UH-OH - DID YOU KNOW JULY 4TH PARADES ARE RIGHT WING?

Harvard: July 4th Parades Are Right-Wing


Democratic political candidates can skip this weekend's July 4th parades. A new Harvard University study finds that July 4th parades energize only Republicans, turn kids into Republicans, and help to boost the GOP turnout of adults on Election Day.


"Fourth of July celebrations in the United States shape the nation's political landscape by forming beliefs and increasing participation, primarily in favor of the Republican Party," said the report from Harvard. [See political cartoons about the 2012 GOP field.]


"The political right has been more successful in appropriating American patriotism and its symbols during the 20th century. Survey evidence also confirms that Republicans consider themselves more patriotic than Democrats. According to this interpretation, there is a political congruence between the patriotism promoted on Fourth of July and the values associated with the Republican party. Fourth of July celebrations in Republican dominated counties may thus be more politically biased events that socialize children into Republicans," write Harvard Kennedy School Assistant Professor David Yanagizawa-Drott and Bocconi University Assistant Professor Andreas Madestam.


Their findings also suggest that Democrats gain nothing from July 4th parades, likely a shocking result for all the Democratic politicians who march in them.


"There is no evidence of an increased likelihood of identifying as a Democrat, indicating that Fourth of July shifts preferences to the right rather than increasing political polarization," the two wrote.


The three key findings of those attending July 4th celebrations:

  • When done before the age of 18, it increases the likelihood of a youth identifying as a Republican by at least 2 percent.
  • It raises the likelihood that parade watchers will vote for a Republican candidate by 4 percent.
  • It boosts the likelihood a reveler will vote by about 1 percent and increases the chances they'll make a political contribution by 3 percent.

What's more, the impact isn't fleeting. "Surprisingly, the estimates show that the impact on political preferences is permanent, with no evidence of the effects depreciating as individuals become older,"said the Harvard report.


Finally, the report suggests that if people are looking for a super-patriotic July 4th, though should head to Republican towns. "Republican adults celebrate Fourth of July more intensively in the first place."

American citizens aren't slaves to the government. Fight back in any way you think is necessary. We are being targeted - terrorism is being used against it.

Listen to Alex Jones NOW.

Food tyranny is on the way - no canning, no pickles, no sharing the bounty of a garden, no small farms. No gardens.

Net censorship is on the way. Fox News, MSNBC and bloggers are targeted.

FACE THE DANGER (OUR GOVERNMENT), STAND TALL AND DIG IN.

REMEMBER WHO WE ARE - KRISTA BRANCH



Who are we?

We are the progeny of patriots, who fought for freedom, lost their lives, spilled their blood in rivers of triumph for the ideals of freedom, liberty and a sovereign land called America.

We are the couch potatoes who watch Dancing with the Stars, obscene music videos, violent action movies and never teach the children what freedom really is because we don't know ourselves and watch leftist media roll out the propaganda machine on nightly news.

We are the Tea Partiers who have a dream of freeing our country from offensive, crippling taxation, from a corrupt government, standing tall above those who ridicule us, try to infiltrate and destroy our cause.

We are the patriots who stand ready to defend our nation from the internal corruption in our government, who hand out pocket Constitutions, who will stand against the time when the corrupt in Washington, DC, try to knock us down by fear and oppression. We will never
cease our resolve. We are the people who believe in individual rights and the sovereign citizen.

We are homeschoolers who don't want their children to be subjugated into drugged, zombified acquiescence in public schools which whitewash history books and teach political correctness in the form of government propaganda.

We think for ourselves. You cannot control our minds. We see through you. We have the "gift" of wisdom and truth.

We are the elders who have fought wars we couldn't win because the government didn't want to win, who bear the scars of war in our minds, hearts and bodies, who wait for the chance to make things right.

We are farmers and ranchers and doctors and the jobless who are sick to death of government regulation and destructive government policies.

We are the jobless and homeless, angry that our banks failed us, put us on the street, with no
leniency, and watch our jobs move first to Mexico, then India, now China and the middle east.
We want American jobs for Americans. Our unions did nothing to stop the bleeding - and sent them away and lied to us.

We are my neighbors who needed medical help and were in a Medicaid program for the underemployed. Their son turned 18 and now they are back to square one. There is no help available to them, and they are working as hard as they can, struggling to survive. For them there is nothing. For illegal aliens, there is EVERYTHING.

We are Americans. We are standing shoulder-to-shoulder through an unbroken bond to defend our country if the call comes and our military and our police turn against us.

Let us and the world, remember who we are.

TEEN FIGHTS TO PUT PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE BACK IN THE CLASSROOM...IN BOSTON!

http://www.boston.com/news/education/k_12/articles/2010/06/30/teen_fights_to_put_pledge_of_allegiance_back_in_classroom/

I heard this on Glenn Beck's show this morning. It woke me up immediately and I shot up out of bed.

I had my poached egg sitting here browsing through this subject - and you WILL NOT BELIEVE THE AMOUNT OF ANTI-PLEDGE SITES THERE ARE. I EVEN DUGG ONE WITH THIS.

I cannot believe that in Boston, or in your state, if this is the same there, that seniors won't volunteer for this very important practice, or even hold extra-curricular classes on or off campus to learn why our history and our flag are so important.

Pride in being American, pride in our unique, extraordinary history, (I admit there is nothing much to be proud of with our present lawmakers and our fraud-president), but the ideals of the founding fathers in one of the 13 fonts of liberty and freedom not being upheld or taught is too much for me.

Please get in back of this young man, wherever you are, and send him an email, a phone call, or something in support.

Also call the Senators and Representatives in Massachusetts, and demand that the teachers recite this, and also give a class in why our flag flies - the symbol of freedom, liberty, rule of law,
and God given rights.

I am steaming. Are Massachusetts teachers, communists?

Is this happening in your school?

You know it never hurt us to be reminded every day of the respect for country, the ideals noted above.
