deathray2kJul 1, 2011
It's really not surprising. July 4th parades feed the jingoism that drives Republican campaigns. Of course they don't do anything for Democrats, they don't typically use those "If you don't side with me you don't love America" tactics.

Where are the Democrats?

Oh wait... Americans. Drawing lines between gay, black, japanese, democrat, republican, men, women, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health... etc. Would be petty this time of the year. Honor the people who fight for your freedoms. It's our job here to make sure they come home to the freedom they are fighting to protect. Do your job America.

this has nothing to do with democrats or what democrats think. just fact the statement is made anywhere true or not... is the direct and desired result of republican propaganda blitz. fox news to limbaugh to beck... this is the crap that gets repeated enough that some people start believing it. the fact you don't believe it or find it questionable means you aren't susceptible to this "you don't have to produce facts just get it repeated enough" propaganda machine.
i'm sorry to tell you that if you aren't already hooked you probably won't be able to participate in the "we believe our own bulls**t fest." if you don't believe it you are a liberal. thats what the new definition of liberal is... you don't believe rightwing propaganda.

When people attack other people's patriotism it shows they have no argument. Democratic politicians love this country, Republican politicians love this country. The only accurate attack is that "Democrats/Republicans dont love the other sides approach to fix a problem".
charlesdkraussJun 30, 2011
I see your point, but I don't know if I can necessarily agree.
If ALL americans loved this country, we wouldn't have some saying the President of The United States is a muslim, socialist, non-citizen, anti-christ, etc.
(Just some of the many things that are just plain wrong.)
batcommanderJul 1, 2011
You're right, that's overboard, but if you want you can completely say he's dumb so long as you have reasoning that isn't "Muslim socialist communist". And I say that as someone who leans to the left.
cherrybomb921Jul 1, 2011
even if the president were a Muslim, would there be anything WRONG with that? America is founded on the principle to the freedom of religion, that freedom is extended to the president as well.
some people are just plain ignorant when they go around spewing BS like that.
charlesdkraussJul 1, 2011
If he really were muslim, I wouldn't care. No better or worse than any other religion, they're all false. The religious right have a problem with him being a muslim, because then he's not "christian", and he's here to push a "terrorist" agenda... in their minds, not mine.
How many people would care if he were an Atheist, is an interesting question.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.
garryfieldsJul 1, 2011
If he were a Muslim there would be a problem because he has repeatedly said he is a Christian. That would be lying.
Of course, politicians lie all the time, so it really wouldn't matter much anyway. At least not to people whose first reaction to driving by a mosque isn't to scream in abject horror and call the police.
TheMightyZordonJul 1, 2011
@charlesdkrauss
That IS an interesting question. I'm not one to care overmuch for such things when it comes to voting for someone, but if someone had the balls run for an elected position and outright say they're an atheist (not a 'universalist' or 'moderate Christian' or some such). . .that would be something that would push me towards supporting them.
ronaldm131Jul 2, 2011
Would you care if he were a member of the Muslim Brotherhood?

I'm very well to do. I was very lucky to have been born with talents which I practiced at to sound great. This allows me to make a butt load of money, with what I would consider little effort, but others seem to think It's very complicated. To me it's easy, to them it's hard, so they pay money to watch me and my other band mates do it on stage. So I have no want to live off other people, in fact I want to help other people through my community, state, and Government.
Am I bad somehow for that?

there really isn't anything WRONG with socialism. I don't know why so many people have this negative connotation associated with it.
if you are against socialism how about you take your kids out of public schools and pay for their education at a private school. because public schools are, after all, socialist programs.
or how about we just get rid of schools all together and those that can't afford to send their kids to school are just s**t out of luck.
that would just be a STUPID idea because educating everyone benefits the country as a whole, other socialist programs would do the same thing.

The study is flat insane; or else a joke.
Has anyone actualy read the original abstract?
"Our method uses daily precipitation data from
1920-1990 to proxy for exogenous variation in participation on Fourth of July as a child. The
estimates imply that days without rain on Fourth of July in childhood increase the likelihood of
identifying with the Republicans as an adult, voting for the Republican but not the Democratic
candidate, and voter turnout. Our findings are significant: 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 evidence is consistent with childhood
experience having foundational effects less susceptible to adult political influence"
http://www.hks.harvard.edu/fs/dyanagi/Research/FourthOfJuly.pdf
savbyroyJul 3, 2011
You'd think the article would have mentioned the methodology with regard to precip data....
darthseussJul 4, 2011
The authors based their conclusions on the number of rain-free July 4ths during the childhoods of each cohort, assuming rain-free July 4ths increased participation in the celebrations. They then correlated that data against survey data of the same populations in later life, which tested how many of the cohort self-identified as Republican, Democrat, independent, etc., and controlled for other factors.
The fun part: One of the factors that they had to control for -- rather heavily -- was global warming and climate change over time, which has decreased the overall occurrence of rainfall on the 4th of July. Now, I don't know if the study is valid (something seems off, but I don't have a good enough grasp of stats to nail it down). But what I love is that to defend the validity of the study -- and thus the superior patriotism of Republicans -- James Inhoffe and the other climate deniers must ALSO defend the validity of controlling for global warming which, as we all know, doesn't exist. So the upshot of the argument is: Global warming is real, but only if it makes more Republicans, and proves that Republicans are better people than democrats.

