Redneck?
Posted On: 01/08/2008 23:13:41
I know that we have all heard and enjoyed Redneck jokes for years...but lets take a look at the core beliefs of a culture that values home, family, county and most important.....God.
I don't think that being called a Redneck in spirit is a bad thing. Oh, of course we all can laugh at the beer cans, pickup truck and squirrel gun images that we think of, but if you think about it....the following things really aren't bad to be accused of doing.

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 --- and men you have your hat in your hand. If you've
served in the military you stand at attention --- PROUDLY (with tears
in your eyes).

6. You treat Vietnam vets with great respect and always have.

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


Hopefully, we each have some Redneck in us after all
Ya'll know who ya're...

OK....so call me a Redneck....... I can take it! smile.gif

I really like this... I sometimes wonder really what a red neck is, and how much of my family growing up had traits of being one...Not fully red neck but there are times i've I have seen red neck things at home....I think we all have a little red neck in us ...and that could be a good thing! smile.gif

Well, since Christmas was originally a pagan winter festival that was adopted by the Catholics..... ph34r.gif

And I would never burn an American flag, but I wouldn't stop my neighbor from doing it....that's American baby!
