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!”

Harris County Sheriff Mike Jolley put up the sign because, he said, over the years he has seen “the silent majority” grow even “more silent.” He thought it was time to speak up.

I love the south. I think he has some very good points. I'm just wondering how far his non-political correctness goes.

I totally support our troops, trust in God but I want God to bless all, not just America

I'm trying to figure that out myself. Supporting the troops has never been politically incorrect. I know some people don't say Merry Christmas due to the different religions who celebrate in other ways.

God blesses all through his emissary, the Pope. <EOM>

The way the troops were treated was inexcusable. I've met some and listened to their stories.

True

They should have protested the war, not the soldiers fighting it.
