Kathleen Winters right, all of the above. But, you might also take a look at the historical context of beer in its relationship to world wars, race and ethnicity to better understand why that name might be important to Bud.

Kathleen Winters I have to tell you that Bud is trying to yes, sell you beer, but they are also making a very important statement about the nature of their loyalties to this country

James Walker I think it’s great that Woody’s tune will now be exposed to WAY more people. That’s FANTASTIC. I got a gang of folks to sing it at an open mic once, knowing I’d have to hand out the sheet music……….I don’t mind being in the minority here. No, I don’t have to like Budweiser or professional sports to do so…………..

Kelly Ní Cheallaigh You’d exploit patriotism to see beer? Pretty degrading to our nation.

Jack Smith Bud is a corporation, Kathleen. You are assigning human characteristics to them similar to a human Being. You are misplaced. You should sit on SCOTUS where you will find support. Kelly has nailed this one. BTW, how many US Wars are attributable to Patriotism and now Budweiser Beer.

Anthony Franz Patriotism is itself a method of control, to keep the believers in thrall of the goodness of the country AND its government.
