Thread Name: Redneck is an insulting word
Subject: RE: Redneck is an insulting word
How about this: if Jesus Christ were to be walking the earth today, He would be telling parables, just as He did 2000 years ago. So, a middle-class woman was driving her SUV to her son's soccer practice, when she's car-jacked, thrown out of the vehicle, injured badly, and left for dead. Now, along drives a country club Republican, in a Lincoln Continental, who sees the poor injured woman lying bleeding in the road, but assuming her to be a homeless bag lady, keeps driving on by. Soon after, a liberal, driving a VW Bug, passes by, but is too busy to stop to help this poor heap of broken humanity, because he's on his way to a Hillary Clinton rally. Finally, a redneck, in his ole' Chevy pick-up truck with the gun rack and Confederate flag, pulls up to the scene. He gets out, and helps the poor victim into his truck - after he pushes the hound dog over - and then proceeds to the emergency room, where the woman, who lost her insurance card, has to wait for admittance (hey, it's the thought that counts). Now, as Jesus would put the question to us: who was the more righteous - the Republican, the liberal, or the redneck? "Why, Master, the redneck," you would say. To which Jesus would respond, "then you, too, go and be like that redneck . . ."
