Subject: RE: BS: Redneck TV
Ah hem,

The original rednecks were miners who stood up to the Pinkerton goons hired by the mine owners to put down strikes with bullets.
The name redneck came from bandanas they wore. Later other hard working folks like farmers who labored under the sun were also called rednecks.

I bet most of us occasionally cross the political aisle regarding the shows mentioned above... but the 700 Club? I think that polled too high probably out of a religious guilt trip like maybe Aunt Gertrude thought, "I should say I watch watch it the most..." But then again if people have invested heavily with donations they will want to see the results of their charity.

SPAw noted the Swamp people, men, loggers, etc shows. I never saw one about their womenz though. I'd watch Swamp Sluts!
It might be as interesting as Storage Wars which has a a strange and strong appeal to junk hunters, antique afficianados and hoarders alike. You see they open up an abbandoned storage unit and people bid on the contents with out being able to go inside or touch a thing... (caution may be habit forming)

Unless we are talking West Point, there is a fine line between armed Fundamentalist rednecks in need of the only work available anymore and the time honored Southern Christian military families. Down there that fine line gets snorted like a line of burnin meth.
So, iffn no one is gonna stereeotype rednecks today an dish sum dirt bettern than jus being ignorant misoginistic gun crazy trailer kings... Ahll sure give it a try:

"Ya can't hava good ol Christian Christmas without the local gun club havin a Santa you can pose with fur pictures, while holding yur new shotgun, rifle, AR 15s or "semi" automatic M-16. Rednecks today are purty durn smurt and well armed, when it comes to guns rocketry and even computerizin code to make new games.
Shit on a biskut, I saw a new redneck videeo game las Sunday where you cud shoot Gabby Giffords in the head and you cud hear her speech gettin funnier and funnier. Whata hoot. But the one to end all is the Congressional turkey shoot. Once you git all the democrat turkeys you go to a bonus round where you gotta git Barney, Pelosi and finally the HNIC himself. Course there's nothin bettern shooting real live ammo. There's this here creek in Tennesee where you can shoot anything you damn well want at this super gun club. Sheeit, they got stuff there bettern than what we light up sand niggars with in Stanistan."


Oh well if I even approach the actual language/humor commonly found in that slice of Americana, folks here would be so shocked as to write a strongly worded letter of complaint to their modertor, all cept spaw and Raparee that is.

Truth is most redneck offensive comments are designed to piss libs off and are not necessarily a statement of true belief, exactly like Newt does. The dangerous rednecks dress well and have their own group, website and own controling stock in private prisons.
