The Dixie Chicks have taken a big hit lately for exercising their basic right to express themselves. To me, they're terrific American artists expressing American values by using their American right to free speech. For them to be banished wholesale from radio stations, and even entire radio networks, for speaking out is un- American.

Yea, it's American for the Dixie Chicks to speak out against war, but not for Americans to protest them?!?
Gimme a break!
