“We say Merry Christmas, God Bless America and In God We trust We salute our troops and our flag. If this offends you…Leave !”
A sheriff in Georgia this week posted a sign in front of his office declaring his entire county "politically incorrect."
Harris County Sheriff Mike Jolley told the Ledger Enquirer he paid $553 out of his own pocket to have the sign installed in front of his offices to "stir people's belief and patriotism."
The sign reads: "Harris County is politically incorrect. We say Merry Christmas, God Bless America and In God We trust We salute our troops and our flag. If this offends you...Leave !"
Jolley — who has served as sheriff of Harris County, a community of about 33,000, for six consecutive terms — told the paper he believes the sign is consistent with the sentiments held by a "silent majority" of residents.
The sign and wording may be somewhat familiar.
And a similar sign outside an Ohio bakery also caught the eye of local and national news outlets. The sign for Schuler's Bakery in Springfield, Ohio, encouraged people to leave if they felt uncomfortable with "politically incorrect" statements.
Posts with similar phrasing have also been disseminated over social media as the holidays near.
The original picture of Sheriff Jolley standing next to the sign, posted by the company he hired to make it, has garnered more than 1,400 likes and more than 360 comments on Facebook, many of which are in support.
