Nicest redneck email that I have read!!!

I just got this in an email from a cousin who's moved to Florida from New Jersey. Seems a lot of folks do that when the retire...or when winter comes on.

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.

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.

Whoa. I think I might be a redneck, too. Is that even possible?

I don't know, Erica, are you in south Brooklyn?

Seriously, being a redneck (at leaast according to this email) is a state of mind, not location.

I'm a redneck from the Missouri Ozarks, and will always be so. Y'all are welcome to be one, too - thanks!
