I was reading my emails this morning and came across this one that my Aunt Shirley sent me and I thought, hmmm this is me..I never pay attention to the chain type of letters but this one stood out to me… 🙂 let me know what ya’ll think…
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 Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have.
You might be a redneck if: You’ve never burned an American flag.
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 expect your kids to do the same.
You might be a redneck if: You’d give your last dollar to a friend..
My thoughts exactly. Thank you Aunt Shirley for sending this to me..
Until next time bye 🙂

I’m keeping Paige in my prayers, and you, too.

what a great list! tell aunt shirley, thanks for sharing. peace, always.
You know something, Lady Terri. George W. Bush is not my favorite president and I’m not so sure if I even HAVE a favorite president. Of the United States, or of a corporation. It is so fashionable to criticize him and for people to make remarks about him, my own kids are being encouraged to write poems and stories about how Bush sucks. That’s okay. But, I think that there is a broader picture of some kind maybe. What about Bush, his father, Saudi Arabia, Michael Moore? Are these guys doing something that only people in the Skull & Crossbones Society at Yale University, or the Illuminati, could understand? What about that thing on the back of the American dollar, where you see that period, or pyramid, and there is an EYE on top of it, and the words “ANNUIT COEPTIS” in Latin? I don’t speak Latin. What does that mean and how many Marines died so that dollar bills could be printed that say those words and more importantly…
WHAT’S THE ALTERNATIVE????
SLORC? That’s what they have in Burma, where Auld Lang Syne Kay Ky-Ky (?) is under house arrest even though she won a Nobel Peace Prize.
I think of an Avanti, slung low to the ground, with Clint Eastwood driving it with this sort of stick instead of a steering wheel with sirenage and a Texas Rangers cowboy hat on Broad Street in downtown Newark, squinty eyes, crow’s feet, state highway patrol poached egg glasses, sirenage and going all over the road with his control-tow carry from Junior Lifesaving, Ground Control To Major Tom, put your protein pills and take your helmet on????
Constitutional Amendment # 109: Congress shall make no law, interfering with the right of any person within the borders of the (?), to break wind at any hour of the day or night; and shall make no law restricting the use of the word “fart”.
America, land of the cigar store Indian, land of the hardware store owl.
America belongs to Clint Eastwood, Cisco Systems, and to you and me. The right to wear Birkenstocks. The right to cross-dress.
The right to assemble and redress grievances. Are there penumbra rights in the Constitution that remain unspoken? Kind of like boogers picked and then hidden inside of the armpits of t-shirts? Do those rights dry out over the passage of time??????
The American people say a resounding: NO.
Kim Jong-Il surely would like to come to American and enrich himself and his generals and make all of America a vast concentration camp but he’s um…a pulsating amoeba.
I think that the Marines are a fine institution of higher mayhem.
Bullets are dear to my heart, I saw a few of them in my day, and had to polish them lovingly. The tracers are interesting at night.
Have you ever listened to “Powderfinger” by Neil Young and Crazy Horse? That’s a good cerebral kind of patriotic song.
You don’t have to be a redneck to be corny. You don’t have to be a redneck to want to protect the United States of America. That is some corny shit right there and people don’t get rich real quick doing it but there is a lot to be said for it.
(Raising Hand) I am a redneck.
Well, according to your list, count me as one. Never thought I fall into this category, but I’m proud to do so now.
Hope all is well with you, Terri. Always enjoy your posts.

Thanks
thanks for your comment terri….much appreciated 🙂
Lady Terri, when people read my comments they probably think I am nuts and want to know what drugs I am on but I am not on any sort of drugs.
Thank you for checking in on me. Um, do you think that President Bush’s policies towards our National Parks are adequate or could use some tweaking to get him in line with keeping snowmobile and power boat usage in these pristine areas down to a dull roar?
TTYL. Randy.
Terri my dear, you should not have to think too much about what the President is doing. The PRESIDENT should think about what the President is doing. Thanks for the comments.
How is Da Sharkfather doing by the way? Did his student loans ever get straightened out? I remember something about that a few months ago.
Randy
I’m enjoying these comments almost as much as your post. I love that song “Powderfinger” by Neil Young and have it on one of my posts. Neil is The Man, he knows what’s going on – always has. And he nails it with his music to this day!!
I’m keeping Paige in my prayers, Sweetie. ~ lea
