Subject: RE: Review: Dixie Chicks Heroic Peace Band From: GUEST,Steve Latimer Date: 16 Mar 03 - 06:32 AM Stilly River Sage, Sinead tore up a picture of the Pope on live television while making a comment to the effect of him being the real enemy or something. I think it was a week or two later that she was booed off the stage at the Dylan 30th Anniversary Concert. I don't think her carreer has been the same since. This will take a lot of the wind out of the sails of the Chicks, I think Rick's idea of buying her out and replacing her is something that the record company is probably discussing at length right now. I guess my take is that I don't go to concerts to hear about the political views of the performers whether I agree with them or not. If I want politics I'll watch CNN, not go to a concert. |

Subject: RE: Review: Dixie Chicks Heroic Peace Band From: Jeri Date: 16 Mar 03 - 08:06 AM I don't think GW can be acting in the interests of the global community. Especially not since a large chunk of said community either doesn't feel threatened by Saddam, doesn't care who's in power there and doesn't feel killing a whole bunch of folks is a really good way to get one guy and his regime, who will be hiding someplace very safe while the destruction occurs, out of power. Even the Iraqis who may support efforts to remove him from power will be anti-American if we bomb the crap out of them. The ones who live through it, anyway. I don't think Natalie Maines was wrong to state her point of view. Everybody has a right to express their opinion - EVEN entertainers. I think she might have said it better, and I think she might have focused on the war and not Bush. He's got his plan on how to solve the 'problem', but there's a whole bunch of people that support him, and they're ALL responsible. If you believe the polls, and I'm afraid I don't trust the way statistics might be being manipulated, there's a lot of people advocating war. There's a lot of people who, in my opinion, just don't really care. That's what I'm embarrassed about. They sit back and say "Heck, he's the president. He must know what he's doing. I'm a GOOD American, so if he says war, then I want war too." They forget the president exists to speak for the American people and not the other way around. It may be the only reason why they want war is that it's just too darned complicated to think about critically. The silent majority is back, folks, and they're BAD! In any case, I think Maines just forgot how much attention is focused on entertainers, and put her foot in her mouth. NOT that she doesn't believe it or shouldn't have expressed her beliefs, but because she said it badly. It's happened before and will happen again, and hopefully, people will look at more than just one off-the-cuff remark when making their judgements about someone. |

Subject: RE: Review: Dixie Chicks Heroic Peace Band From: Rick Fielding Date: 16 Mar 03 - 09:35 AM Wow, Sinead and her tearing up the Pope's picture. I'd forgotten about that Steve. Similar in some ways but mostly quite different. First ya don't fuck with the BIG religions! Her point (certainly valid) was about the Pope's silence on many womens' issues (other than supporting conservative values)......well....that's "Feminist", she's Irish Catholic, and maybe she was gutsy, but (like Natalie) she might have made her point better by (say) sending a message to the United Nations or something. The fact that she cried at the booing, certainly indicated to me that she did NOT expect that kind of reaction! Heck, wasn't Kristofferson the only one who PUBLICLY supported her? Natalie's comment was enthusiasticly received by the audience....but where's the surprise in that? No matter which side of the "Iraq War" question you're on, you can't deny that many millions of people have been out on the pavement.....agreeing with her a hundred percent. I really DO wish she'd simply expressed her opinion about the war, rather than taking a shot at Dubya. You can be more effective when you ain't rude.....although I know how tempting it must have been. Can't wait to see what happens at the Oscars. Rick |

I suspect you are on some payroll-which one?-, and worried about the bottom line, as well as being a certain kind of person who will say or do almost anything for more green stuff, hence your presence here, did the 'Manager' send you, are you the dude with the Limo? This thread is not about G W Bush, it is about a big mouthed babe who dragged an entire state into her foreign public arena privilidged US citizen entertainer put down of G W, it is about the fact that lots of people in Texas not only disaggree with her, but take the opposite view, it is about Texas ain't cowardly, it is about hushing some little spoilt brat who is putting Allied lives in danger by her drunk drugged MISINFORMED outburst, finaly it is about a measured and appropriate response - not the sort that Saddam and Co would be dealing out=a firing squad= though at first that did occur to me- in short Mr Arne moneygrabber it is about knowing the difference between fact and fantasy. To sell more CDs she blabbed and she stabbed Texas in the BACK now she got caught and has to be gagged. Her bleatings about how sorry she is, ain't gonna help her at all, this is War. Not only will Joepublic not buy her shit, I am willing to bet some enlisted babe will take a poke at her. So B4 this is ova, Earl's fate may be one she prays for.

