You blaming ALL REDNECKS for one mans opinion, is like me blaming ALL BLACKS for the way every city in the U.S. looks – (Pretty Shitty) Why is it that 85% of black people live in urban, industrialized area’s that are filled with trash, more violence, and more crime than rural(country) area’s? Everyone has a right to thier opinion, and this is mine. I live in a rural area. I love waking up every morning at 5am to feed the chickens, pigs, and dogs. I love driving through my small town waving at everyone, and them waving back. I love being at work by 8am after my chores are through, and getting done work at 5pm. And I love coming home to a beautiful sunset over the pasture and trees in my yard. I also love driving my pickup truck, picking corn, tomatoes, mint, cucumbers, and peaches in my yard. I love taking care of my baby sister, and teaching her what i know. I love fishing with my granddad, and hunting with my best buddies. I love having a camp fire every night in the summer, kicking back in my town. I love going muddin’, fixing cars, and making an honest dollar. I love chewing tobacco.And I love being a Redneck!!! Charlie Daniels said, “What most people call a REDNECK, ain’t nothing but a working man. And he make his living by the sweat of his brow and the callases on his hands.”

BUT A FEW THINGS ABOUT ME ARE… I dont smoke pot, grow pot, or sell pot. I dont wear my pants hanging of my ass. I always respect my elders, and believe in Jesus.

IF WHAT I HAVE JUST WRITTEN OFFENDS YOU, THAN I THINK YOU’RE THE PROBLEM, NOT REDNECKS!!!

Oh. Sweet. Lord. I cringed every time I saw a spec of national news yesterday.

Sigh. Coon hunters.

I heard a *real* original joke yesterday about Barack, Hillary, the Department of Wildlife, a coon and a beaver.

You fill in the details.

I tried to hang myself.

Thanks for the link, Joe, it was very educational… But I notice the West Palm organization doesn’t mention the word “coon” in its title, which is probably how it escaped being burnt to the ground

Cookie, no West Virginia tourist marketing gigs for you

Joe, you’re right … they’re everywhere.

Cookie — thanks for sending me that article! You’re right. I was floored, but not surprised, if that makes any sense.

Yeah – it was the one that ended with ‘he’s just a mistake any way you look at him’

but, you know — it takes a lot of shit to get soil that fertile

I hate to say this, but these red-blooded Americans are in every state and some aren’t quite as transparent.

“I’ve got 50-some guns”

Is it me, or does that seem a lot for one person? I’m just saying…

“Obama just doesn’t sound right for an American president.”

… but O’Bama would probably be fine, so maybe Barack should pass himself off as Black Irish

There are only a few signs for either Obama or Clinton, but in one yard, a placard with a red slash on it mocks, “Osama, Obama and Chelsea’s Mama.”

Even as an Obama fan, I have to admit there’s a certain wit going on there

Now a die-hard Republican and president of the West Virginia Coon Hunters Assn.,

That can’t be real, can it? I think I need to see a Charter of Association before I believe there’s really a Wv Coon Hunters Association… But now I’m wondering which meaning of “coon” he’s going for; might be time to get Rev. Al on the case

But the best quote of the article comes from Clyde See, the former speaker of the WV house:

“There’s a lot of bigotry in the country, not just West Virginia.”

Preach it, brother; I know Florida supposedly has more hate groups than any other state, so it’s not like we’re ones to talk…

p.s. The Cookie is probably relieved that her old home state isn’t the one currently in the media spotlight

Your quote didn’t show up, but oh, you may mean this gem:

“I’ve got 50-some guns, and I wasn’t crazy about Obama’s talk about small towns,” said Sam Vetter, 64, a farmer and lifelong Democrat who regrets voting for Bush in 2000. “Besides,” he added, “Obama just doesn’t sound right for an American president.”

or this gem of a passage:

Hand-lettered campaign signs promoting Democrats running for family-court judge and assessor cluster along Hardy County’s winding roads. There are only a few signs for either Obama or Clinton, but in one yard, a placard with a red slash on it mocks, “Osama, Obama and Chelsea’s Mama.”

The sign belongs to Eric Hardy, 38, a former Democrat who works at a woodworking plant. Now a die-hard Republican and president of the West Virginia Coon Hunters Assn., Hardy opposes any Democrat “who wants to go after my guns.”

Obama “takes the cake,” he said, “because of, you know, who he is.” He suspects Obama for his “Muslim name,” and comments by his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., rankle him. “He’s just a mistake any way you look at him,” Hardy said.

God I hate these f-ing people.
