We Are All Rednecks

My dad sent me this a while back, and I think it's appropriate especially in times like these when loyalty, respect, and values seem to have taken a back seat to material things. I see more than a few similarities to the traditional Cuban-American values I was raised on, and I'm sure a lot of people of different backgrounds can relate to it as well.

Enjoy!

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:

1 It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, "One nation, under God."
2 You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.
3 You still say "Christmas" instead of "Winter Festival."
4 You bow your head when someone prays.
5 You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem.
6 You treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have.
7 You've never burned an American flag.
8 You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.
9 You respect your elders and expect your kids to do the same.
10 You'd give your last dollar to a friend.
