GUEST,Barry Finn, on another's pc Linda Ronstadt pulls a Dixie Chicks (156* d) RE: Linda Ronstadt pulls a Dixie Chicks 20 Jul 04


My taxes weren't meant for me to have to pay the Rum Don for singing his political shit when I only wanted to listen to & tune into what's happening with our goverment, not interested in being subjected (but, none the less, I was) to the musical claptrap that comes out of his piehole. I demand my tax money back & I demand he should have his goverment contract decleared null & void for acts of treason & terror & that clear channel should pull his spot nation wide. And lastly I demand that the bastard be escorted out of the country & he be stripped of his citizenship, that's right for singing his opinion.

A Patriot is, IMHO, someone who'll, in the face of certain death, say "I regret that I have one life to give for my country", or scream their opposition to "taxes without represention" or fight for women's right to vote or for the equality of all. It's easy to shut up when you're being told to "shut up". It's easy to condem a class of people that have no education, who'll die before their time for lack of some form of heath plan, who live with hunger, who have had their voice & their vote stolen from them, who'll be the uncared for front line cannon fodder in some distant land where they don't understand the language, religion, history or culture. But it's hard, very hard & sometimes damn near impossible to speak & stand up against war & the horrors of humanity without having your name dragged through the mud or your means of livelyhood taken or being blackballed or detained incognito, indefinitly.

Go on Linda, you go girl, she got her beliefs (weither possitive or not) out to a country where now such disagreement can become a death sentence.

We have not seen the likes of Mike Moore in quite some time & if the goverment could have it's way we won't see or hear from his like again. Only history will write him as a patriot or a traitor. But if I'm right my guess he'll be written in as a one of many brave Americans who saw injustice & tried to write it.