Subject: RE: Dixie Chicks Heroic Peace Band From: Jeri Date: 16 Mar 03 - 12:36 PM sorefingers, so glad you aren't going to argue. I agree folks who signed with the military either need to do as told or face the consequences. But they MUST question the rightness of their actions - at least according to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. People are individually responsible for what they do. If your definition of coward is someone who speaks their mind despite the possibility of being shouted at and called names by someone espousing the views of Authority, then thanks for the compliment! Those 'cowards' are in pretty good company! Seems to me the US became the US because of cowards, slavery was ended by cowards, human rights have been recognised because of cowards, and wrongs are generally exposed by cowards. It's your 'brave' folks who get us into trouble. Not that I'm arguing with you... |

Subject: RE: BS: Dixie Chicks Heroic Peace Band From: GUEST,sorefingers Date: 16 Mar 03 - 01:15 PM Agree with Peter T. Every thing we do or say is watched by the bad people who exterimated Kurdish civilians with nerve gas. If you think these folks are fuzzy friends, you are nutz. To those who say that because the west sold them the technology we are to blame, I say ,they bought the stuff and then used it, and it would not matter where they got it - they would still have used it. Ask youself this 'who looked for nerve gas and why?'. You can no more blame the US for what happened than you can Ford Motor Company for the wreck on a highway. Its not who made the stuff that decides the issue but who used it. |

Subject: RE: BS: Dixie Chicks Heroic Peace Band From: DougR Date: 16 Mar 03 - 01:31 PM "Who is putting allied lives in danger," Jeri? How about Saddam? I wasn't aware people bought or didn't buy CDs on the basis of their political beliefs. Neither did I know friends did not join in a recording session for the same reason. I'm learning a lot on this thread. No one has argued that she did not have to right to say what she thinks. Surely she measured the effect of what fall-out might occur as a result of her saying it. Based on the quote supplied above, she evidently is having some second thoughts regarding the wisdom of sharing her thoughts with her audience. She knew she was in an environment that would applaud anything negative she said about President Bush, what she might not have considered was that she was going to have to face the folks back home. According to latest polls (apologies to Bobert)the majority of the American people favor our going into Iraq and displacing Saddam. She would have had to take into account that the majority of American citizens would not be sympathetic to her POV. DougR |

Subject: RE: BS: Dixie Chicks Heroic Peace Band From: Don Firth Date: 16 Mar 03 - 03:06 PM I have respect for the Office of President of the United States. But—considering the fact that the man who now holds that office has trashed the American economy, squandered a hard-won surplus and managed to plunge this country into a national debt which has never before been equaled, while increasing the unemployment rate to near-Depression levels; at the same time, he is tearing up the social safety net; repeatedly tries to placate the public by announcing the launching of good-sounding health and education programs, and then refuses to back them up with the necessary funding; is giving our national forests and other natural resources to corporations for economic exploitation; blatantly disregards the rest of the world's concerns over the state of the environment; enjoins states and cities to be major participants in securing the nation against terrorists, then provides no funding by which to do this; and then erodes local governments and emergency services of their ability to conduct even their normal functions by activating National Guard units, taking away the personnel of police and fire departments and airport and seaport security guards and screeners; and most of all, is positioning himself and his cohorts to stifle any opposition to his policies by repealing large sections of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights in the name of "national security" (the cry of all tyrants throughout history); pontificating about long-standing and high-minded American ideals and worthy goals as if he were reading T-shirts and bumper-stickers, while trampling on those ideals and goals by his actions; and is further alienating former friends and allies, and the vast majority of the peoples of the world by arrogantly leading the United States into an ill-disguised campaign of colonial conquest, economic if possible, military if necessary, of the rest of the world, beginning by launching a war in the Middle East which any student of history and geopolitics knows will lead the United States and any other country with the bad judgment to collaborate with it, into a decades-long morass that will make Vietnam look like a toddler's birthday party, will further decimate the American economy by adding the burden of a long and expensive war, will lead to the wanton slaughter of military personnel and innocent civilians alike—and will further create fear and hatred for the United States with the inevitable result, not of quelling terrorism, but creating new generations of terrorists. George W. Bush, his cohorts, and his policies constitute a disaster of global proportions. I have respect for the Office of President. But for the man who currently holds that office, I have only fear and disgust. For God's sake, get that man out of there in 2004. If it's not too late by then. . . . Don Firth |

