    Default Are you a Southerner or a redneck?

    Please get it straight: Not all Southerners are rednecks. In fact, true Southerners have serious disdain for rednecks for giving us a bad name. There’s a reason why we capitalize “Southerner” but not “redneck”. But still, bless their hearts.*

    I refuse to pigeon-hole definitions on people just because that is the liberal
    trend.
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    I am an American. Some folks would call me a Granite Yankee, but I am an American .... first, last and always.
    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Yankee by birth, Southerner by choice.





    Certainly not a redneck.

    I am an American, father of two Americans, married to an American, with six grand children who are Americans, and I was born in Pennsylvania.

    Only the ignorant require that other Americans be called names to that identify the dumb, stupid, and ignorant, in order to make them feel superior as SNOBS always do.

    There is obviously a difference between hillbillies and rednecks.

    The term redneck came from coal-mining hillbillies.
