Sure they swept the Grammy Awards, but apparently the Dixie Chicks don’t fly with the Academy of Country Music.:D
Nominations were announced Monday for the annual ACM Awards and there was nary a Chick to be found despite the Texas trio’s five Grammys for Taking the Long Way. The Chicks have won 10 ACMs in their career, including Entertainer of the Year in 2000, but have been shunned by the Nashville establishment since their President Bush-bashing comments in 2003.:(
While the Academy of Country Music isn’t ready to make nice with the Chicks, the organization made sure the usual Nasville-pleasing subjects were accounted for, led by George Straight, Brooks & Dunn and Rascal Flatts. :)

Their album has been number one on the Billboard Country charts for 41 weeks, so I'm sure they have no complaints.

Yeah I'm sure the Ditsy Twits could find lots of angry anti-American "rockers" to worship them.:(
Their fanbase dumped them right after their snotty anti-Bush comment and they never came back. Sure the twits have some new braindead followers, but I doubt they'll be around very long.

voting us out of Iraq any time soon. Oh yes, they RAN on that promise, but only the easily-convinced fell for it...:rolleyes:
p.s. I would be careful with any anti-W/America bumper stickers. Hummers like to eat cars for lunch that have them.
Oh, and I ordered too. I'm gonna put mine on the next crackhouse I see.

They do not approve of Bush and his cronies......but I welcome you to come to my Church and express your views......:p You would not find support due to the fact that you are wanting to rid this country of so many Americans because they do not have the same beliefs as you....They actually believe that God is a loving God! Wow can you believe that....even towards gay people and Muslims! They do really.....we have compassion.....:D

If you want to support terrorism, homosexuality, and criminal alien behavior, then you will have to answer to Him.:eek:

He does forgive the sin of homosexuality but if the person keeps committing it, he is spitting in God's face. The Bible says to repent and you will be forgiven. It does not say to continue practicing sodomy.:(
We do love people at our church. We do NOT love the behavior of sinners.

What she's saying is that she goes to a non-denominational church.
However, even those churches have their own rules and doctrines that they follow just like other denominations such as Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, Lutheran, etc.

Yep, non-denominational churches are denominations unto themselves. Instead of following scholarly teaching and liturgical calendars, they just go with whatever the pastor says. This scares me because that is one step away from a cult. Apparently some of these churches preach hate, and that REALLY scares me.
BTW, I was a music director for a couple of years at one of these non denoms, it was a joke. The pastor discouraged bible study except for the few verses he wanted you to focus on. "My god supplies all my needs" and such. Ugh. I got paid real well there but I had to give it up because of the heresy that was preached.
Another mega church around here, the pastor makes you sign a pledge that you will be HIS disciple rather than a disciple of Christ. Ok, now that just smells bad from every angle. His church complex is growing by leaps and bounds. With his prosperity message (oh I despise that!) the only one who is prospering is the pastor!

That goes against everything my Pastor teaches us.....He has been telling us in Sermons and meetings that we are Christs Disciples! The Church we attended in NV was a non-denom and I never heard that so it is quite refreshing..

There are just the two. Love God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind, the second is like it, Love your neighbor as yourself. (I'm paraphrasing, I have the puppy on my chest and I can't grab the book right now to quote verses).
Those two replaced all the others, I think if more people did just those two things this world might be a whole lot safer. (more boring maybe, but safer) :D
