So ,what's a left wing redneck anyway?
From 2008..
Somehow “Red Neck” has become synonymous, with, the rural uncouth. People who live in houses that have wheels, and landscape with pickups with no wheels. However, in another time, when youth wore flowers in their hair, a red neck was anybody with short hair who took offence to calling the Constable On Patrol a 'pig'. In other words a knee jerk. right wing. running dog. establishment lackey.
Me, having made the transition from surly youth to moldy curmudgeon, I find myself more sympathetic with the old time red necks. Where I am most in agreement is in the realization that you can't trust anybody under 30. Having said that, I am not about to turn my back on my radical roots as did many 60's radicals, like Jerry Rubin, or PJ O'Rourke. Those guys are seriously full of shit.
So where does that leave me? A left wing red neck!
Whatsit mean to be a left wing red neck;
Rich people, really rich people have waaaay too much money. When a silicon valley billionaire guy can blow 250 mil on a yacht that costs 20 mil a year to maintain, that is just soooo uncool. We gotta help this guy get real. We need better taxation. You want a boat rich guy, get a 40 foot chris craft or something that only costs as much as a house.
The environment. The environment is good. Environmentalists, though, we need to do something about. How can a person enjoy nature with all them earnest Volvo driving, clog wearing, unshaven armpits and legs chaining themselves to trees, making sure everybody packs their poop out of the woods? Like someone once said about golf, a good walk spoiled.
Global warming. Yes the earth is getting warmer. It has been for nearly 200 years; that would be at least 125 years before the first Suburban turned a wheel. Get over it.
Gun control
I have come around to believe that everybody who wants a gun should have a gun. People with guns should be allowed to carry them too, but only in designated zones. When in the gun zones they should be free to shoot anybody they want. Sort of like paint ball with live ammo. People with personal watercraft or unmuffled motorcycles would also be allowed to play in gun zones. We could sell tickets, or make a reality TV show. Now there is a show I would watch.
Gay Marriage
For it. Gays should be required to get married. That'll teach em. Why should straights be the only ones have to put divorce lawyer's kids through college?
Religion
Everybody who claims to be religious should be forced to read every single word in whatever crazy ass book they say they believe in. If you haven't read the book, shut the f*** up and keep your bizarre beliefs to your self.
Music
The music I grew up with was hated by everybody except us kids. Preachers preached against it, teachers taught against it, newspaper editors wrote against it. Rock and Roll will rot your brain, destroy your morals, turn you into a delinquent drop out. It was great! You could alienate any old fart with a transistor radio. As I got older I eagerly looked forward to the next generation of youngsters coming up with their own brand of offensive music. So what did they give us? Disco! metal bands in make up imitating Led Zeppelin and the Who.
Finally it appears there may be hope for the younger generations Gangsta Rap! This stuff is truly offensive.
