Dukes of Hazzard Just Got Yanked From TV Land's Schedule
CinemaBlend ^

Posted on 07/01/2015 9:16:19 AM PDT by Blue Turtle

The Confederate battle flag has been a hot topic in the news over the last few weeks. Some government organizations have taken the flag down, and Walmart made the landmark decision to remove all Confederate battle flag items from stores. However, one side effect of removing the flag from culture has led to the removal of popular Dukes of Hazzard products from stores. Now, TV Land even says it will no longer air any episodes of the classic series.

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn’t a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

- Friedrich Gustav Emil Martin Niemöller, a Protestant minister and social activist.

There are 6 companies that own 95% of the Media. The “gay thing” and the anti-South thing are backed by mega numbers and people with money.

In short, there is money in catering to them. And THAT is the real problem. The biggest problem isn’t LibTard, or Conservative, etc ... it is a handful of corporations that are going to follow the money.

Money is NOT speech; it is “what should we buy today”? And you know what they bought? A once great Republic.

This is from the TV Land website announcement of their program changes:

“The majority of our audience in prime time and weekends are now Gen Xers — vibrant, working adults who grew up on MTV and edgier shows. They demand and deserve a brand that is more connected to where they are today. They are layered and complicated, and their idea of escape is to lean in and go deep. We are a new TV Land for this new audience.”

In other words, they are saying that all the rest of us non-Gen Xers are a bunch of ignorant old farts who no longer count. Maybe we should just go out and shoot ourselves.

Does anyone else feel like we're being reconstructed?

Oh, I'm a good old rebel,
Now thats just what I am,
And for this yankee nation,
I do no give a damn.
I'm glad I fought a ganner,
I only wish we won.
I aint asked any pardon for anything I've done.

I hates the yankee nation and everything they do.
I hates the declaration of independence, too.
I hates the glorious union, t’is dripping with our blood.
I hates the striped banner, and fit it all I could

I rode with Robert E. Lee,
For three years, thereabout.
Got wounded in four places,
And I starved at point lookout.
I catched the rheumatism
A campin’ in the snow.
But I killed a chance of Yankees
And I'd like to kill some more.

3 hundred thousand Yankees
Is stiff in southern dust.
We got 3 hundred thousand
Before they conquered us
They died of Southern Fever
And southern steel and shot
I wish there were 3 million
Instead of what we got.
I can't pick up my musket
And fight ‘um down no more
But I ain't gonna love ‘um
Now that is certain sure
And I don't want no pardon
For what I was and am
I won't be reconstructed
And I do not give a damn

Oh, I'm a good old rebel,
Now that's just what I am,
And for this yankee nation,
I do no give a damn.
I'm glad I fought a ganner,
I only wish we won.
I aint asked any pardon for anything I've done.
I aint asked any pardon for anything I've done.

I am a “GenXer” and I didn’t grow-up on MTV. I watched a lot of old/classic TV shows on the indy over-the-air channels and a small number TV shows that were current at the time.

When they come for my Jerry Reed and Waylon Jennings records, things are going to get real testy.

Good one!

The Supreme Court seems to be making laws instead of Congress. That makes me feel reconstructed and I don't like it.

OK folks.......

I just cancelled my subscription to HULU, which is basically a extension of the major content, Network television and Movies as well as all the Internet entertainment producers. Viacom, NBC Universal, and so on.

I refuse to give them any more money to make more of what they are making today, saying today and doing today. I no longer want it in my face every time I turn it on and stream.

It’s a small thing, but since I have already cut my Cable provider, it’s the only thing left.

More bed wetters pretending they are sooooo PC that they will do anything to appease the chattering class. Doesn’t make any difference whether it is right or wrong. They are so busy changing their wet diapers that they miss the big picture. Not much a person can do with total and absolute corruption of the country we grew up in.

This collective psychosis has lasted about two weeks. Time for a new one. Oh, there is one: Donald Trump.

Let’s yank “The Untouchables” because it is biased against Italians. And all ‘crime shows’ because they are biased against poor innocent people that are being oppressed by society.

So childish. Can’t wait until the islamists take over - the courage shown in the face of the Confederate flag will be something to see when ISIS comes to town.

They’re so stupid we can probably tell them to call it The War of Northern Aggression and they’ll buy it.

Who can forget when Rhett told Scarlett to name her overpriced hardware store “Caveat Emptor”?

MeTv was showing Barney Miller then took it off to show One Day at a Time...

Notice that Barney Miller is at the 12th precinct which is now home to Jamey Reagan of Blue Bloods? I keep wanting to see if Levett is the 12th Precinct Commander.
