Saturday Redneck - Toby Keith

Lissa recently wrote a very insightful post about what it's like being the only one in your family to stray from the liberal canon. She loves her family, but disagrees with much of what they think about things political. She followed up with a beautiful post about coexistance:

They’re living proof that, although liberals don’t agree with conservatives over a host of issues, that doesn’t make them stupid, or evil, or ill-intentioned.

Today's Saturday Redneck is Toby Keith's Love me if you can.

Sometimes I think that war is necessary.
Every night I pray for peace on Earth.
I hand out my dollars to the homeless.
But believe that every able soul should work.

My father gave me my shotgun that I'll hand down to my son, try to teach him everything it means.

I'm a man of my convictions. Call me wrong, call me right.
But I bring my better angels to every fight.
You may not like where I'm going, but you sure know where I stand.
Hate me if you want to, love me if you can.

I stand by my right to speak freely. But I worry 'bout what kids learn from TV.
And before all of debatin' turns to angry words and hate,
sometimes we should just agree to disagree.
And I believe that Jesus looks down here and sees us,
and if you ask him he would say

I'm a man of my convictions. Call me wrong, call me right.
But I bring my better angels to every fight.
You may not like where I'm going, but you sure know where I stand.
Hate me if you want to, love me if you can.
