DIXIE CHICKS QUESTION YOUR PATRIOTISM

By Michelle Malkin • June 17, 2006 09:57 AM

But don’t question theirs (gallon-sized hat tip: Coalition of the Swilling)…

The Chicks can’t hide their disgust at the lack of support they received from other country performers. “A lot of artists cashed in on being against what we said or what we stood for because that was promoting their career, which was a horrible thing to do,” says Robison.

“A lot of pandering started going on, and you’d see soldiers and the American flag in every video. It became a sickening display of ultra-patriotism.”

“The entire country may disagree with me, but I don’t understand the necessity for patriotism,” [Natalie] Maines resumes, through gritted teeth. “Why do you have to be a patriot? About what? This land is our land? Why? You can like where you live and like your life, but as for loving the whole country… I don’t see why people care about patriotism.”

Here are country singers who aren’t sickened by their country.
