The Liberal politically correctness has gone far beyond being annoying and disgusting. They have made it puke inducing.Past time to take our country back!

Twelve years ago, members of the Blue Collar Comedy troupe gave America some insight into what the new wave of “political correctness” could do to the entertainment industry. They were ahead of their time with this skit, since “political correctness” is an unfortunate reality these days.

Without knowing the video’s age, it would seem to be in direct response to the Confederate flag being removed from the famous General Lee car from “Dukes of Hazard,” though that’s hardly the only thing they harp on.

It starts with Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy talking in a bar about the upcoming 2005 “Dukes of Hazzard" film and how “political correctness” would ruin it. Reality tells us they weren’t wrong.
