Shut Up & Sing (2006)
Wonderful film
This is an excellent film that shows how easy it is to stifle dissenting voices in times where passion overshadows rational thought. This was a bit scary to watch and those who lived through the McCarthy era will find an uncomfortable chill run down their spines.
I had never listened to country music or the Dixie Chicks but I must admit I found myself admiring their courage. This is a vivid reminder that the laws of our great land have are put into place to protect dissenting and minority opinions from the overwhelming burden of the beliefs of the popular majority.
As the Bush Administration draws to a close the Dixie Chicks comments will become a small footnote in the pages of only the most detailed history books. I find it odd how those who profess the greatest love for this country find it so easy to hate those who exercise its most valued principles. In my book the Dixie Chicks are about everything that makes this country special.
