The True Redneck

[Flatrater]

I read this and I must agree with Naki I am a redneck.


We have enjoyed the redneck jokes for years. It is time to take a reflective look at the core beliefs of a culture that values home, family,countryand God. If I had to stand before a dozen terrorists who threaten my life, I'd choose a half a dozen or so rednecks to back me up. Tire irons, squirrel guns and grits- that's what rednecks are made of. I hope I'm one of those.

You might be a redneck if ..... It has never occured to you to be offended by the phrase "one Nation Under God..."

You've never protested about seeing the ten comandments posted in a public place.

You still say "Christmas " instead of "The Holidays"

You bow your head when someone prays

You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem.


You treat Vietnam Vets. with great respect and always have.

You've never burned an American flag.


You know what you believe and you arent afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.


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


You'd give your last dollar to a friend.

since when was every patriotic christian a redneck?

.

So would I.But I don't believe that Invading Iraq equates to defending anything.


But if they started parroting nonsense put into their heads by deceitful and dishonest politicians, I'd still have to put them straight.

If that is what a redneck is then I guess you can count me as one also.

[TRD2000]

haha you really think thats what a redneck is?


i can't help thinking of people towing black people behind cars...

demanding that people of certain religions be monitored as security threats...

insisting that some people's rights are worth more than others...

being blissfully ignorant and unconcerened about the damage they do to OTHER peoples environments...

hitching up with their cousins!


So yall have fun bein rednecks now...y' hear?

Putting that definition to 'redneck' is the same as pointing out Muslims are terrorists, intolerant, sexist and racist.

Pretty much all of this applies to christian immigrants too... and immigrants are like the complete opposite of a redneck. lol

The core beliefs of a redneck are god, country and family. Most of the other stuff comes from these ideals. Of course with anything you have the bad apples and posting about the bad apples doesn't change what a redneck means.

[Robs71Nova]

I always told people I was a Mississippi redneck before. Your list just confirms what I already thought to be true. Add saying "Ma'am" to every lady you meet out of respect, and still holding doors open for others and the list would be more complete.

Good post

We here in liberal Massachusetts think God is dead and the country stinks. We enjoy shoving the elderly, disrespecting our women and we even provide those ig'nant ho-mo-sex-ools with equal rights (repulsive, I know!). Holding doors, saying prayers and helping others is strictly forbidden. Your customs seem strange and frightening to us...

If there was an icon depicting a giant, steaming, succulent pile of horseshit my mouse button would be smoking.

Hey DGB454, I think he was joking.

Now speaking of the word redneck. I never really like the term like so many other stereotypical slander words out there. The word itself does not make sense to me. Its typically use to stereotype a certain group of southern men, but if you really think about it any white man can have a red neck if they stay out too long in the sun. And not all white men are/have the stereotypical attributes the name is associated with. It just simply amazes me that in this day and age people still resort to using such names among each other. I feel this way about any word used for slander/hurtful purposes.
Another thing that bothers me is the fact that some groups use these slanderous words among themselves and when other groups use them they get offended. I say don't use them at all and there won't be a problem. Just my

An interesting thread, but what exactly does it have to do with politics, investments and current affairs? Isn't it just a continuation of a private witch hunt,occuring elsewhere on AF?
