Bud Light, Budweiser market share losses continue in U.S. | Business | stltoday.com




I don't, and will not, drink any AB-InBev products - to include their "craft" brands like Goose Island, 10 Barrel, Elysian and others.


A good man you are. BUY CRAFT BEER and buy AMERICAN !!!
I'm pretty cheap when it comes to buying a lot of stuff, but I am never cheap with beer. Life's too short to drink BudWater, Miller, Coors, etc.

Yes. And they stole the name Budweiser from the Czech city of České Budějovice (German: Budweis) in order to market their swill to German immigrants.

You want tighter borders?

Raise the pay rates, improve the training and increasing staffing in our embassies . There is your wall.
Nope. Wall. Thanks.

Trust us. This is our "needs". I know that liberals think that they understand conservatives but, as a former very informed liberal (relatively speaking), I can assure you that you do not. We are not ignoring our interests. We are implementing them. Your framing is merely a sad attempt to reframe our needs in line with your own and your political perspective. It won't work, and such ineffective reframing is what keeps true dialogue from taking place and is a large multi-decade reason why you just lost to a further Right candidate.

I'm okay with Budweiser being the new beer of border hoppers and Islamists (who don't drink). It most definitely won't be the new beer of liberals. They wouldn't be caught dead drinking it.

Middle America deserves a better beer that Budweiser, which is an assured hangover.

Also the Muslim immigrants who have no interest in assimilating into American culture and wants to have their own sharia courts in their communities like in Europe and want entire no-go zones where only Muslims and Arabs are welcome. In case liberals and Democrats don't know, the Muslim refugees are also opposed to gay marriage and gender equality and rape culture is endemic in the Middle East.

The commercial didn't offend me but the libs on this board do!

So true Tom - I sit here and see all this support for immigrants and watch all these marches and yet I sit here and think - why haven't these people been marching for better health care for our veterans? why aren't they marching for the poor homeless freezing out in the streets - many of them children - with no warm clothing, food or medical care - why do they not care for their own US citizens but feel such compassion for foreigners.

Libs - really why is the welfare of a foreigner more important to you than your own US citizens?

It's a beer commercial. Commercials are supposed to draw attention to a brand.

This beer commercial produced a 15-page political discussion. I'd say it accomplished its purpose.

Also got a lot of media attention. My favorite is the Gateway Pundit. Wow--talk about snowflakes!

My, what short memories we have. Do you not remember our entire country is made up of IMMIGRANTS? Our country if one of the few in which hardly anyone who lives here is "native." We're all immigrants; some of us just arrived here later than others. The holier-than-thou attitude of some of you is unbelievable.

My father emigrated here from India in the 1970s. He did it the legal way, and is a successful petroleum engineer. Even though it was very difficult for him to receive his US citizenship and the immigration process was long, hard, and mired in miles of bureaucratic red tape, he doesn't consider himself better than people who came here illegally. He had a hard life in India and was looking for a better one here. He understands why people emigrate here: they are looking for a better life than the one they have because the one they are living in their home countries is full of poverty, illness, oppression, or violence. Are American "conservatives" really so selfish that feel that other human beings don't deserve safety, freedom, health, or jobs? And if you actually say yes to that, you need to look at yourself and your own moral code, not blame liberals for caring about "foreigners." We are all humans and ALL equal. This is not your country; this is our planet.

Why is it so hard for ignorant liberals to understand that legal immigrants are welcomed with open arms in this country. That is the way our ancestors came here. We don't want lawbreakers (illegals) storming the country. Come here legally or get deported. Simple.

Based on the heated discussion everywhere, looks like Bud achieved their goal.

No such thing as bad publicity or bad controversy!
