some people believe the marxocrats shouldnt be allowed to be at a 4th parade.
The Democrats have their homosexual “pride parades.” That is their substitute for patriotism. No wonder children become Republicans.
Oh good, they got Harvard's permission
or to put it another way; Most Democrats hate America
"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.This is true only because the Democrat Party has chosen to adopt fundamentally un-American principles.
In other words, the problem isn't with the Fourth, it's with the Democrats.

And people wonder why we question democrats patriotism.
These freaks are forming our childrens’ minds.
If you cannot celebrate your nation, its birth, and its ideals, then you are NOT Patriotic. That is pretty close to the textbook definition. How the Left can even pretend to themselves to love their country is beyond me.

Is there something wrong with celebrating the Declaration of Independence? Is the only valid reason for celebrating July 4th is to get something - some political advantage - out of it?
>> July 4th parades energize only Republicans, turn kids into Republicans, and help to boost the GOP turnout of adults on Election Day
EVERY day should be Independence Day!
Coming up next: Fireworks cancelled because “some may be offended...”
Independence day energizes conservatives more than dems because independence just isn’t a lefty thing...
To fully appreciate how full of cr@p this article really is, you really must go to the link and read it. You can find the entire article here:

The methods are a total and complete joke, as are the conclusions.
And I thought clinical medicine studies were bad!
Many are happier with Cuba and Venezuela than with the USA.
The message of this article, unbeknownst to the author, is to make sure you take your kid out to celebrate the 4th in a BIG way or he won't have a country left when he grows up.
But don’t call them unpatriotic.
What this is saying is that ‘rats get nothing for going to a 4th parade, so they might as well not go.
I had everyone in my group turn their back on the ‘rat from our district (before we kicked him out in 2010) when he walked by in the parade.
