I have a sub-cultural warning for The Chicks of New Zealand and The Chicks of America. The latitudinal distance and the amount of resources involved in the recording, printing, publishing and all video displays of The Chicks only risks a bi-polar stress for both groups. The Chicks there, The Chicks here, The Chicks here over there, The Chicks there over here, can only disrupt the t-shirt and tour jacket business in both continents. It is a bi-polar planet. If the Dixie Chicks aren't the Dixie Chicks any more, again, other peoples' problems grabbing on to them, I see them as overcoming all adversity and being in a respected and comfortable place. That's worth a new name, as if they finally came home to roost. They're real musicians and songwriters. Chicken'Picken is nice. You can always use pick your chick. Home to Roost, could be a title.

I loved the chicks and am so happy to share them with my little girl. Thanks "Chicks." Love the new name. I have been a woman in male-dominated career field in most of my career. I also have been a lead singer in many bands. I named a group of 3 women I WORKED with at my job the Dixie Chicks, we covered the South. We were the top performers in our division. It has been an inspiration to watch these women kick butt in the Country Music World of were being Liberal is not the norm.

I love The Chicks, they are phenomenal artists, and I loved that they stood up for what was right despite the backlash, which did open my eyes to what a hypocritical country America is. Land of the free?

Love these compassionate. Intelligent. Strong. Powerful women. I went to their live concert in BendOR with my three sisters. We danced we laughed. We sang. We cried! We yelled!!! They were so amazing. I’m in awe of them!!! And they blew the place away! I felt a kindred spirit with Everyone there at the show!!!😍😍😍😍😍the Chicks speak for me and I Thank them for that voice!! (I also can brag that Natalie’s Dad, Lloyd Maines/plays pedal steel on my cd. And I was coming up in Austin as the Grobees/Susan Gibson landed with Wide Open Spaces.

I don't know what Ted Cruz thinks it means to call something a "diminutive term" but I'm not convinced that using that phrase correctly indicates anything offensive. In point of fact, I think it literally means a smaller term. For example, "space" is a diminutive term for "outer space." If that's what he means, he needs to learn to count.

However, just like there are shades of racism, there always have been shades of racism. This is not a binary issue. You can't lump David Duke in with someone's 93 year old great-grandfather who is generally a nice person, treats black people well, but still uses inappropriate words and thinks interracial marriage is wrong. No one is saying Lincoln held the same beliefs as anti-racist people do today. That would have been nearly impossible to expect. He did however recognize that people shouldn't own other people.

For instance, he wrote: "I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be "the Union as it was." If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views." - Abraham Lincoln's letter to Horace Greeley August 22, 1862.
