17. The difference, in my opinion, is that the Dixie Chicks were attacked for a simple statement. They
were boycotted for their opinions, which is just as 'allowable' as their freedom to say they were ashamed of Bush. Those who wanted to 'shut up' the Dixie Chicks also looked for dirt, but couldn't find anything other than the statement.

Miss California was free to make her statement and people were just as free to dig for dirt. Here they found it and exposed it. But she keeps crying 'foul' and lying her ass off to keep the dirt off herself.

I went out and bought my first-ever DVD, "Home" by the Dixie Chicks to show my support of them.
I will never watch nor in any way support the Miss California or Miss USA pageants. Apparently, Trump is just like the past administration, able to ignore the rules and laws governing the pageants.
