What the hell does her show being cancelled (which by the way, last time I checked, was picked for 13 more episodes)and DC album being #1 have to do with anything?
Everyone has their own opinions. Just because she still supports Bush, she hates America? That makes absolutely no sense.
I'm a Southern Democratic who does not support Bush or the war. What kind of person does that make me?
She's still my favorite singer, whether I agree with her politics or not.

First, until the late 1960's the south voted democrat. The Democratic party was the party for white supremacist (Orel Faubus, Strom Thurmond, George Wallace). Now, these may be southern politicians but it shows how ignorance cannot be subject to party lines.
And as far as the droput rates go look at places like Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, New York. Minorities have some of the highest dropout rates who happen to vote (majority) democrat. Although most minorities have better chances (as well as whites) to succeed in smaller towns especially suburban areas. And Im not making a generalization about minorities, just about large cities. In fact, most small communites in the south have very low dropout rates, unwanted pregnancy, drug use, and higher GPA's. These small "backwards" suburbs and rural towns happen to have conservative values, which in my opinion keeps the community close and with high morals and ethics.
Dont forget that one of the most beloved Democratic presidents of the twentieth century was from one of these backwards states.
You cant make generalizations about the party lines, there is a far right and far left that is constantly portrayed as the majority. Whether its the bible preaching "right" or drum beating hippy "left" we are both lumped with these people. Remember that Reagan was hated during his term and is considered now to be a great president. All of the same things said about Reagan are being said about Bush.
Just because someone supports our president does not mean she hates America, and the same goes for someone who dislikes Bush. We all obviously love America, if we didnt we wouldnt be so passionate about the way we feel. -

Everybody makes mistakes. She's wrong on the president and support of his ill directed war. However, she is right with Habitat for Humanity. Maybe she can go with a smart project and move forward. Come on folks -

Politics. I really don't care. Politics do NOT make a person. I'm sure you don't know that she donates a LOT of money to good causes. I for one am proud of Reba for donating unlike many other celebrities who look out for themselves.

not that it'll matter since you ALL obviously have your heads up your butts, but I can say as a republican real Christian, George Bush is anything but Christian and he is the biggest joke ever to step foot in the office of the president.
it's sad how "television christians" are giving the real followers of Jesus such a bad name. I'm almost scared to let people know I'm a Christian because they think of people like Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell, who are NOT Christian AT ALL.
In fact. I believe they do the devils work.
something has to change in America or in 15 years, America WILL NOT exist
so you can either sit inside all day talking about how much you hate liberals, or how much you hate conservatives, or you can all get off your time wastings butts and make a change!!
that or die when it all hits the fan -

No, I honestly don't have my head up my ass. If you're referring to my posts deriding "quikhorsey," I don't think one has to be conceited and egotistical and such to find that poster irritating/an easy target.
I agree that Bush is hardly Christian, from what I understand about Christianity. Unfortuntely for the sincere, kind-hearted, well-meaning Christians, I've encountered plenty who buy into Dubya's brand of Christinaity, which I don't think should be considered as such. (Have you ever heard Eliza Gilkyson's "Man of God"? You might really appreciate it as a Christian against Bush).
I'm getting more and more off-topic, but it amazes me that Robertson has the audacity to call himself a follower of Jesus when he promoted assassinating someone. Crazy.

What the hell is wrong with all of you. I hate democrats and republicans equally, but i do think they both have good things to say. I think it's ridiculous to think that one answer is appropriate for every situation, we're human beings not amoeba.
