11. Right fucking ON...

I don't think ANY of us could forget!

[kairos12]

18. Great song. Great album.

[Live and Learn]

20. +1000 I am still waiting too. nt

[Dawson Leery]

41. Never forget, the country establishment gave

racist Hank Jr. a standing ovation in 2011.

[rusty quoin]

43. I remember. It is so fixed in my memory.

Toby Keith shit about kicking ass. Reba coming down on them I will never forget...the coward.

The time to stand up is when you think things are wrong, not when it's convenient to ones career.

The album they put out there post, is a favorite of mine. The songs are great.

[Dawson Leery]

47. Should anything bad every happen to any of these fascists,

no tears, no sympathy, it is their fate. These fascist monsters are on their own.

Reba is such a fraud. She told Chely Wright to keep her mouth shut about her sexuality, yet claims to be an advocate for gay rights.

[SammyWinstonJack]

3. Yessss!

[Kath1]

4. Good for her!

She was right about Bush and she is right about Cruz!

Right on, Natalie!

[MariaThinks]

6. kick

7. Her famous statement....

"Just so you know, we're on the good side with y'all. We do not want this war, this violence and we're ashamed that the president of the United States is from Texas."

How right she was!

[Hun Joro]

27. Not entirely right - W was not from Texas.

[zentrum]

28. Yeah, but….

….he and Carl Rove wanted the RW to think he was. It was his packaging.

He lives there, paints there, Laura killed someone there, he made and lost and regained a fortune there. So let Texas have him.

[Hun Joro]

32. Um, I don't deserve it.

[zentrum]

36. You're right, you don't.

I'll edit it.

[Paladin]

8. Fuckin' A, Natalie. Keep at it. (nt)

[DirkGently]

9. Always admired the cut of her jib. n/t

[mdbl]

10. Natalie Rocks Country!

[SoapBox]

12. Right on, Natalie!

[ejbr]

13. By chance

did she tweet that while in Canada? That would really set the Cruz supporters off.

[sammythecat]

14. Eisenhower

had some wise and profound things to say about war. Today's Republican party has no one capable of such thought.

[Fast Walker 52]

15. he knew real war

[cantbeserious]

26. Sadly - All Too True

eom

[CommonSenseDemocrat]

16. What a racist quote

[ebayfool]

17. Which part? n/t

[CommonSenseDemocrat]

24. The sand glowing

[Human101948]

29. Sand is not a race...

is it?

[CommonSenseDemocrat]

38. Making the sand glow is a bigoted remark

In context of every Muslim slur out there.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. WTF? Not Eisenhower's. Without context Cruz's is not racist. nt

[CommonSenseDemocrat]

23. Cruz's

[Iggo]

22. Natalie's? Ike's? Or Fucksticks?

[CommonSenseDemocrat]

25. Cruz's

[Hekate]

34. You're just determined to NOT give any explanation or context for your assertion

Not cute. Try harder.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

19. A clip from the Mike Malloy Show at the height of the controversy....

http://server4.whiterosesociety.org/content/malloy/MalloyMemories/Dixie_Chicked_by_the_vast_Right_Wing_Minority.mp3

The media claims "this is a center right country" as if it's true.

It's not and never has been.

[hopemountain]

30. so proud of natalie

truth spoken like a maines woman from tejas

[groundloop]

31. And I'll throw out a preemptive FUTK

[Initech]

33. Republicans - all war all the time!

[Hekate]

35. You go, girl! Thank you Natalie and the Dixie Chicks.

[spanone]

37. chickenhawk and one scary mofo

[Stuart G]

39. Great Post!!..k and r..nt

[Dawson Leery]

40. And a message to Zie Ryman Club:

F**K OFF if you don't like what she said, you filthy inbred Neo-Fascists!

[philly_bob]

42. Natalie & DixieChicks also marks a fault line in country music styles.

I'm no expert, but the Dixie Chicks had this sweet harmonized subdued style. Those country music artists who backed war and Bush played glitzy electronic, special effect shows that were difficult to distinguish from the rock and roll bands of the 60's. Almost not country at all.

Whatever, happy to hear from Natalie on this. Both with Bernie and Natalie and Rosanne Barr, I have this nice sense these days that having lived long enough, you can judge people based on decades of experience, on their authenticity over a career, not just the last three minutes.

[rusty quoin]

44. I really love the album post the Dixie chicks dust up.

I would have never known how good they were if all that shit had not happened. There are so many songs there, but might I just say Lubbock or leave it might be one of the greatest rock and roll / country songs I've liked in my lifetime.

[rusty quoin]

45. Silent House, when I first heard it was one of the times one puts aside everything trying.

to find out who did it.

[nyabingi]

46. I had never really listened

to the Dixie Chicks (or any other country artist for that matter) until Natalie dissed Bush and I found that I actually liked their music.

They may have lost some fans but they gained plenty others!
