Adolphus Busch was not poor and struggling or an illegal immigrant. He came into the port of New Orleans, a legal point of entry, as a legal immigrant 1857. He was the son wealthy German wholesale business man of winery and brewery supplies. Busch received a quality education and graduated from the notable Collegiate Institute of Belgium in Brussels.
DMF: Case in point, the Budweiser Super bowl ad that dovetailed neatly with the heated emotions stirred up Donald Trump’s temporary immigration ban. Did the brewing giant that renamed its flagship product “America” in the middle of a presidential campaign really intend to take such a potentially divisive political stand?
Budweiser’s 60-second Super Bowl spot, “Born the Hard Way,” which depicts the arduous journey of Anheuser-Busch’s co-founder from Germany to St. Louis, was hailed as a powerful pro-immigration statement from the instant it hit the internet. The ad, which shows Adolphus Busch crossing the Atlantic in a storm-tossed ship, being taunted as he makes landfall in New Orleans, and boarding a steamship up the Mississippi, which promptly catches fire, eventually ending up in a bar with angry-faced men yelling “You’re not wanted here!” and “Go back home!”
Trouble is, didn’t happen that way. But when did the facts mean anything to these people? MORE
“it is to america’s advantage to have the best scientist, engineers and doctors the world has to offer”
that is the key
immigration is to be for our advantage, attract the best, not to import large scale poverty and the scourge of the third world
If you have lie to make your point, you probably don’t have a point to make.
I really hate these people.
Reagan covered this one. “It isn’t so much that liberals are ignorant. It’s just that they know so many things that aren’t so.”
How about the lie that Bud is an American beer? It’s a Belgian company now!
Stick with the horses in future ads.
The only thing true in that ad was two legal immigrant Germans started a brewery in St. Loser.
I grew up with liberals. If you can’t prove they’re lying – to them it’s a good a the truth. As good as, meaning they don’t hold the truth as a standard worth achieving. If the truth puts them on equal ground with me, they don’t need the truth ….to them ifs all felelings, If you can prove the lie, the meaning beind that lie is what’s important. Again, not the truth. I’m not joking, they actually said it.
They feel “hands up don’t shoot” is a worthy cause, never mind it’s not true. For them, the claim it’s a lie makes us the bad guys becuase it “could be” true and then they would feel more strongly than we do about the violence due to the fact we’re denying it’s possibility. We’re not. Pure idiocy.
I hate liberals, and haven’t been in touch with my family in over 15 years, Trush me, I’m not that articulate,but I am right about this.
Buck Fudweiser.
Poor, Poor Adolphus Busch. His billionaire family must be so proud of him – although there is no honor among rich liberals
Almost everyone knows that Budweiser is no longer an American company, and that real beer drinkers no longer drink that turkey piss.
This is the REAL story of the immigrants that needs to be seen and heard.

For the past 40 years there has been Budweiser in my refrigerator. Those days are over, I’m moving on. I’m not sure of the replacement yet, I have some tasting to do. It’s irritating as hell that bad politics gets in the way of enjoying a beer.
There are so many great craft beers on the market now. You don’t have to drink Butwiper anymore.
“One of the first stories Barack told me when he and Michelle arrived on Moskito Island was how, just before he became President, he had been surfing on a dangerous break in Hawaii. When he came in from an exhilarating session, the new head of his security team turned to him and said: “This will be the last time you surf for eight years.” For the next eight years he didn’t have the chance to surf, enjoy watersports or do many of the things he loved.”

It’s disgusting the propaganda that was aired during the super bowl. It was the definition of propaganda, which is the biased and misleading information to sway others to the political agenda or viewpoint.
I got so fed up with the commercials that I submitted my first article ever to the American Thinker, complaining about the Super Bowl ads and asking them to make them funny again.
Excellent this libs lie , kill , and are so f—–g R

“Born the Hard Way,” ?
Was Adolphus Busch born anally like Obama?
I started boycotting Budweiser years ago. Not for any political reason, but because it has the flavor of what I imagine donkey piss would taste like. Not only that, but a good beer should not make your bowels do an impersonation of an open fire hydrant.
I’m German-born in Amberg and raised here in the states but I can tell you truthfully that BUD is no German beer-it tastes like piss-and no I don’t really know what piss tastes like— I like Natural Lite-smooth and cheap $$$ 🙂
My first beer was a Bud, 7 oz bottle, needed a church key.
After a day of cutting silage, on a dairy farm, it went down good.
I was 12, Uncle George said I earned it.
Hasn’t tasted so good since.
Way back when, Dad drank Falstaff beer, no pop tops then.
Being the older of 3 sons my duty was to take the empty and replenish his refreshment from the refrigerator. I always made sure the previous can was empty and the new one wasn’t spoiled before I returned.
Molson Golden, $9.99 a 12pak in bottles cold. Technically an ale from canada
Yuengling. Oldest continuously operating brewery (Virginia) and still made in the USA.
Nice amber color. Tastes like lager ought to taste. Not expensive. I even like the label design.
I’m taste testing Bassast Point IPAs. They are coming to town. Might want to work there.
That be Ballast Point.
love Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, love the Clydesdales
…that’s about it …. all their beers are water w/ rice adjuncts
not many good beers left … Sam Adams, Heineken & Guinness cater to homos over St. Patrick’s Day Parade. AmBev owns Buttwipers, out of Belgium.
drink Yuengling (1829, Pottsville, PA), & Mully’s (local brewery) Stout, imports are Molson Golden & St. Pauli Girl
Bye bye Buttweiser. Shoulda brought back the
illegal frogs.
