both assumptions, while stereotyped at best, are fairly accurate.
But what do you say of conservatives and liberals then??

look at any hippie and any hippie community the most function hippies = degeneration.
Rednecks usually have a sense of pride and family and when the tough gets going the going gt tough.
I would rather be a bull riding gun slinging wife honoring proud to be a real man redneck any day!

Yes, Rednecks were mostly for McCain. Although a few got together and formed a group:http://www.rednecks4obama.com/
IMO:
Hippies are definitely better. They are usually very educated about politics and involved with changing the system.
Rednecks generally just want their guns, beer and can be racist.

The draft was abolished in 1973. So, the hippies “moved on.” Hippies died in 1973 as the reason for their existence was no longer needed. I am not sure what your definition of a redneck is. I guess U.S. citizens place great stock in the Democrat and Republican labels. Having met members of congress, it is difficult to understand why anyone would vote in your elections.

Rednecks are better–they drive American made Trucks, drink American made beer, use American made tractors, marry only Legal Americans…
Hippies but Drugs imported thru Mexico, Drive foreign made autos, drink foreign made beer, use foreign made gardening tools (for their illegal pot farms) and hire Illegal Immigration Law Breakers to do their work..
Yes Red is better for America.

Hippies don’t exist anymore. They are now baby boomers or New Age so your first generalization is false.
As far as your second generalization, being from Virginia, I know and respect a few so-called “rednecks” and I have no idea nor do I choose to know which way they vote.

Welcome to the 21st century. I suggest you catch up on your social groups and classifications.
Oh I see “felons tend to vote democrat” or “kkk members tend to vote republican” – this is the problem with “guilt by association” logic.
Issues speak louder than supporters.

HelloGoo @ 3:40 pm #

Well….I am originally a Yankee, so I will obviously say that I think Democrats are better. And I hate Rednecks. Although I was forced to move to Tennessee.
I guess it may be true because I’m sort of a hippie, too. Not one ounce of Redneck in me, though. Proud of it, too….

Rednecks are everywhere, the country, urban and big cities. The true give away is the ones in the city wearing a cowboy hat. Being a redneck is truly a honor. You are a member of folks that live a truly happy life. Enjoying the outdoors, Nascar and being with friends. You know how to save a buck and how to get by with little money.
Here are some other indicators with your pets
you may be a Redneck:
your cat eats at the table.
you take your dog for a walk and you both use the same tree.
You’ve ever been involved in a custody fight over a hunting dog.
Yes, it hard to hide it, but redneck are everywhere. The world would be a better place if there were more rednecks. People would all be equal, Wars would be won over quickly, since know one really can afford it. Our leaders would all be wearing overalls and speaking to us from a hunting reserve.
Yes, the true answer to world peace is rednecks. We wouldn’t all measure each other by the size of our Bass Boats and the length of our uncut grass.
Being a redneck means more than just being a country person. A true Redneck is a happy and caring person with a great sense of humor.
Rednecks bring together a community of people who love real American life, fun and culture. It doesn’t matter where you call home, Rural Texas or Downtown New York City, what matters is what’s in your heart”

Funny and some what true at the same time. Yes, I agree. Hippies are liberals and believe that we should help everyone who needs help. Rednecks believe you should work hard and take care of your own problems. I like a little bit of both more than I like one or the other.

Hippies and rednecks are the extremes. Most of us are in the middle somewhere.
Not me. I’m a gun toting, cousin marrying, three first named redneck. But most people are in the middle.

Brad @ 9:02 am #

the only assumption i would make is that people who follows parties are fools.
loyalty to a man (or party) is dangerous (read george washington).
i am loyal to the Constitution.
maybe i’m a redneck hippie?

acablue @ 10:42 am #

Generalizations and stereotypes are for the simple-minded.
Most Democrats and Republicans are just normal people.

FLbeachG @ 11:58 am #

I would consider myself more of a hippie and more of a republican..although I belong to no party. Please try not to stereotype.

serenely, soMEone @ 3:01 pm #

President Washington – despite the expanse of time – was 100% correct on this worse-than-demonic assumption of differences between parties.

Dinkum Thinkum @ 4:08 pm #

Actually, most hippies were libertarian and just wanted government to say out of everybody’s lives

n0spam4m @ 7:10 pm #

Please people
ABANDON The Donkey and the Elephant!
Think outside the box, abandon the silly labels!
Its about real people and REAL ISSUES,
not the silly @$$ labels!
Can U dig it?

Shadow Knight @ 8:27 pm #

Hippies are usually harmless, and do not smell as bad.

Redneck got the gun
Hippie had the fun

We Told You So @ 8:44 am #

and terrorists don’t care and want both groups to die!

WooleyBooley again @ 9:57 am #

Can’t be Republicans. Most are NASCAR six pack fans like me.

metatext @ 1:38 pm #

both are perceived as ignorant/outside of major parties

Throwing Stones @ 6:54 pm #

No, I’m kind of a redneck hippie, which I think is the best kind.

racism is unbecoming @ 9:00 pm #

I’d rather be a hippie, earth mother type any day.
