We the people of the United States are going to face shortages and make sacrifices over the war with Iraq. Most of these shortages and sacrifices will be self imposed, as the list of stuff and people being boycotted grows daily. The most recent idiots on the American scene are the Dixie Chicks. Theirs were no ordinary run of the mill celebrity brainless declaration, no…..the Dixie Chicks were on foreign soil declaring for the international community their disdain for the President of the United States. In all fairness, it was only one of the three making the pronouncement, but the fallout will reduce the revenue flow to all three.

I for one would love to be a fly on the wall when the rest of the 'Chicks' realized the damage done and confronted their lead singer. This is a country music act. They are from Texas. The President of the United States is from Texas. The people of Texas overwhelmingly like and respect him. A super majority of country music fans like and respect him. Hello? Any brain cells still working in that girl's head? You know what you call a blond setting her own house on fire? A Dixie Chick. I almost wish I were a fan. Then I could pass on buying their concert tickets and CDs. No longer will I buy products endorsed by, go to movies staring or watch television shows that include, Susan Sarandon, Martin Sheen, Danny Glover, Barbara Streisand, Mike Farrell, Tim Robbins, Rob Reiner, Janeane Garofalo, Richard Gere, Sean Penn, Dustin Hoffman and George Clooney. They join Alec (I am on Hollywood Squares) Baldwin. Pretty soon my family won't be going to movies at all. Guess I can catch up on my reading. It's sad that people who are rich because of the American system of government and economics has afforded them the opportunity to pile cash into their bank accounts have such a low opinion of our country. I hope the conservative half of this nation stops spending their money on anything that benefits these folks. I would love to see repossessions of extravagant wealth because no one shows up at the theaters to see the latest violent movie hero played by a quivering pacifist.

I'm also on board with not buying from the France. No wine, no perfume, no French fashions, no French blend coffees, no French food, and no staying in Motel 6. Not that I would ever stay in a Motel 6 in the first place. I urge people to go visit the United Kingdom if they want to take a European vacation. Go see the castles of Scotland, see Loch Ness, Ireland is a beautiful place…go there. I think we have a real shot for the boycotts of all that is un-American, Anti-American and simply opinions based on stupidity, to have an impact. Let's shut down the movie theaters, lower the cost of TV advertising and empty the concert halls. The celebrities have a right to their opinion as do the French and I have an equal right to ignore their existence.
