In an interview with UK's Telegraph newspaper, Robison accused some country artists of jumping on the anti-Chicks bandwagon to further their own careers. She said, "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. 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."
From Yahoo News.
...Natalie Maines also confessed that she does not understand patriotism:
“…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."
If that’s how you feel Natalie then what was all that gushy patriotic talk we heard in the midst of your melt down March 2003? Were you being less than honest when you said???
"While war may remain a viable option, as a mother, I just want to see every possible alternative exhausted before children and American soldiers' lives are lost. I love my country. I am a proud American."
It’s all about you Dixie Chicks. Your claim that country artists display patriotism solely to diss you is laughable. If our soldiers and our flag sicken you, maybe you should consider upping your meds. Perhaps Discovery Channel will feature you on their hit show Intervention. Just kidding but seriously..
Understanding patriotism requires an appreciation for history. History buffs know that America founded the guarantee of free speech in the modern age. Our constitution is the oldest one standing. Many fundamentals The American Constitution have been adopted or mimicked by other nations.
Today, long after America’s forefathers sparked a worldwide movement, freedom of speech is no longer perceived as an American product. History reveals however, that everyone in the free world who benefits from such constitutional protections is indebted to American Troops.
If it weren't for our soldiers Miss Maines, you would not have had a career to destroy. Also, you would be more likely shut your pie hole.
That goes double for you Sleazehan (aka Sheehan)
She's unattractive and she's a poor spokesperson. She is however a self proclaimed victim and that makes her an asset to the left. Or so they think. Keep talking Cindy!
