Comedian Jeff Foxworthy is famous for his "You Might Be a Redneck If..." For those of you in the outback who haven't heard Foxworthy's famous routine, here's a sample.
You Might Be a Redneck If...
1. You think "loading the dishwasher" means getting your wife drunk.
2. You ever cut your grass and found a car.
3. You own a home that is mobile and five cars that aren't.
There are literally hundreds of these gems out there, and the list is growing as his fans add their own lines. Jeff's success was due to his ability to capitalize on the public's generally low opinion of rednecks.
Like Jeff, Hillary Clinton's attempting to capitalize on the ruling elite's generally low opinion of Americans. Hillary sums us up as a basket of deplorables, "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, and Islamophobic." So whom is she talking about? The following is a list of those who might qualify.

Yes. Lots of them are funny and I like Jeff.
JUST ONCE, I’d like to see him do a “You might be a New Yorker if.....” set.
I’ll start it up. A great one from Andrew Dice Clay on NYC CPR....... “Get up! or you’re gonna f@cking die!”
Poppycock! He's more popular with rednecks than with anyone else, because we relate.
If I understand your "sentence construction" - the answer is neither
I knew a professional engineer ip who bought a home in Houston (large lot), mowed the yard and found a swimming pool.
Just heard Dana Perino say that the latest polling shows that the “deplorable” controversy is not working to Trumps benefit but rather to Hillarys benefit.
In ground or above ground?
Dana Perino is a dyed-in the-wool “Bushbot”.
Excellent. They wouldn't say it if it were true.
“Dana Perino is a dyed-in the-wool “Bushbot”.”
I used to like her. Now, meh!
How about refusing to believe polls or social media manipulations?

You might be a New Yorker if
- in your neighborhood dogs live in apartments and people live in the streets
- you think there’s something wrong when you *don’t* hear car horns during drive time
- you have to pay an exorbitant fee to drive across a bridge to get home (but they’ll let you go away for free)
- every block in your neighborhood has at least a dozen restaurants, but almost none has a church
- making eye contact with someone on the street causes that person to cover his wallet
- moving 4 blocks East/West in a taxi takes as long as moving 20 blocks North/South
- if you find an open parking space on a side street, you get ticketed because it’s alternate-side-of-the-street parking due to some obscure Jewish holiday
- your windshield is dirtier *after* the squeegee guy gets to it than it was before (the whole point is to pay them off to go away, stupid tourist)
I could go on, but I’ve got to go put my dead washing machine in my front lawn
Perino must be taking her cues from daddy Bush. Her dog is smarter than she is.
True Rednecks and Southeners have real class and correct manners. They know that is impolite to make fun of a group to which you yourself do not belong. Therefore, no black jokes if you are white, but it is also wrong for black people to make white jokes. Ignorant elitists make fun of rednecks all of the time, and never turn the spotlight on themselves. They have no class.
Foxworthy can make fun of Rednecks because he IS one. We can laugh at ourselves, but liberals, who swim in a sea of irony, never do.
I stopped watching Comedy Channel because of stereotypically biased black and white comedians who think it’s funny to make fun of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, et al - any state sophisticated urbanites deem “backward and redneck”.
I realize Jeff does it in knowing and loving fun, but the trend is still there and it perpetuates the stereotype, frankly.
But others use it as justification for uniformed typing of their bias.
