Budweiser and the Roman Catholic Church

They have this much in common: they don't understand their respective clienteles. 

Who drinks Budweiser? Connoisseurs of the brewer's art? No. Different sorts, but mainly country folk, rednecks, Hillary's deplorables, and Barack Hussein Obama's "clingers" to guns and Bibles.  So what were the head honchos thinking when they enlisted Dylan Mulvaney to promote their swill?  You know, that cute little narcissistic sweetie-pie who wants to grow up to be a girly-girl.

Beats me.  Apparently, drinking Bud makes you none the wiser. The 'suits' seemed shocked by the predictable boycott and backlash and have reversed course with an appeal to Harley riders. They should have gone 'whole hog' with  an appeal to outlaw bikers.

As for the RCC,   I have vented my spleen and blown my stack over at the Stack:

People who take religion seriously tend to be conservatives and traditionalists; they are not change-for-the-sake-of-change leftist utopians out to submerge the Transcendent in the secular.  The stupidity of the Vatican II 'reforms,' therefore, consists in estranging its very clientele, the conservatives and traditionalists.  

The church should be a 'liberal'-free zone.

Any USA redneck could have told them, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

"Apparently, drinking Bud makes you none the wiser."

Great line, Bill. And piss-poor beer imo.

You boys may have noticed that right after the defenestration of Tucker Carlson, Blackrock started advertising on Fox. I don't know, but it may be that ESG outfits such as Blackrock are pulling the strings behind the scenes to get all these companies on the 'woke' bandwagon: Disney, Anheuser-Busch, Target, Kohl's, Walmart, Northface, et al.

The logical extension of the trend you see here, is the concentration camp. Note the prolonged standing ovation by the democratic law-makers:

If you really don't know, you're a darn good guesser.

A lot of the ESG stuff is based on the bogus climate panic, which is a denial of God's providence, as this article from the twisted side of things shows: https://www.forbes.com/sites/christinero/2023/01/29/whats-behind-the-esg-investment-backlash/?sh=658cbcb33158

Thanks for the link, Joe. That silly goose takes Europe. as effed up as it is, as the standard! And then there's the Sierra Club, wokesters first, environmentalists second. Have they protested the trashing of our deserts by the invasion from the south?

Some serious cognitive dissonance among the Sierra Clubbers. Were you ever a member?

The 'woke' Left: politicization, racialization, CLIMATIZATION of damned near everything.

[Joe Odegaard]

I was never a member of the Sierra Club, nor much else. I do "belong" to the International Oak Society, and the Club dei Brutti.

Have you visited Piobbico?

[Joe Odegaard]

I have not been to Piobicco. I think the closest to Piobicco that I have been is Urbino, which has some fine architecture.

This article nails the corruption WITHIN the RCC:
