Thread Name: Linda Ronstadt pulls a Dixie Chicks
Subject: RE: Linda Ronstadt pulls a Dixie Chicks
Ronstadt had every right to speak out. The casino had every right to fire her. Now folks have every right to make some choices. But unfortunately my liberal brethren and sistren are great at running their mouths about how angry they are, and how this country is turning to shit in front of us, but not very good at acting. If all those folks that went to see Fahrenheit 9/11 were to take the simple step of writing the casino owner and telling him that we will never set foot in his casino again while he is there, and then stuck to it, that would be the end of this kind of shit. You see, folks, one can be controversial, as long is one is willing to walk the walk. The conservatives in middle America do this very well. How about the rest of us?
