All righty then...........my turn.
First off, I'd like you all to look at who started this thread.......If you think she started it as a political statement.....THINK AGAIN!
Now, the posts started off ok by aknowledging others choices and then quickly turned into personal attacks on the Dixie chicks.
Did they (or one of them) make comments unfriendly to the president? Yep I guess she/they did......so what.
I know I personally have said things about this president and others .......my right to do so and by the way......I can't remember the last president I didn't bash or poke fun at.
What person hasn't poked fun at a president? Doubt if anyone can answer "I haven't" to that, honestly.
The real clulprit in this situation has been mentioned but no one directed any of the anger/passion their way.......THE MEDIA/PRESS!
We as a whole in America seem to feel the need to focus upon the negative and the media/press tries very hard to propetuate that motion.
There is a beautiful invention called the clicker.....CHANGE THE CHANNEL!
Stop watching the media say "it's the worst" or "The biggest " or "The most"......
Day after day after day it's the same thing.........well if yesterday was the biggest, most, and the worst then how can it get even worse each day?
Because the media thinks you will tune in if they say that.......SO STOP TUNING IN!
Do any of you really think 1 musician and a paragraph of words could take down our top office in this country? Or sway the public on their own opinions?
I think that is a stretch.....IMHO
One of the worst things I remember about this deal is when I heard the media put on a confused veteran......the veteran said "I didn't go to war to defend our rights and our country so they could do that" UMMMMMMMMMMMMMM OOOOOPS?
And the media tried to get us to eat it up........I turned off the radio!
Sad that a veteran who served his country proudly doesn't understand what he was finghting for.
He in fact fought for that right, for EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN to have an opinion and the right to voice it!!! No matter what their income level or location.
I'm a vet and what I lined up to fight for was EVERYONES RIGHTS AND FREEDOM......NOT JUST MINE!
Even if I don't agree with someones actions....ie flag burning, abortion, religion or what ever.....I WILL STAND NEXT TO THEM AND DEFEND THEIR RIGHT TO DO/SAY SO!
How can we not and call ourselves patriotic americans?
I would not partake and would probably voice my opinion of disagreement with their activities all day long....but I would stand up for their right!
Many many many citizens are missing this fact and I believe it's the media shoving it down your throat......Turn that dang TV off for a few months....you don't need the stress and anxiety of all that negetive feedback.
This thread demonstrates that we as americans are very passionate....but we can all focus it on something more positive and constructive I think.
Here is a thought.....
Do you think the media would ask Natalie for another interview if no one watches the next one? HMMMMMMMM
I'm prolly gonna catch h*ll for this post but bring it on....
I am just trying to bring up some "alternate" points.
The old saying "divide and conquer" is a very useful tatic..........think about it!
If the citizens are busy bickerin amongst themselves....who's watching the head CLOWNS?
Alan...Thank you for your input and the vid
I liked it!
Happy day!
