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! Photobucket

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.

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.

“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.

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!

Mark
