07.11.05 || American PrideI’m not sure how this email I got has to do with rednecks directly, but I'd say I agree with these statements. I'd say these statements should be valid, in your view, if you truly are a proud American and don’t want others harshly pushing their views on you. Lets state this again too, I did not write this! I don’t even agree that it should be related to ‘rednecks’ at all, nor do I consider myself or anyone who does believe this a ‘redneck’. Just because I did not write it I don’t want to change it, so see what you think of it…

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 A_ _ 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.
If you got this email from me, it is because I believe that you, like me, have just enough redneck in you to have the same beliefs as those talked about above.
God Bless you and the USA! I can honestly answer yes to all 10 ... Must be a redneck :-) have a great weekend.
