No, that bit is true. American rednecks have the cultural values of the illiterate, uneducated religious bigot peasant class of 18th century Ulster Scots. For the most part people on this side of the Atlantic have moved on, while the rednecks just got shinier guns :P

Yeah, they are a bit Paisley-ite now I think of it! Canada and New Zealand got a lot of migration direct from Scotland and they're ra-ather different...!

#To the tune of Pinky and the Brain#

They're Palin and McCain, they're Palin and McCain
One is a retard the other's insane
To prove they're of some worth
They'll destroy half the earth
They're failing
They're Palin and McCain Cain..Cain..Cain.
