To outsiders, the word "redneck" is an insult. Let them snicker. Sticks and stones, ladies and gents. To us, it's a point of pride. Ours is a rich heritage. Ours is a history full of trials faced and tribulations overcome. Ours is . . . oh, heck, so we like NASCAR. If those preening, effete Northerners would take a break from shopping on Martha's Vineyard for five minutes to see Jeff Gordon cut up the blacktop, they'd love it too.

As loud and proud rednecks, why shouldn't we let people know who and what we are? The perfect way is with redneck belt buckles, which can range from the serious to the hilarious. Whatever your preference, you're bound to find something that suits you. In my experience, the best source for redneck belt buckles is a website called 2BHipbuckles.com.

At 2BHipbuckles.com, the folks there have a whole slew of cool redneck belt buckles. All feature high-quality design, reliable durability, and affordable pricing. They have a snazzy Redneck belt buckle that actually sports the word "Redneck" in giant lettering, with the good ol' rebel colors flying in the background. Talk about loud and proud.

Another great choice is the Redneck belt buckle that features a pickup truck and the beginning of the punch line we all know so well: "You Might Be A Redneck." Ho ho ho. Finally, because you don't have to be a dude to be a redneck, they also have Redneck Woman Confederate Flag belt buckles. They're pink, so, uh, they're definitely for women.
