Hey genius...

I'm a Redneck (At least on weekends and most of the summer), most of my friends and family are Rednecks.

If you don't like me using the word "Redneck", maybe in a number of differing contexts, I don't care. Go harp on someone else.

Yes, I am harping on you. You can't have it both ways. As Yarddog pointed out in post 143 above:

Tell me why your use of the word "Redneck" is just ducky while in the same paragraph you condemn those who use bigoted words.

You replied: Because it describes a specific group of mostly white people who are racist and/or ignorant and/or still wear a mullet.

Now you are trying to defend your bigoted remarks by saying, "Hey, I'm a redneck, so I can say these things!" This is after, of course, you made a bunch of juvenile cracks about cars on blocks and "shooting fridges."

Guess what? If you were black and came onto this forum and made watermelon jokes, FReepers would call you out on it. This kind of juvenile mockery contributes nothing to intellectual debate. Conservatives are great people. While we would never condone any kind of state regulation of your conduct, we will be the first to let you know that your behavior is not acceptable in polite society.
