A true Redneck

This is what Obama doesn't understand about the Common American on Main Street.

A True Redneck -

This isn't your typical redneck joke.

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. 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. (And REMOVE your hat!)

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.

My name is Ron and I am proud to be a Common American. I fought for this nation and I respect her.

I do not want to see a President who has nothing in common with the Common American at all. Would you?

I go to Wal-Mart to shop.

I watch the Major League playoffs.

I work my butt off 40 hrs a week.

I pay my taxes.

I respect my government, but only when it doesn't fringe on my rights and my loyalty to God.

I am an American, a citizen of the United States, although temporary.

...and better yet, I VOTE for whom I think is the most worthy candidate to be the President of the United States.

Barrack Obama has no qualities of the above, no experience, no character to be the President.

Wake up America!

Don't be a sheep!

Another redneck Ron.

Count me in with the Common Americans, rednecks, or whatever you want to call us. I would much rather be in this group than in the effete, metrosexual, blow-dried, manicured, candy@$$ party exemplified by Jon Carry (did you know he served in Vietnam?) and Nobama.

And by the way, thank you for your service.

You might be a redneck if: You’d say ‘Yes Sir’ and ‘No Ma’am’ as a sign of respect.

NICE!

...Jon Carry (did you know he served in Vietnam?)...

Cambodia too, just ask him.

Guess there must be a least one redneck in Massachusetts (yours truly). Shays' Rebellion — a sometimes-violent uprising of farmers angry over conditions in Massachusetts in 1786 — prompted Thomas Jefferson to express the view that "a little rebellion now and then is a good thing" for America. Unlike other leaders of The Republic, Jefferson felt that the people had a right to express their grievances against the government, even if those grievances might take the form of violent action.

He got to Cambodia only after he plucked all those grains of rice from his a$$.

“I go to Wal-Mart to shop. “

I take offense to that being a definition of an American. I do not shop China-Mart, a company that brow beats companies into cheap prices or else they violate patent and trademark laws and work with China to provide these products.

[Reagan Man]

Nice G.R.I.T.S.

I will never be offended by the phrase, ‘One nation, under God.

I will never protest about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.

I pray.

I stand and place my hand over my heart when they play the National Anthem. (sometimes I sing along, softly)

I treat our armed forces veterans with great respect, and always have. My father was served in the Pacific in WW2 and was a POW in Korea. My wonderful husband is active duty military (a pilot), in his 25th year of military service.

I proudly fly the American flag; I don’t use it for firewood.

I pay taxes.

I vote.

Thank you for your service!

My name's Mark, I'm not a veteran. I am Jewish. I'm not a redneck, but:

You might be a redneck if: You still say ' Christmas' instead of 'Winter Festival.'

I've always assumed that people in America are Christian, since I know that I'm in the minority - I always wish strangers, "Merry Christmas," especially if they wish me "Happy Holidays." And it's always brought a smile to their face and a sparkle of surprise to their eyes!

You might be a redneck if: You bow your head when someone prays.

This is exactly what I did at Boy Scout Camp, as we said grace before every meal. And as a Jew, I've never felt a reason to get my feathers ruffled when Christians say "In Jesus' Name" during their prayers. And it pisses me off when people complain about it!

Hey, maybe I am at least part redneck!

Right on, Bro.
I dont go the “ Slavemart” because they are the like the Black Death to a community. They get Tax breaks for a time to build one of thier Big box stores, then when the store has to start paying taxes, they close it up and build another one in another community.
There isnt much I agree with the left about, but Walmart is one.
