When is expressing your own 1st amendmant rights (as in booing) repressing

Well since that is a fantasy that isn't going to come true, keep dreaming.
How many of the dems predictions on political races have been accurate over
the past 10 years? I think you batting average is severly lacking, so I'll
stick with odds makers in vegas who are betting on George.

The problem isn't that performers sing others music, the Dixie Chicks don't
write ANY of their own music. While I believe they are extremely talented,
it is a long standing tradition in country music to write at least some of
your own stuff.

That I would like to see, care to figure out how the rest of the country
will survive with no petroleum products. Think on that one for a while.
The country needs Texas a whole lot more than Texas needs the country. Not
that implying any lack of patriotism here. We are proud to be Americans,
the previous comment is purely based on the economics of your statement in
regards to how the country would fare without us.

That is not denying them their rights, merely expressing ours.
