An Open Letter to the Dixie Chicks
Letter from radio station website in Lubbock, home
of the Dixie Chick that spewed forth about our president:
Name: LT Layne McDowell
Date: 03/15/03
Time: 01:54:49 PM
Comment: An open letter to the Dixie Chicks
Earlier this week, while performing in London,
you stated that you were ashamed that our President is from your
home state. I wonder if you realized how many Americans would
be listening. This American was listening.
This Texan is ashamed that you come from my state.
I serve my country as an officer in the United States Navy. Specifically,
I fly F-14 Tomcats off carriers around the world, executing the
missions that preserve the very freedom you claim to exercise.
I have proudly fought for my country in the skies over Kosovo,
Iraq and Afghanistan without regret.
Though I may disagree wholeheartedly with your
comments, I will defend to the death your right to say them, in
America. But for you to travel to a foreign land and publicly
criticize our Commander in Chief is cowardice behavior.
Would you have so willingly made those comments
while performing for a patriotic, flag-waving crowd of Texans
in Lubbock. I would imagine not.
How dare you pocket profits off songs about soldiers,
their deaths and patriotism while criticizing their Commander
in Chief abroad, even while they prepare to give their lives to
ensure your own freedom of speech.
Please ask yourself, what have you done to deserve
that sacrifice?
Do not try to justify your comments by claiming
that you made them only because you care about innocent lives.
Never once in our history have we committed troops to war for
the purpose of taking innocent lives. We do it to protect innocent
lives, even yours.
If the world leaders of the late 1930's had the
vision and courage of our present Commander in Chief, perhaps
the evil men who caused the death of millions in WWII would have
never had the opportunity to harm a soul. The potential loss of
millions of lives in the future at the hands of today's evil men
necessitate action.
In a separate correspondence, I am returning to
you each and every Dixie Chicks CD and cassette that I have ever
purchased. Never again will I allow my funds to support your behavior.
All you have done is to add your name to a growing
list of American "Celebrities" who have failed to realize that
they have obtained their successes on the backs of the American
blue-collar workers such as our servicemen and women.
To Natalie Maines: This Texan, this American will
continue to risk his life to guarantee your freedoms. What will
you do to deserve it?
*******************************************
PASS THIS TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU KNOW.
Added note: I Think ALL Americans should destroy
their music and NEVER go to one of their concerts again. Better
still, I think we should give them a one way ticket to Baghdad,
a parachute and push them out of the plane when they get there.
This goes for all the other ungrateful so-called Americans also.
