The Dixie Chicks are entitled to their opinions about President Bush and the war, but they better not start complaining that people don’t like them again, after making statements like this:
“The entire country may disagree with me, but I don’t understand the necessity for patriotism,” [Natalie] Maines resumes, through gritted teeth. “Why do you have to be a patriot? About what? This land is our land? Why? You can like where you live and like your life, but as for loving the whole country? I don’t see why people care about patriotism.”
Well, Natalie, perhaps people care about patriotism because they love the fact that they live in a country where people are free to make stupid statements like yours without feat of the secret police taking them away in the middle of the night.
More on this from Michelle Malkin.
I guess if you can’t debate the merits of the war in Iraq you can pile on the Dixie Chicks.

Greg,
Natalie Mains can say whatever she wants. I don’t care. I just don’t want to hear her cry when people decide not to buy their albums or go to their concerts because of what she says. That’s their right too.
Just Call Them The Dixie Victims
You know, I would have thought that these girls might have learned to shut up by now — you are entitled to your opinion, but how where and when you express them can have consequences. But no, Natalie Maines has…
And they wonder why people in the US aren’t buying their concert tickets…
Clueless:
iIsn’t there a physical limit on how stupid one person can be? Between the lot of them the Dixie Chicks can’t come up with two IQ points to rub together.
