When you grew up being one and it was not a derogatory term. The neck was red because there was short, trimmed hair and one worked in the sun. All farmers had red necks at the time. They didn't have cabs nor shades on tractors. If you worked in a field....your neck was red. A field worker.
So....if you work in a field and have short hair......you're a redneck.
If you are old and have a sun leather-ed neck....you're a redneck. Retired redneck.
The modern redneck is a yuppie. You see rebel flags with "redneck" on them, but you don't see anything about "hillbilly pride" because nobody really... I don't know. To me, a real hillbilly is someone who lives for the hills, who really does care for their fellow man and their land.
I like hillbillies. I feel like I'm a hillbilly. I might not dress like one, but you can tell by my accent—anywhere I go, people say, "You're from West Virginia, aren't you?"

I post on another forum and most or I should say a lot of them live in the U.K. I was starting to wonder if there were any sane people even over there. They don't like guns, they let their government allow other people from other countries tell them what to do, have mini countries inside their own borders and they are open (it's madness gone amuck} Thank God for Donald Trump over here and "Trying" to straighten out all the messes the democrats have placed our (my) country in. I'm sorry your not allowed to own guns over there, the bad guys don't go by those rules but your government forces you to. Your welcome anytime you decide to come over, you can give up on them cos they've already gave up on you. the first way you control you people is to take away their way to fight back (which they have) then you remove their rights one by one starting with religion and working your way from there. our leaders want to allow Illegal Aliens to come in because they can't win if they go by their beliefs and policies so they get people to come here illegally and now are trying to give them voting rights and hand outs to make sure they vote for them. cos no matter what the media says about us we're not as stupid as they would like us to be and we didn't fall for it.Robin Mitchell said:@Berzerker If I could choose to live anywhere in the world.... it would be America!

When the flames came up to his neighborhood in the central part of Paradise, Weldon grabbed a garden hose and beat back the blaze. When the hose line cut out, he started throwing buckets of water, five gallons at a time. His home was spared, but everything around him was wiped out.
Two weeks later, Weldon is still at his house, one of a small group of self-proclaimed “mountain boys” who have defied evacuation orders and are surviving on meat stored in their generator-powered freezers, bagged lunches dropped off by PG&E crews and supplies provided by a mysterious band of volunteers that Weldon calls “the redneck underground.”
...
Weldon said he has plenty of food to stay as long as he wants. The underground volunteer group brought him 25 pounds of tri-tip steak, 10 pounds of chicken, rice, beans and vegetables.
A confession and an Outing@Wendy Yes ma'am. I will restrain my political beliefs. But the hominem part I don't get, I did not attack "someone" in my post.
I disagreed with a policy and thought I posted that way. Just asking your not a Trump Hater are you? Some people can't handle it when you mention his name.
I did not know politics was off limits and thought this thread was for other things not electronically based.
