Rednecks: The other side of the coin

BabyRider · Post by **BabyRider** » Tue Jul 26, 2005 5:42 pm

We have enjoyed the redneck jokes for years. It's time to take a

reflective look at the core beliefs of a culture that values home,

Family, country and God. If I had to stand before a dozen terrorists who

threaten my life, I'd choose a half dozen or so rednecks to back me up.

Tire irons, squirrel guns and grit -- that's what rednecks are made of.

I hope I am one of those. If you feel the same, pass this on to your

redneck friends. Y'all know who ya' are...

You might be a Redneck if:

1. It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, "One

nation, under God."

2. You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted

in public places.

3. You still say "Christmas" instead of "Winter Festival."

4. You remove your hat and bow your head when anyone prays.

5. You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play our

National Anthem.

6. You treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have.

7. You've never burned an American flag, but would kick someone's

ass that did.

8. You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no

matter who is listening.

9. You respect your elders and expect your kids to do the same.

10. You'd give your last dollar to a friend.

I like those BR! They are good points showing that just because you're a "redneck" doesn't mean you don't have solid character and honor. Good stuff!

Of course, being from northern Louisiana, I belong to that elite group of rednecks known as coonass.

I wonder what the British equivalant of a redneck is?

Do you have a name for your country folk of strong back and stronger spirit?

Until today, for some reason, I never have thought of myself as a Redneck. Now I'm a Redneck, Fundamentalist Messianic Christian , Conservative, Patriotic Zealot...for those who must label everything.
