A new take on the old Redneck jokes and much more touching side of the Redneck.......true too! You might be a redneck if ... it never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, "One nation, under God.." you've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places; you still say "Christmas" instead of "Winter Festival;" you bow your head when someone prays; you stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem; you treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have; you've never burned an American flag; you know what you believe and you aren't 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. 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. |
