Gas Station Sign Brings Mixed Reactions
MORGANTON - As drivers travel north on N.C. 18 toward Morganton, a sign at Foothills Market suggests, “Piss off a gas company. Choke an Arab. Don’t drive. Shop local. Thank You.”
Jeff Griffiths, the owner of the convenience store, said he has only received positive responses to the sign.
Cindy Hildebran says otherwise. She was appalled by the suggestion to “choke an Arab.”
His property. His sign. His First Amendment right. I understand the point of Griffiths’ sign and the message he is trying to relay. Naturally, those bound by the chains of political correctness will be horrified, but they’ll get over it. OPEC’s response to the West requesting they bump up production was pretty much “screw you.” This further reiterates our need for energy independence.
we as americans need to fight for our rights to preserve what freedom from the other countries we have left
