Totally agree. Would it be that bad to just have a disclaimer before the show (preferably with the Dukes of Hazzard narrator) saying something like "See that flag there on the roof of the General Lee, friends? So, you see, that's the way it went in Hazzard back in 1979, but it ain't there anymore, so cool your heels, and enjoy the show."
It's like it's tipped from totally legitimate cleansing of the public square to a weird 1984-esque cultural purge of history. For instance, the guy who owns the actual original Dukes of Hazzard car, he's having its roof repainted... with a US flag.
