Redneck Philosophy
The term “redneck” is often misunderstood by those north of the Mason-Dixon line. Many Yankees misunderstand this beloved term of endearment and treat the word as if it were some kind of insult. A true Southerner understands that achieving the state of Redneck is a noble pursuit. The guiding principles of Redneck philosophy are easily misunderstood by outsiders, so let’s take a closer look at the goals of those who strive for the state of Redneck
a true Redneck does not feel the need to impress people with the outward trappings of their Redneck lifestyle and is perfectly comfortable in an Armani suit and BMW.
The true Redneck is at-peace with the world. They always feel safe (not just because they have guns in every room of their home), and they are not concerned with what others may think of their Redneck lifestyle.
A true Redneck does not respect man-made timelines and lives life one day at a time. A true redneck may put a car up on-blocks for a decade before restoring it
A true Redneck will follow their tastes and desires without regard for social customs and “appropriate” behavior.
A real redneck know details about every one of their ancestors who fought in the Civil War and American Revolution.
A true redneck will also participate in ware reenactments as a way of honoring the redneck sacrifices of their ancestors.
Sure, the tenets and promises of the Redneck Theology seem like unachievable goals, but I’m told that with years of conscientious study and practice, a true state of Redneck is achievable, even for a sinner like me.
I never considered the theology of rednecks. When ever I thought ‘redneck’ this guy would always pop into my head.
