Re: Bud Light’s Mealy-Mouthed Non-Apology

Budweiser erred on the side of political correctness, ignoring the majority of its patrons. Now it is paying for it. Just as I propose Disney will do as it ignores its family-oriented base for the politically correct minority. —Michigan

The line about a tourniquet is dead on — the limb might be lost, but the point is saving the body. I personally don’t drink — I simply don’t enjoy it — so saying I’ll never buy a Bud Light now is meaningless. However, thanks to its politicking, if I ever do buy booze it won’t be Anheuser-Busch. That’s the kind of bleeding it should be worried about. —Oklahoma

I can hardly believe that Bud Light did not know who its customers were. All those rednecks who flock to NASCAR races and willingly pay for overpriced professional football tickets are not likely candidates for embracing the trans lifestyle. I could have told them that! —Pennsylvania

The “LGTBQ community” is always complaining that it just wants to be treated with respect and dignity. Putting aside the fact that placing one’s whole identity in one’s sexual appetite is not a good way to encourage respect, does that “community” not know when it is being patronized and pandered to? Corporate America and the Left in general are using that “community” for their own aims, and those do not include allowing its members to know that they are NOT merely a sexual appetite but are first and foremost children of God. How much strife and downright evil might be prevented with just that acknowledgment? —Pennsylvania

Re: In Brief: The Bud Light Debacle Was by Design

Conservatives have a way of boycotting that has shown to be ineffective because it is short-lived. The Colin Kaepernick affair brought on predictions of the demise of the NFL. I understand that the organization was hurt in the short term by the “take a knee” fiasco, but the NFL is still churning away with overpaid players and insanely high ticket prices. That is just one example. Call me weird or old-fashioned, but my boycott still stands. The only football game I watch all year is the Army-Navy game (Go NAVY!). —Washington

In conversations with my wife about why Bud Light has taken such a hit due to this marketing ploy rather than all of the women-related companies that have previously courted Mulvaney, she ascribes the difference in reaction to women traditionally not being heard in these cases. The trans movement is built on a foundation of lies, and as it tries more and more to force acceptance, it will receive more and more pushback from the nation. Objective biologic truth will win out, but not without sane people fighting for truth. There are two sexes, and when the mind disagrees with the body, it is a mental illness. —Virginia

Re: Democrats Dismiss NYC Crime Victims

Regarding Bragg and that Soros funding, the Democrats used the same circuitous logic as did Dr. Fauci when confronted with the fact the NIH funded the Wuhan lab and gain-of-function research. He didn’t directly fund anything. He just went through a middle man to keep his hands clean. They can claim what they want. Semantics don’t change the fact that funding got to the desired targets. —New Jersey

Re: San Fran Implosion?

Sadly, it’s too late. I live nearby in Palo Alto. My wife was born in San Francisco and me in Chicago — two once-great cities ruined by the Left. Everything you say is spot on regarding the thirst for power by progressives and the failure of one-party governance. Unfortunately, a moderate Republican or Democrat can’t get elected in either location. Someone with lots of experience working as a problem-solver in the business sector is the only way out, and it’s unlikely to happen. —California

Re: A Dramatic Political Realignment

Education used to be about thought-provoking ideas and exploring concepts essential to societal development. It has become a club into which your ability to regurgitate data is more important than the mechanics of that data and its importance. Vultures feed their children by regurgitation. The real work is in how to find the food and catch it. —Washington

Re: Two Years of Bidenflation, No Relief in Sight

Americans know who’s to blame, and they don’t think Dementia Joe should be reelected. Yet how many of these same people will dutifully vote for anyone with a “D” behind their name because of TDS and buying every lie they hear or read about Republicans “destroying our democracy”? I always wonder how that disconnect can exist in their brains since the economy was SO much better under Trump and they surely can see how little their paycheck covers now. Can’t anyone use simple logic to reason that the Dems are the cause of their current financial problems? If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck, so stopping voting for the duck! —Pennsylvania

Re: NPR’s ‘Independent’ State-Affiliated Media

Yes, NPR is very leftist, but one thing that it does well is present programming that the major networks would not bother with. Because advertisers will not support subjects that would not draw a large audience, we only get to see such select entertainment as “Celtic Woman,” “Downton Abbey,” “Call the Midwife,” numerous biographies, travel programs, and innumerable, varied music programs on NPR and PBS. They could try to be a little more bipartisan, however. —Pennsylvania
