The Liberal RednecksтАФa Southern-based stand-up comedy group known for their scathing political satireтАФcelebrate all thatтАЩs good about Dixie while leading a progressive revolution toward a New South.
The American South is home to some of the best music, cuisine, athletics, whiskey, and weather the country has to offer, but its reputation as a haven for its тАЬright-wing, Bible-beatinтАЩ, assault-rifle-totinтАЩтАЭ citizens precedes itтАФand, according to the Liberal Rednecks, rightfully so. Yet, as they explain it, the situation in the South is far more complex than тАЬhypocritical, nose-up-in-the-air YankeesтАЭ give it credit for. And they should knowтАФthey are native sons.
Whip-smart, hilarious, and incisive, the Liberal Rednecks are lifelong, down-home Southern boys who arenтАЩt afraid to call out the outdated traditions and intolerant attitudes of their native landтАФwhile also shining a proud light on the most misunderstood region of the country. Their mission: to provide a manifesto for young progressives south of the Mason-Dixon line to rise up and claim their homelandтАФwithout abandoning the best of their culture.
Exploring race, class, guns, religion, drug addiction, alcoholism, and homophobia, the Liberal Rednecks tell it like it is while challenging stereotypes at every turn. Fresh, funny, and surprising, The Liberal Redneck Manifesto gives us a vision of Dixieland as it exists nowтАФand what it could become.
