About those REDNECKS...........
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! . 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'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.

Jim Goad has written a book in defense of Rednecks that may be of interest to you right-wingers since it also has a chapter entitled "Several Compelling Arguments for the Enslavement of All White Liberals". But to be fair, Hoag covers Conservatism too...
From the book...."The Redneck Manifesto
"Conservatism is a bedtime story believed in only by fat old grizzly bears. I don't identify at all with conservatives. They're varicose-veined mannequins. Blow-dried crash-test dummies. Middle of the roadkill. Walking around as if they forgot to remove the coat hanger from their suit jacket. You had mentioned the huckleberry-pie, fuddy-duddy, Burl Ives, Choo-Choo Charlie, psychovangelical, anal-retentive, hanging-judge-loving, sex-fearing, missile-worshipping, Satan-obsessed, zenophobic, law-abiding, abortion-clinic-bombing, flag-draping, kill-for-Christ, deport-the-Arabs, bash-the-queers, horn-swoggler type? It ain't me. People think that if you attack liberalism, you must be a straw-hat-and-seersucker-suit-clad old puff of flatulence. I don't think so. Limbaugh is limburger to me. Reagan was a dopey thespian who nearly nuked the planet. Pat Robertson and Ralph Reed are as useless as testicle cheese. I don't like churches or book burnings or witch-hunts. I don't like crowds. period. I hate both liberals and conservatives. I have plenty of hate to go around."
LOL...Unfortunately, the book was written before George W. Bush was annointed.

Ron- I agree. If faced by terrorists, I'd rather have a dozen rednecks beside me. Anyone who can hit a squirrel or a grouse can probably take out a dozen terrorists before they can fire a shot.
profe-
linda- Thanks for the links! I had forgotten alot of them.
helen, classic, cherished- Hello! (I had addressed everyone else and didn't want to leave anyone here out...lol!)

I agree Twig and a really good deadeye redneck and his wife can hit a squirrel or a grouse with their chewing tobacco also.

Does rabbit count? For a few years when I was a kid there was a family that lived around the corner from us. they would bring us their "extra" rabbits from time to time.
At the time I enjoyed it, now just thinking about eating rabbit seems disgusting.

I can't remember the last time I had roasted rabbit. Dad used to bring them home, we'd help skin them and they'd soak in salt water overnight. They looked gross, but the next night they tasted so good!
Too bad the cats keep our rabbit population down to nothing! Last year Pita brought a baby in, dropped it and it ran under the kitchen cupboards. I left the pet door open all night hoping it would get back outside while the cats slept. (I was afraid it would die in there and stink up a storm!) Never did smell anything, or find fur or "parts" in the house..so the little guy must have escaped.

I like to braise rabbitt in red chile sauce real slow in an iron skillet over mesquite....some beans, tortillas and beer and you're all set....gotta be early spring cottontails though, those jack rabbitts are tough as boots.
