Monday, Juneteenth – PEOPLE! PEOPLE! PEOPLE! What Is Wrong With You People?

I try to shy away from controversial topics, but today I cannot. Bring that soapbox over here. No, I do not need help getting on it.

In the highly censorious, condemnatory world of social media, I saw that various conservative groups are upset because Peyton Manning was drinking a Bud Light beer while watching his alma mater, Tennessee, play LSU in a college world series game. Here’s what I’m thinking.

This is like the book banning trip You People are trying.

You can drink whatever beer you so desire. You can read or not read any book you desire. BUT, you cannot tell me or Peyton Manning or anybody else what beer to drink. Nor can you tell me or anybody else what books to read or what books not to read.

Let me put it in a manner that you will understand. You can pick your nose. You can pick your friends. But you cannot pick your friend’s nose.

The boycott of Bud Light has caused that brand to fall from the top selling spot, the number one selling beer now is Modelo. I guess You People did not realize that beer comes from Mexico. Mexico – the place from where the immigrants come.

May you be lost in the Texas heat with only a cooler of ice-cold Bud Light and a paperback book from Oprah Winfrey’s book club.

No. I can get off the soapbox by myself. Thank you. Celebrate Juneteenth! Celebrate every day of freedom!
