History is repeating itself. Dick's decided to go radical PC, to try and attract a new, liberal, sophisticated customer base. The first step was they told their former conservative shoppers to "get fucking lost" and shop elsewhere. And then the libs fail to shop there after Dick's adopts a liberal inventory.
So similar to the Dixie Chicks, who told their conservative fans to listen to something else, and the libs fail to follow through and fill the stadium seats left empty.
There is really no point in kissing up to the libs. They'll stab you in the back witness the sagas of Dick's and the DC's.
Yeah it was funny to me, when all the left-wingers talked about how the Dixie Chicks would be famous, and even before Bush was even out of office, they fell into obscurity.
You have the freedom of speech, for sure. But that doesn't mean everyone else doesn't. You don't do something that stands against the bulk of your core fans, and then act shocked when there is a huge massive backlash.
And the Dixie Chicks were huge before 2003. Even I, who never listens to country, had heard several of their top hits before 2003.
Yeah, those left-wingers sure filled the stands for the Dixie Chicks.... They completely disappeared for 10 years.
