I don't think you understand how it is in, Texas. It is a very loyal state. When some says that they are embarassed to live in Texas or embarassed that someone is from Texas......its going to make a stir, especially when they all still live there. Natalie Maines' father is also one of the most famous musicians in the State....which added to it. He practically disowned her.....and the state still practically boycotts everything they do.

See I get the Texas pride and such... but if you feel someone has dishnoured Texas would you express it... oh wait you already are...

If they're free to express their displeasure with the President, then why can't other people express their displeasure with the Dixie Chicks?

I personally don't understand why so many people think they're so courageous or whatever; if I had a dime for every person who has spoken out against the President, I'd be rich. It's not like they're going against the stream or anything.
