They Are BaaacK!

I am so excited! I have only bought two CDs since March 2003. One of them I bought last month in Houston and the other was the Dixie Chicks "HOME" CD that I bought the day after the London Concert. On May 23, 2006 I WILL be at a Music Store buying the newest CD from the Dixie Chicks "TAKING THE LONG WAY."

All the radio stations in TheArmpitOfHell, where I was living at the time, quit playing their music. For at least 6 months, every single time I got in my car, I rolled down the windows, I put in one of my Dixie Chicks CDs and I turned it up as loud as my ears could stand it.

I have known since November 2000 that I didn't like the way things were going in this country. I also knew one simple fact. As long as you vote, you can BITCH! And by God, Bitch is what I was going to do.

I think George Clooney, said it best. Many many many problems we are facing now as a nation, is because too many people were too Chicken Shit to take what they saw as CRAP and verbally call it CRAP to anyone who will listen (and no, I'm not talking about the music they play on MTV and BET)

The fact that dissenting opinions were viewed as unpatriotic or un-American goes against everything this country is actually about. We are supposed to be about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We are supposed to be diverse and tolerant. My friends, this country has turned to the exact opposite.

Diversity is viewed as incorrect, tolerance is a thing of the past, freedom of speech has been ripped apart by wires and listening ears, and happiness.. none to be found. We have courts taking away our fundamental rights to decide what to do with our own bodies, and governmental agencies ignoring large numbers of people, homes and businesses flooded by a body of water, and our own government wanting to hand over the administration of our Ports to our ENEMIES.

We have people who have no clue as to tolerance and want their beliefs forced on ours, like the newest lawsuit claiming that a "moment of silence" in schools is unconstitutional. We have retail outlets selling "Holiday Trees" and we have an age of no personal responsibility, "McDonald's made me fat."

Well, let me just say. As a Christian, I'm sick and tired of MY rights being infringed upon because someone doesn't want to keep their mouth shut for a moment. I refuse to frequent businesses who change their advertising to accomodate those with zero tolerance. And I want to slap the person who said they are fat after visiting the golden arches. I, personally, refuse to eat at McDonald's but I know for a fact that the Humburgular and Ronald didn't come get your ass and drag you with a rope to their hillbilly heaven and shove their nasty food down your throat. I'm also fed up with a few people at my work who think I should drop everything the second SatanCo. (oops, I mean Mal Wart) wants something.

I posted a few hours ago about being in a FUNK. How I have absolutely no desire to do anything. How nothing excites me and how I am miserable. I need a purpose and I need something to inspire me. Well, the news about this new CD inspired me for just a few minutes to crank out two posts in one day. Who'da Thunk It?
