Some Thanksgiving thoughts from a blue redneck [View all]

First, Happy Thanksgiving To all,
I would like to share some thoughts especially with all redneck brothers and sisters across the country, I was raised like you on the farm /ranch etc. And heard all the racial crap etc. But as a very young man i realized that i loved all my dogs, horses, equally no matter what their color and never thought about it , So personally i take that attitude about people also ,The redneck tradition is family , hard work and love for your neighbor, Somehow this has become perverted with hate and religious dogma from right wing extremists, So this is my Thanksgiving wish, Please see your fellow man as you would like him/her to see you, Not judge by skin color or station in life but in the kindness in that person, If you still don't get it we are all human beings and one way or another we are in the same damn BOAT!!!!
