A full-fledged cultural cleansing of the Southern States is under way - and the latest victim is the General Lee.

Warner Brothers announced they will remove the Confederate Flag from atop one of the most famous cars in television history. They will also ban any Dukes of Hazzard merchandise that once sported the Confederate flag.

Yes, I’m calling for General Sherman’s statue in Central Park to be taken out.

Well, thank heavens we'll now be free from the scourge of Dukes of Hazzard lunchboxes being available.

How does she feel about the JAPANESE meat ball flag, and today’s Japanese flag which is the same as the one on the ships that launched the attack on Pearl Harbor.

OR, was it the Joi’mans who attacked Pearl Harbor?;-D

“Dukes of Hazzard”, oh yes that bastion of Southern bigotry where Tom Wopat was originally from Wisconsin, John Schneider from upstate New York, Catherine Bach Ohio, and Sorrell Booke was from Buffalo, New York.

The funny thing is that I can remember watching interviews with the cast and Catherine Bach recalled that when she went to her audition for the role of Daisy, the waiting area was filled with all sorts of starlets trying to look and sound like Dolly Parton (with the blond hair and emphasis on breast size) and she was this taller Ohio brunette. Schneider says his competition showed up mostly in suits and ties and clean cut hair and he came in wearing faded jeans and a tshirt and with a opened can of beer (won the part hands down, lol).

Knee jerk reaction by jackasses. Keep giving up until there is nothing left. Not a good way to gain brotherhood in this country.

“What is happening?”

America is becoming silly, that’s what’s happening.

I tried to send an email to Amazon yesterday. How do you contact them? I just realized that there probably isn't a website that's LESS user-friendly.

I just had a thought. I'm going to do some reviews and ask some questions about products, including references to their censorship.

I use that analysis, and it stops the liberals in their tracks. When they start harping about slavery, I always say, “Well, even though it was an evil, it was a legal evil. Just as abortion is a legal evil.”

OK, I still want it changed as I despise that name and it is very offensive to me and that is all that matters, right?

I don’t know how anyone contacts Amazon - even if what you receive from them is broken or ruined. The only thing you can do is find some product that refers to the Confederacy and blast away in the review section.

It's been happening a while.

Universal released the Dukes of Hazzard movie in hidef on HD DVD in 2006. HD DVD lost the hidef format war to Blu-ray but Universal never re-released it in the Blu-ray format.

It's a lousy movie with little to recommend it except it does have Jessica Simpson in her prime.

I’m waiting for Daisy Dukes to become a micro-aggression.

If you like your heritage, you can keep your heritage.

Hmm. Maybe someone should make a meme out of that.

There is a commercial in which the Dukes are bing chased in their car and trade it in with cars.com or some other such website. The flag is not depicted on the roof of the car. I never really cared for the show in the first place, but I suppose this deals a deth-blow to any plans to ever release the show on DVD or Blu-ray. If they have already released them, they’ll probably be recalled.

Of course e lose everything in the end. Except tax cuts for the rich and business and any other big business priority. Do yo think there is a connection?

I really do not understand why you excerpted the article since it was from Townhall. com and not Fox news which I am aware of requires articles to be excerpted. Todd Starnes does not require the excerption of his articles especially in Townhall.com

Here is a screen shot from his Townhall.com bio

As you can see there is no copyright on his articles
