We’ve all enjoyed “redneck jokes” for years. In light of the division in this great country and the upcoming elections, 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 the stuff of which rednecks are made. I hope my friends see some of this in me – I know there are a lot of rednecks here on this site! My regards to y’all!
