Actually there are just as many if not a growing more populaiton of "rednecks" that are socially liberal.
"Redbecks" are not always bigoted assholes. My friend from Colorado who was raised in Oklahoma while once Christian and once uber libertarian, changed and was an atheist libertarian when I met him but became an economic liberal after working for a cooporate sweat shop selling satilite tv.
So be careful with the word "redneck" because I can personally tell you they do not fit that stereotype. And my friend most certainly can point you out to famous country stars who are for Obama and do support diversity and want universal health care.
He broke my stereotype I grew up with. We all really are individuals beyond labels so it matters more to me how you treat others, not what label you claim.
Woodie Guthrie is one of the biggest examples I can think of because I am not a fan of country music. Woodie raged against the treatment of the poor during the great depression and dust bowl erra. He valued workers rights and wrote banjo music singing about the slave wage mentality of his time.
I have learned since knowing my friend for 7 years now, that steretypes are just that. Just like while I hate greed I know the difference between greed and wealth. Wealth by itself does no make one evil, abuse of power is.
So judge the individual, not the label.
