Rednecks - the other side of the story

Rednecks - the other side of the story

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.

1 I don't offend that easy.
2 Nope does not bother me at all.
3 I say Christmas.
4 Nope if some one is praying that is their biz not mine.
5 Yep, and I might even sing.
6 I do now, I always have.
7 never burned one, could care less if some one else does.
8 That's me.
9 As long as they do not do anything to lose it, but that goes for every one.
10 Fuck no not if I or my family needed it.

Thank you for that.

 

[bill-pix-trade]

That was a nice post Bill, i am not a red neck but believe in all those things....

YEEEEE HAAAAAAA

I don't agree with all of them.

 

[bill-pix-trade]

Thank you for that.

I bet you don't agree with all of them either.

 

[LeahLo519]

I bet you don't agree with all of them either.

Actually...I do.

 

[Expertise]

Although i'd be tempted, I wouldnt actually tune someones ass for burning a flag

 

[bill-pix-trade]

Actually...I do.

With out exceptions?

 

[bill-pix-trade]

I would love to, but it does not make it right.

 

[Weevil]

That was an especially long post if the only real message, at the end, is that rednecks are morons. We knew that already.

 

[LeahLo519]

With out exceptions?

1. It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, "One nation, under God." I seriously remember being shocked when this became an issue in school.

2. You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places. No, but only because I've never really thought about it and I could give a shit less.

3. You still say "Christmas" instead of "Winter Festival." Do people seriously say Winter Festival now?

4. You remove your hat and bow your head when anyone prays. If you're around people who are religious and faithful enough to pray before every meal, you should show some respect.

5. You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play our National Anthem. This is another one that baffles me...I thought everyone did that.

6. You treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have. I have about a dozen relatives that are Viet Nam vets and and I have an uncle that died there, so yes.

7. You've never burned an American flag, but would kick someone's ass that did. I've never been put in that situation thankfully, but yes, I would.

8. You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening. I credit my older brother for instilling me with that one...

9. You respect your elders and expect your kids to do the same. Yes, but I get kinda peeved when my elders are condescending.

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

Does that answer your question?

All rednecks are morons? Are you qualified to make such a sweeping statement?

 

[Weevil]

Yes. Yes I am.

I'm English so forgive me if I don't fully appreciate the varying degrees of "redneckness"! Wasn't Timothy McVeigh a stereotypical redneck? Is it reasonable to assume that he does not represent the views of all other rednecks? If so isn't it reasonable to also assume that most Muslims are not terrorists and that Osama bin Laden no more represents Muslims than Timothy McVeigh represented rednecks?

Does that answer your question?

Yes it does. Strong beliefs are a virtue.

I think that is a great analogy. Well done.

 

[brokenbrainwave]

what a relief. I now have proof it is possible to live in the south and not be a redneck.


I agree with a few but that's more because it's a common human decency thing than a cutural thing...

 

[bill-pix-trade]

I agree with the sentiments of all of them.
I dont go around telling people what to do and how to feel

Cool, I tell people what to do and what to feel, but only during sex.

Ya in FLA it is easy.

Your last sentence is accurate.

 

[MakersandIce]

All but the last, I'm not going to bankrupt myself for someone else. I'll help them find a job or give them work, but not hand over the cold cash.

 

[LeahLo519]

Yes it does. Strong beliefs are a virtue.

Yet people call it simple mindedness.

 

[The Mutt]

11: You support our troops, and the Confederate Rebels who killed thousands of them.
12: You always carefully check that there are no black people around before you use the word "nigger", so as not to offend.
13: You wonder when those Jews will ever get over that whole Holocaust thing, as you drive your pick-up to the Sons of The Confederacy rally.
14: You have the utmost respect for all who served in Viet Nam, unless their name is Kerry.
15: You always get your sister a nice gift on your wedding anniversary.
16: You want to understand both sides of an issue, so you listen to both Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly.
17: You think the Israelis and Palestinians should settle their problems like good Christians.
18: You support freedom of religion for all those poor bastards who are going to burn in Hell.
19: During Christmas season, you only hang colored folk from evergreen trees.
20: You actually believe President Bush runs the country.

Just when I think no one can be more insulting, obnoxious and stupid than LT....you come along and still don't measure up. A for effort though.
