Watch out for Steel Balls on the Road
Republican Riot ^ | November 24, 2008 | Julia Gorin

Posted on 11/24/2008 11:04:52 PM PST by Bokababe

The United American Committee, headed by Jesse Petrilla, has put up its first anti-Sharia billboard. And in the Detroit area, no less! The 48-foot-long ad is on the Detroit-Toledo expressway in Luna Pier, about 10 miles north of Toledo and 20 miles south of Detroit on I-75.

Petrilla goes where almost every last U.S. “leader” fears to tread, and even boasts: “It’s up just in time for the Thanksgiving traffic!”

I hope someone asks Obama about this. It would be very interesting to see his response—would he support it, take the middle ground and say it’s an example of free speech whatever he thinks of it, or condemn it as hate speech?

It’s amazing how many otherwise intelligent people don’t see sharia as a threat. I guess our indoctrination for “tolerance” is so complete that most just see this as a different, but equal religion.

Willy: What the hell you need ball bearings for?

Fletch: Awww, come on guys, it's so simple. Maybe you need a refresher course.

Fletch: Hey! It's all ball bearings nowadays. Now you prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads. And I'm gonna need 'bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State.

Who remembers the long story with rustic setting recorded by some 1950’s (?) era comedian which has the punchline, “What’s the matter with you, do you have ants in your pants?” ... “No ma’am, hot steel balls!”

A: Sparky.

Reminds of a lost dog ad:

Lost Dog

Mottle color Heinz-57, manged spots, missing one leg, broken tail, blind in one eye, torn ear, recently castrated.

Answers to the name of Lucky.

what do you call a dog with no legs? It don’t matter. He won’t come anyway.

In all seriousness, Jesse Petrilla and the UAC are doing a very brave thing here with this billboard and they have my respect for it.

If America were still the "Land of the Free, Home of the Brave", you wouldn't feel compelled to make this statement.

Courageous, yes.

But I can' help believing that 90% of the passers by will do so while wondering who Sharia Law is and what did she sing.

Unfortunately, true.

Probably, given that those passers by just elected Obama.

But hopefully they also might react to the words "threatens America" and be motivated to go find out "what Sharia sings".
