Ahh . . . The Chicks

Yahoo! headline: "Dixie Chicks Bash Patriotism!" Well, this will be good, I thought. Read the article here. The headline may have been a bit sensational. Actually it is too sensational. Natalie Maines does not bash patriotism; she just questions its value and what it means. Quite frankly, I'm right there with her. When I lived in London in 2000, I remember saying "Patriotism is for people without passports." And that was before Karl Rove re-defined patriotism. Now, if you aren't a "patriot" under his definition, you're a traitor. That's a shame.
