To the Dixie Chicks and the Rest of You Just Like Them, Doo Dah Doo Dah!

Please let me start this by warning anybody that is about read this post, I am P.O'd. It is probably because it is about 6:30 a.m. and I just got home from the first night shift after a week off of work. I'm frequently in a cantankerous mood after working night shifts but anway, here goes.

I was thinking about an article I read a few weeks ago about the Dixie Chicks. They were whining about how mistreated they were when they bashed President Bush in England. I'll be one of the first to admit, I didn't like it! I wouldn't buy their music either before or after the incident. I guess they are coming out with a new CD and one of the songs they wrote talks about a death threat someone made to them after their idiotic rampage in England. Well, to tell you the truth, I really don't think Bubba is going to kill any of the Dixie chicks. It's my guess that he wouldn't waste a bullet on them. He probably was just in a drunken patriotic rage.

The problem I have with the Dixie Chicks and everyone else that is bashing Bush so badly is that they ought to be smart enough to realize that they do not know what is really going on in the world. Oh, I forgot, the Dixie Chicks are musicians so that makes them experts not only on internal affairs in the United States but in the entire world. The same thing goes for Barbara Striesend, who by the way, couldn't spell her way out of a wet paper bag.

For all of you people that say, "The Iraq war is just about oil," you don't know just how right you are. Since I work in the oil industry and have ever since I got out of high school, I feel like I am a little bit qualified in this area. Most of you have no idea how many every day items you deal with are made from oil. Not only is your gasoline and diesel made from crude oil but so are plastics, paints and so many other things. You would be shocked to really know. President Bush did not get us in the quagmire we are in. It started at least as far back as Franklin Roosevelt, if not further back. And, you can't just blame presidents. Where have our congressmen been? None of them have worked to make American less dependent upon foreign oil. The huge wake up call came in the 1970's when Jimmy Carter was president. Anybody reading this remember the gasoline shortage? Now, let me reaffirm what I have already stated, I don't claim to be Republican and I sure don't claim to be a Democrat! I don't think either party is for the typical working American. Both parties are made up of rich people. Just try running for office and see if I'm not correct. Almost all of our congress people are in the game to get what they can get for them, not for the good of the country as a whole.

Whether you are an actor, a musician or an oilworker like me, I hope you will have the common sense to know that we simply do not know what is really going on behind the scenes in the world! Not only did President Bush get information that Sadaam was an imminent threat to the U.S. but Bill Clinton got the same information and was thinking that he might have to invade Iraq too. Not only did Republicans vote to go into Iraq but so did Democrats.

So for all of you whining, snively nosed, pointy toed, soccer mom mentality liberals, quit your whining and for one time in your life, stop and realize that you aren't the smartest people that ever lived with all of the answers to the world's situations! For God's sake, at least ONCE!
