Letter from radio station website in Lubbock, home of the Dixie
Chick that spewed forth about our president:
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?
