Dixie Chicks: Blue-State Patriots
Depending on your political orientation, the Dixie Chicks are either the great defenders of free speech or American traitors. The debate stems from a 2003 comment made by Natalie Maines stating her opposition to the imminent invasion of Iraq and her dissatisfaction with President George w. Bush. Her words, "We're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas," started a firestorm of controversy and put the issue of free speech and dissent center stage. Ironically, Bush supported her right to speak out against him, saying, "The Dixie Chicks are free to speak their mind....That's the great thing about America." Toby Keith didn't agree. He showed a Photoshopped image of Maines with Saddam Hussein during his concert tour.

On Bitter Celebrity Custody Battles...ddfstop said "Children always suffer when their adults start acting like "children!" Tax Evation?? That woman is a fine role model for her daughter ... not! She should never be allowed to have any custody of their daughter because the daughter will only get bounced back to Jesse and Sandra the next time she decides to mess with the IRS. Even a genius will testify that that is not very smart ... forget being a genious. It ain't nice ta mess wit da IRS!!'Nuff said!"
