Red-state liberals dig (Dixie) Chicks

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

I couldn't have said this better myself. Living in the Red State of Virginia (though thankfully not as blood red as Texas) I get so sick to death of listening to ass-kissing, NASCAR worshiping Bush* sycophants (many with confederate flags displayed somewhere) whining about those who express an thought that differs from their own narrow-minded opinions...

Loud-mouthed, rabble-rousing Texans find new base in left-wing rednecks
By Dave White

Do you count yourself among the offended former fans of the Dixie Chicks? Were you one of the people who loved them before you knew they harbored left-leaning sentiments and front-woman Natalie made her Bush-bashing remarks at a London show on the eve of the U.S. invasion of Iraq? Maybe you went to one of those country radio station-sponsored symbolic lynchings and stomped on a batch of Dixie Chicks CD jewel cases to show your patriotism? Did you cheer when Reba McEntire publicly scolded them? Or when that eloquent statesman Toby Keith put up that big sign of Natalie hugging Saddam at his own show? And now that their new CD “Taking The Long Way” is out, are you boycotting it? Complaining to any country station that plays it? Well then you and me, we ain’t friends.

You jewel case stompers feel betrayed, I know. I’ve read the articles where they quote various regional radio station program directors, all giving variations on the same quote: “The Dixie Chicks are over. They’ve got bad attitudes. We’ll never play them again. They keep rubbing salt in the wound.” Well boo-hoo. You can’t believe that someone who made records you sang along to and loved could be so unlike you, could be so disrespectful to someone as clearly loveable as our own President? Then welcome to the disillusioned club. We liberals have been living in that state of disgruntled shock for six years already. Honestly, you should be grateful that the only people who’ve made you this pissed off in that amount of time have been Michael Moore and trio of country singers.

"Red-state liberals rejoice!
But guess what? They did. And what it means is that you may have the Bush administration on your side of the pop culture war, you may even have a slim majority of America’s citizenry still on your side, but the rest of us are not going away any time soon. We are the people you think don’t exist, the ones advertisers can’t quite pin down, the ones who keep Molly Ivins employed. We are the red-state liberals. We vote and we buy CDs."

I feel like I'm a liberal in a Red State cause of that creep pataki and the area I live in can be deluded but there's also some really cool Libs around here..:patriot: :patriot:



Please rate this!

4. Interesting,

But, as a red-state liberal, I'm still not into their music.

I like just about everything save rap and country (and I don't make enough money to cough up $15 on something I'll never listen to, so that point's moot, as well).

But, if my red-state liberal bretheren want to purchase the CD, more power to them.
