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.
Some of you are so old you don"t have elders to respect.

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

You might be a redneck if:
You believe in God & Jesus
and believe that others have the right to believe in
which ever God they believe in as long as their God does not
tell them to kill anyone who does not believe the same as they do!!!!!

After reading your post, with which I agree, if someone called me a redneck, I would be highly honored. We need a lot more of us!

I agree with everything in the original post. You don't have to be a redneck to be that, you have to be an American. It's too bad too many people that don't have those beliefs call themselves one.

You might be smart if you can accept change ... the culture, the world, the people and not let it rob you of your happiness and your peace of mind. More humans= More change. Over 6 billion now and counting.

I reckon I pretty much fit the redneck mold, so count me in also. It's kind of ironic that what was once considered a bad phrase or heritage, is now something that more people are finding pride in. It's not much different than when we came home from Viet Nam. If you wanted acceptance you didn't talk about your war experience. I know I didn't and according to other V/N vets I've talked to, neither did they. Until about 1980, when the V/N vets came together to raise funds to build The Wall on the Mall, then things changed for the better. There's a lot of 'redneck' names on that Wall, along with mostly poor boys from the bigger cities of the Midwest.
