I'm distressed and confused.  Can someone please explain to me why a person might want to wear the term "redneck" as a badge of honor?  The question arose on a recent road trip when I noticed a plethora of bumper stickers celebrating the fact that the owner of the car was a redneck.  Really?

What's your take on the whole "Redneck and proud of it" phenomena?
