A Different Slant on Rednecks........

I've never thought of myself as a Red Neck but according to this email....I am one, are you?

You might be a redneck....with a new twist

This is for all of my “RED NECK” friends and family… some of whom don’t think of themselves as being red necks.

Nicest redneck email that I have received..

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 terroris ts 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. 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 our armed forces veterans with great respect, and always have.



You might be a redneck if: You've never burned an American flag, nor intend to.



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 raised your kids to do the same.



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



If you got this email from me, it is because I believe that you, like me, have just enough Red Neck in you to have the same beliefs as those talked about in this email.



God Bless the USA

Dear Betty, there is no doubt about it, I am as red neck as they come. I am thankful that God made me that way. Great Post. Have a very good day. connie

As I am not an American I cannot possibly be a redneck but I answered most of the questions with yes. Can I be an honorary redneck then? ;-)

A very Blissful New year to you and yours!

Hello Betty,
It's nice to meet you and thanks for your comment on my post about President Bush. I was surprised as I made that post almost three months ago! From what I see, you and I share the same values and beliefs. Again, thanks!

I'm a southern girl that has always denied being a redneck, but with these definitions...I may have to reconsider!
