Busch drops Gov. Holden over Concealed weapons stance
I heard this on Thursday, but didinp;t have access to the internet until today.

http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/stories.nsf/0/F362F9633DE17F7586256DB3001354C6?OpenDocument&Headline=A-B+drops+support+of+Holden+over+guns++&highlight=2%2Cguns

"Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc., the top corporate player in Missouri politics, is no longer backing Gov. Bob Holden - in large part because of their differences over concealed weapons. "

Now, regardless of anyone's stance on concealed weapons, does it not bother anyone that a company known for making a product that makes people disoriented and mean wants its customers to have concealed weapons?

2. What The Party wants.
A company doens't "want" anything. People do. In Buds case the top management want whatever The Party wants. It just makes getting everything they really want so much easier.

3. I'm aquainted with one of the Busch family members
I'm aquainted with one of the Busch family members, he is dating a friend of mine. From what I can gather, it seems that this is consistent with the family. He is extremely pro-freedom, pro-self-defense, and pro-bill of rights. He is individualistic and believes that he is responsible for his own safety. Part of our governmental system allows free speech, they are exercising their free speech by deciding to not support somebody. There is nothing wrong with that, in fact...I love it when rights are exercised. I may not always like the speech, but I'll always defend one's right to make the speech. However, in this case, I see A-B's point, as I am pro-ccw also.
