May she also have the freedom to look for a new career.
Letter from radio station website in Lubbock, home of the
Dixie Chick that spewed forth about our president:
Name: LT Layne McDowell
Date: 03/15/03 Time: 01:54:49 PM
Comment: An open letter to the Dixie Chicks
Earlier this week, while performing in London, you stated
that you were ashamed that our President is from your home state. I
wonder if you realized how many Americans would be listening. This
American was listening. This Texan is ashamed that you come from my
state. I serve my country as an officer in the United States Navy.
Specifically, I fly F-14 Tomcats off carriers around the world, executing
the missions that preserve the very freedom you claim to exercise. I have
proudly fought for my country in the skies over Kosovo, Iraq and
Afghanistan without regret.
Though I may disagree wholeheartedly with your comments,
I will defend to the death your right to say them, in America. But for you
to travel to a foreign land and publicly criticize our Commander in
Chief is cowardice behavior. Would you have so willingly made those
comments
while performing for a patriotic, flag-waving crowd of Texans in Lubbock. I would imagine not.
How dare you pocket profits off songs about soldiers,
their deaths and patriotism while criticizing their Commander in Chief
abroad, even while they prepare to give their lives to ensure your own
freedom of speech. Please ask yourself, what have you done to deserve that
sacrifice? Do not try to justify your comments by claiming that you made
them only because you care about innocent lives. Never once in our history
have we committed troops to war for the purpose of taking innocent lives.
We do it to protect innocent lives, even yours. If the world leaders
of the late 1930's had the vision and courage of our present
Commander in Chief, perhaps the evil men who caused the death of millions
in WWII would have had the opportunity to harm a soul. The potential
loss of millions of lives in the future at the hands of today's evil men
necessitate action. In a separate correspondence, I am returning to
you each and every Dixie Chicks CD and cassette that I have ever
purchased.
Never again will I allow my funds to support your behavior. All you
have done is to add your name to a growing list of American
"Celebrities" who have failed to realize that they have obtained their
successes on the backs of the American blue-collar workers such as our
servicemen and women. To Natalie Maines: This Texan? this American will
continue to risk his life to guarantee your freedoms. What will you do to
deserve it?

Bravo to those who walked out on the Pearl Jam concert when the band started to diss Pres. Bush.
