You might be a redneck...

[Patman]

Most of us have enjoyed redneck jokes for years...but 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. Ya'll know who ya' are...

You might be a redneck if: It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, "One nation, under God."

You might be a redneck if: You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.

You might be a redneck if: You still say "Christmas" instead of "Winter Festival."

You might be a redneck if: You bow your head when someone prays.

You might be a redneck if: You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem.

You might be a redneck if: You treat Viet Nam vets with great respect and always have.

You might be a redneck if: You've never burned an American flag.

You might be a redneck if: You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.

You might be a redneck if: You respect your elders and expect your kids to do the same.

You might be a redneck if: You'd give your last dollar to a friend.

Looks like I am Redneck Deluxe!

Great post, Thanks! I was on two other dirtbike/MX forums this week and could not believe how anti-God and anti-Christian they were. Another reason I think DRN rules.

Then I guess it's official. I'm a redneck and I have no problem with that.

I fit that list to a tee, but not all rednecks drive beat-up trucks, shoot squirrels, say "yee-haw", wear flannel shirts, have beat up houses, etc... I think you're more of a redneck at heart instead of what's on the outside.

I'd like to take this a step further, and ask the Californians to explain some things to me about this. I don't mean to imply all Californians do this (note: we all jokingly begrudge the redneck every once in a while), as they certainly don't, but by and large that area of the country practices what one might call inverse discrimination. It's become such a hot thing out there to 'watch what you say' about racism, homosexuality, IV drug users, illegal aliens, circus midgets, housewives with allergies, three legged elephants, etc...WTF is up with the attitude toward the midwest and the people that live there/here? The same person that would have your nuts put out on an anvil for a 10 pound sledge for talking derrogitarily about homosexuality will hum the Beverly Hillbillies jingle while laughing at some guy at a game with a 'camaro cap' and a chew. Doesn't bother me much (my 'other name' out there was 'backwoods' ;) ), but I'd like an explanation. I doubt anyone on here is that way, but in case....

Guilty as charged.

Did anyone catch CSI Miama last night?
Short Story: White cop doesn't understand Spanish, says to the guy speaking that h should learn English. Gets HAMMERED by every actor on the show for saying that and that he should learn Spanish. Now if the scene was shot in Mexico/Cuba/Puerto Rico, etc., I would have been all about it, but hey, it was shot in Miami.

 

[dirt bike dave]

but I'd like an explanation. ....

Lots of Californians that live in the liberal urban areas such as LA and San Francisco are programmed to think that people who populate 'flyover country' (which includes rural, conservative areas of CA) are hate filled and stupid. Basically, they don't understand you, so they fear you. They think if you were smart and compassionate like them, you would embrace socialism and stop electing dumb men like GWB and Reagan.

I lived in the Bay Area for most my life. If you are conservative there, you very rarely discuss politics outside of immediate friends and familiy, and and just bite your tongue when your beliefs are criticized.

BTW, many of the people who recite the liberal, anti-American propoganda ARE highly intelligent. Unfortunately, they do not focus their brain-power on politics. Instead, they trust the government and the anti-conservative messages that permeate the media and the education systems. Also, IMO, there may be component of 'guilt' that they are successful. So they think it is OK to take away from those that have to give to the less fortunate. People who want to keep more of what they earn are labelled greedy Republicans.

lol, I was looking for an apartment in San Diego in 94 and the lady showing it was showing me the garbage disposal and asked if we had garbage disposals in Kansas. :yikes: I told her something along the lines of 'no, cuz they caan't be brought'n to us on the Pony Express. She was also very proud to tell me that all the 'Top Guns' stayed there... ;)

 

[Wintermute]

So what we need are some good "You might be a Liberal Wuss if. . ." jokes as a counter right?:laugh:

I'm thinking something along the lines of;

If you have ever publicly threatened to move to a foriegn country because of an election you just might be a liberal wuss.

If you have ever driven an SUV to an environmental demonstration you just might be a liberal wuss.

It's is hard to explain anything in this state. I was born here, unlike a majority of the people who now call this state home. When I visit my relatives back east, it is the same for us. We are all seen as surfer bums, eco-terrorist's,or tree huggin liberals.

Yo Homer,Sorry about poking fun at your cousin at the game. is was like, totally not cool,but Dude was spittin chew in his beer :nener:

 

[04kdx200]

Yee-haw!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dang right!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dirt floors and all!!!! LoL, funny stuff. I won't even get started on politickin'. LoL It ain't ( that's right, AIN'T ) the state, its the lemmings, uh, I mean people who can't think for themselves... be on the right or left side, it don't matter. We ain't rednecks......... just decent human beings. Thats my 2 cents, and the shortest opinion I've got on the matter.

 

[cmckinney]

Good list.....to bad more people wouldn't have the same ideals.
