying "Natalie, you haven't been in the news all week, and you have an album to sell. Say something negative..."

And everyone falls for it...

Don't be so sure, France is pretty patriotic too. This dufus would probably dis the Eifel Tower or wine and cheese or something if she was a French citizen!

True enough, BF, but on the military side, they haven't been able to do much flag waiving...(and when she dissed them, she wouldn't be in France, of course. Probably the UK.)

How about linking the article?
And whether I agree with her or not, I will defend her right to say it!

Exactly. Why do we need to slam her or try to silence her? If that's how she feels then she has the right to say it.

I'll fight anyone who tries to silence her!!! Who tried to silence her???

I'll also fight anyone who tries to silence those who slam her!!!

Someone recently started a thread devoted solely to slamming George Bush and then another devoted to slamming Britanny Spears. Why do we need threads slamming them, but not a thread slamming Natalie Maines???

Just as much as others have to say they don't care for her saying it. Why defend her right to say it, but not defend others right to say they don't like her saying it?

Sure, slam away! It's your right to express yourself. I don't understand why we spend so much time and energy on the Dixie Chicks but what the heck. I don't guess I'm as tuned into them as much as others so that's why I don't understand the passion. Praise her if you agree, and slam away if you don't. God bless America!!

Calling her soundless and self absorbed did not take away her right to say anything. Nor did say she should not say it. Here is a buck, go buy a clue.

Are they being only patriotic? They don't have a partisan agenda that they try to further through flag-waving and other symbolism?

Because we are slamming her does not mean we are trying to silence her, now if we had her arrested and tortured or killed to "silence" her that would be different. I will also fight for her right to speak as she feels, as long as she will fight for my right to call her A MORON when I feel it is appropriate.

That's just X's way of saying, "I beg your pardon but I must disagree with what you are saying. Let's sit down and have a civil conversation about it."

Supporting your country and soldiers is pandering? Wow....I guess she would have been thrilled when the Vietnam vets were spit on when returning home...

Not only do I support Natalie and the Dixie Chicks for speaking out, I agree with what she says (assuming the original post is correct). Our country would be much better served with a little less patriotism and a little more common sense -- especially from Washington DC.
