all of the country music stations, media, and dixie chicks fans who decided to "shun" and harass the women for speaking & singing freely are today federalist and supposed "constitution" righters.

natalie is right and she spoke for the 3 of them. how many of us could truly stand in front of thousands and speak truth?

someone commented that natalie should have thought about the ramifications of her speaking truth. well, the country music stations & fans should have considered the same.

true artists cannot truly perform under the guise of a charade of lies.
