Does anybody else remember the 2011 Harvard study that led to headlines like these all around the country?
Fourth of July Celebrators More Likely to Become Republicans
(ABC News) Attending a Fourth of July fireworks display or flag waving parade as a child slightly increases the likelihood that that kid will grow up to vote Republican, according to a study a team of Harvard University researchers.
Even a single July 4 celebration boosts the chance of turning a kid into a Republican, the study claims.
"One Fourth of July without rain before age 18 increases the likelihood of identifying as a Republican at age 40 by 2 percent, the share of people voting for the Republican candidate at age 40 by 4 percent, and the share of people turning out to vote at age 40 by 0.9 percent," the study concludes.
Look at this child abuse!
July 4th patriotic celebrations create more Republicans, Harvard study warns
(LA Times) A new Harvard University study finds that all this July Fourth red-white-and-blue stuff -- the parades and floats, the fire engines and soldiers, flags, fireworks, hand-over-the-heart stuff -- actually helps create more Republicans.
Worse, it also energizes that crowd to participate dutifully in politics and vote in upcoming elections.
While the LA Times piece may be a tad tongue in cheek, as it is from the Political Opinion section, the ABC News report is purportedly straight news. Either way, Im guessing the Left is pretty proud of themselves this year. Theyve managed to spoil the 4th of July for many Americans by getting most parades and fireworks displays cancelled through a combined whammy of Wuhu Cooties and the Woo-hoo brew of BLM/Antifa protests.
Our enemies within are many; and they never, ever give up.
The goal is to convince Americans that they have nothing to be proud of. The purpose of this is to facilitate turning America into something else. - Glenn Reynolds
Mamas, please dont let your babies grow up to Marxists. Take them to a 4th of July celebration as often as you can, no matter where, no matter when.
Oh no! Another right-wing nut in the making!
P.S. That 2011 Harvard study that taught every leftist in America to rebuke the 4th of July should tell you everything you need to know about leftists, studies, and higher education at institutes like Harvard.

The NYT, NBC, LAT, etc. - the propaganda arm of the democrat party.
And excellent catbox liner.
No worries in my family. Four adult kids, all living on their own, all well employed, all patriots.
My youngest has a flag mounted to his Jeep and sent video of him and some friends having a roman candle fight last night.
He was probably wearing his American Flag cowboy boots.
I have a friend who has dedicated decades of his life to protecting America in ways he’s not allowed to discuss. One of his kids posted some stupid quote about how great it is to have the free speech to denigrate America. He must be so proud. I feel so sorry for him.
Americans celebrate July 4th.
Democrats celebrate April 15th.
Actually, Democrats celebrate October 25th, 1917.
Even here in Burleson, Texas, supposedly a good conservative town, postponed the 4th of July parade and fireworks until November 7, 2020
I'm disappointed that our town gave in to the COVID Nazis, what with their burkha slave-mask requirements.
I homeschooled all my children. Thats the best way to avoid Marxist offspring.
They are patriots who know their countrys true history, constitutionally trained, college grads in technical fields. And they have completed numerous gunsite-like courses in HG, tactical carbine, tactics and field craft (USMA, TacTrain).
Get them out of the public school system, NOW!
Oops, I meant that for everyone who might not know, which I’m sure is about 0.00% of FR’s regular readers. You, obviously, are very well-aware and don’t need any hints from the likes of me, sorry!
Get them out of the public school system, NOW!
Amen!
Then monitor their colleges/universities if they go to one!
“I have a friend who has dedicated decades of his life to protecting America in ways hes not allowed to discuss. One of his kids posted some stupid quote about how great it is to have the free speech to denigrate America. He must be so proud. I feel so sorry for him.”
Of course, he might have been like a friend of ours whose entire adult life from the military to *** was spent protecting America in way’s he could not discuss with his children or most people.
Try “Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Commies”
Don’t let them have protests and riots and such
Make them be bankers and plumbers who flush....
Willie is on the side of the Marxists.
Don’t worry about the speech. If they couldn’t tear the country down, we wouldn’t be able to raise it up either. Free speech is free speech.
Worry about the real things: all the crimes that are being committed and allowed to slide.
Communism goes under many names and the low IQ always take the bait Germany,China,Cuba all called for change.
The suckers got it alright but not what they expected,the young now are the biggest suckers that ever walked.
