Monster Trucks, Rednecks and why I can’t stand Liberals
Last week my family and I went to a Monster Truck show. It was fantastic.
I always vote Republican but I really don't fit the republican mold: I am not religious at all, I believe in evolution, I enjoy adult entertainment, I would gladly pay more taxes for better roads and schools, I think some abortions should be legal (not all of them).
On the flip side: I abhor welfare programs, I love the military, I love my country, I am a nationalist, I do not like gay men at all (lesbian women are fine by me), I feel that people who seem more educated are far too removed from reality.
At the Monster Truck show, I realized why I mesh better with rednecks and why I constantly clash with the Liberal mindset... rednecks are FUN! They love this country even with its many flaws. Tears formed in many of these mullet toting beer belly sporting men as the Marines slowly marched the flag into the center of the arena. They sang the National Anthem with their baseball caps over their hearts. It was truly a stirring site.
They cheered as the massive trucks threw themselves high into the air over red and blue painted sedans and a discarded school bus. All these "low brow" families were together, enjoying life. They weren't trying to change the world... they were happy.
I am a much happier person than most of the "elites" that I am surrounded with. I like life. There will always be wars, economic downturns, famines, disease, natural disasters and yes, bad world leaders. We, the life loving, family orientated rednecks, do not dwell on the ugly future that the "educated" have been warning us about for centuries.
