Why a Georgia sheriff posted this ‘politically incorrect’ welcome sign

RTO · 11-25-2015, 08:07 PM

Drive through western Georgia on State Route 116 and you might notice an unusual declaration on a welcome sign: Harris County is not politically correct.

The sign, which went up earlier this week, cheerfully welcomes visitors to the county — and then warns them.

“WARNING: Harris County is politically incorrect,” the sign states. “We say: Merry Christmas, God Bless America and In God We Trust. We salute our troops and our flag. If this offends you … LEAVE!”

We need more Sheriff Mike Jolleys.

Remember Kennesaw Ga.? Required to carry there unless the law has been changed.

Oh, how I wish that had been posted in Harris County, TEXAS - most of which is now
greater Houston.

I see nothing wrong with it. Gotta do one of my casseroles or the night is lost. Visitor within an hour. It's been a wait. Shot or no shot, I'm going with shot. Indeed.

Have one on me Wes!

Good man putting up that sign. 100% freedom of speech. If anyone passing through does not like it? frigging A like the sign says "keep going."

Good on him... maybe I'll take it upon myself to create and post such a sign in my town.

Hells bells, this is a marketable item, post them in front of your house for those visitors and relatives that think it's all right to correct you…my DIL will do this to me and each time has to be advised that it's not her place to correct me in my own home…when I happen to drop n!gger in a conversation her dander is up…so I drop it again several times in discussing her problem with the English language; this too is another reason to not be married.