Subject: RE: BS: Dixie Chicks Heroic Peace Band From: The Pooka Date: 16 Mar 03 - 04:09 PM Joe Offer - Aww! Ya caved! Put it back in Music!! // NONONO jes' kiddin' Mr Joe. {Wuttsa mattah fuh yoo; yer not Pleasin' all o' da Peoples all o' da Time, here. Hop to it wouldyez :} Now, Larry. (Sorry timelag) - "...as to Sadam invading Kwait... I don't know about you, but I am not a Kawaite, in fact, if I was and you were, as not a member of the ruling elete there, we'd likely be slaves." Well, "slaves" is a bit hyperbolic; but Yeah, & I'm no fan of His Heinie the Emir, believe me. However: one need not be a Kuwaiti to acknowledge that when Saddam attacked, seeking to annex, that sovereign (albeit monarchical) nation, a then-unanimous UN Security Council legally authorized coalition forces, led by us, to repel the invaders under international law. And, that the conclusion of those hostilities entailed Hussein's binding commitment to meet certain conditions, which he has not done, in 12 long years. (The problem now -- and it IS a big one in my view because I do believe in internationalism -- is that the Nations are no longer United.) "Fact is, the new American concevatives are not concervatives at all, but reactionaries who are playing fast and easy with the elimental rights that define us as a people." I completely agree, which is why I oppose the excesses of Ashcroft & Co. Understand, I am not a new American conservative (neoCon). Hell, I'm not even an OLD American conservative (paleoCon), though admittedly I USED to be one, long ago, circa Goldwater. (I didn't say I'm not Old; just not Conservative.:) But, even we liberals can oppose murderous fascistic tyrants who at the moment happen to be brutalizing countries other than our own. In fact, ESPECIALLY we liberals should oppose them. (See Elie Wiesel's recent statement re Iraq.) "You claim that these are new times." Yeah, sadly, I do; & I think I'll stand by that particular claim. Hard to refute. "...If American rights could survive the war against hitler, I expect they can servive any struggle against sadam husain..." Again I agree, with both the expectation & the implicit moral equivalence. (Incidentally, *Hitler* didn't directly attack the U.S. either. Hirohito did. Oh sure, Germany declared War on us after we did against their ally Japan following Pearl Harbor; but still, did we *really* Give Peace A Chance with ol' Adolf? Exhaust all the diplomatic avenues? Y'know, like France did?? / Hm, yeah, I think so too.) But as to American rights surviving, we must be vigilant against Ashcroft's extreme domestic agenda, as well as against Saddam's & (distinctly) Osama's transnational ones. For, ultimately, the same reason: preservation of liberty. "...I am reminded of American concervatives telling me love it or leave it,..." I would never tell you, or anyone, that. And, neither would a *true* conservative. (Granted, an endangered species these days.)(Hi, Doug R. Howareya?:) - TransIdeological Pooka |

WFB Jr.: "No, I think I'll just contemplate the great eloquence of my previous remarks." & Greg F, hawhaw!! Oui, d'accord. But the House Repubs are upholding a venerable tradition of silliness. Since I'm bumbling down Memory Lane here anyway: there was once an occasion when House Minority Leader Gerald R. Ford of Michigan, in a big speech on the floor, announced his caucus's new program formally entitled Constructive Republican Alternative Proposals. / Evidently Gerry hadn't thought about the acronym. The Dems did, though...real quick... / I say (though reluctantly), throw Saddam out with his filthy Ba'athwater, since all the alternatives are now even worse; and (not reluctantly) quit projecting our frustration & anger onto people like The Dixie Chicks (for God's sake!) and Jacques Chirac.

We both have Bachelor's Degrees - mine from Belmont College in Nashville, TN (now Belmont University), and his from the University of Kentucky. We both have dazzling smiles with real teeth. I actually go to the dentist twice a year to keep mine. He probably does too but I never asked him. Who's Bill France? |
