Readers Write: This Bud is not for you

The Island Now

Anheuser-Busch which their Budweiser beer is a Belgian based brand is from May 23 to Nov. 8 is changing their 12 ounce cans and bottles from Budweiser to America.

The reason being this is a way to profit from this year’s presidential election. 

Now in my view America is not just a name of our country but what it represents. 

In my opinion those who come to America come here for what America has to offer and that is freedom of speech and the opportunity to create a better way of life and the belief that one could practice their religious faith without prejudice. 

I guess patriotism can be sold as a economic commodity. 

Well, what else can be sold maybe freedom and democracy to the point these high ideas have no meaning and are no longer sacred ?