I'm with Bertrand Russell on this 'Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons', I don't id myself with anything, only with myself, I think nationalism and patriotism can boost our jingoism and sense of discrimination against people that don't belong to our group, and I'm not like that, that's why ever since I was little I never understood anthems, flags or all that stuff, it seemed too jingoistic to me, like in a way the subtext was 'We are indoctrinating you all to hate people that are not from this country' and I got love for humanity, so I guess that type of demonstrations can (and I don't mean that's the only thing they do) boost those negative feelings towards other nations and that's to me a more republican thing, hating immigrants, invading countries, etc, which is what I relate them to...
cosmicsurferJun 30, 2011
Maybe it has more to do with who is easily influenced by superficial shows of patriotism as exhibited by fireworks and marching bands (the current crop of GOP) vs those who actually require more depth and understanding of what is really important for a nation to remain consistent to its self as well as having the balls to question inconsistencies and gross hypocrisies exhibited by those who claim patriotism

That's because Democrats' vocabularies are big enough that they can think of better adverbs than "extremely."
On a more serious note, that'd probably be because when people think of "extreme patriotism," they think of the rabid jingoism that Republicans seem to love.
monvalleyJun 30, 2011
I thought it was improper to end a sentence with an adverb; sort of like a dangling participle.
garryfieldsJun 30, 2011
If you are referring to my first sentence then I think you should rethink your status as a grammar nazi. I was not using the word for its actual meaning or use, but rather referring to the word "extremely" itself (which is a noun), hence the quotes.
Nice try, though.

Very interesting to read the methodology, where you'll find one factor controlled for heavily is global warming/climate change (resulting in more rain-free July 4th celebrations, which presumably would increase turnout at the celebrations) -- so anyone accepting these results perforce accepts global warming and climate change.

Libs and cons are like parents arguing over what to feed the kid. Dad thinks the kid needs protein and wants to make him a burger. Mom thinks the kid needs vegetables and wants to make a salad. They both want what's best for the kid but have different opinions on what that is.
To try to demonize people for having different opinions about how best to fix the country's problems makes you look a bit immature, honestly. I don't agree with Republicans on most issues, but I can recognize that they have the best intentions (well, I must admit I believe some of the party leaders may be more self-interested, but not the rank and file).
Why not focus all your creative energy (the imagination you use to conjure up imaginary portraits of libs) on pointing out the flaws in their logic? No one's going to be convinced by name-calling, and isn't the idea that through exchange of ideas we come to some consensus on what the best approach to our collective problems is?

Umm who wants to ban freeze-tag on the playgrounds, who wants to ban homework from L.A. schools, who wants to ban parents from packing their children's lunch for school, who wants to ban children from having lemonade stands in front of their house w/o a permit, who wants to ban fireworks, who want's to fine people for improperly pruning their trees in NC, who never stfu about how the environments in utter disarray because of our cars/factories?
These are off the top of my head and I could go on and on but you should get the point by now. Face it liberals hate freedom and want to make government large enough that it can control every aspect of our daily lives. They're control freaks in every sense of the word who hate the idea of personal responsibility.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

Since I can't respond to the replies below for some reason... the proof is in the last century of conservative history. What, you want to tell me it was conservatives who wanted women and blacks to get the vote?

Considering that the right to vote was granted to blacks in the 1800s, you'd have to go a bit farther back than "the last century"
The Fifteenth Amendment
Adoption:
The Congress proposed the Fifteenth Amendment on February 26, 1869. The final vote in the Senate was 39 senators for, 13 against, and 14 absent. Several fierce advocates of equal rights, such as Massachusetts Senator Charles Sumner, abstained from voting because the amendment did not prohibit devices which states might use to restrict black suffrage, such as literacy tests and poll taxes. The vote in the House was 144 to 44 with 35 members not voting. The House vote was almost entirely along party lines, with no Democrats supporting the bill and only 3 Republicans voting against it.
Additionally, the Senate majority was held by Republicans at the time.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution#Adoption

The Nineteenth Amendment (Amendment XIX) to the United States Constitution prohibits any United States citizen to be denied the right to vote based on sex. It was ratified on August 18, 1920.

It was also Progressive President Woodrow Wilson (D) who RE-SEGREGATED the Federal government and military. While blacks received equal pay in the army, they were restricted to all-black units with white officers. As an aside, it was also Wilson who arrested up to 175,000 Americans who did not demonstrate their patriotism appropriately. “At Wilson’s urging, a Sedition Act (not unlike the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 ) forbade Americans from criticizing their own government in a time of war. Citizens could not “utter, print, write or publish any disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language” about the government or the military.”
It was Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt who initiated internment camps for approximately 110,000 Japenese-Americans. Through the signing of Executive Order 9066, Roosevelt suspended on the writ of Habeas Corpus for anyone in those “wartime military zones”.
So, now, tell us again which party has done more for civil rights?

The paper is disappointing in a number of areas. It fails to address what percentage of celebrations in the past have been organized by republicans, it ignores the fact that the “effect” is not significant from 1970 to 1990, and it make numerous claims that Fourth of July celebrations are the cause of the “effect” when instead it may simply be a correlation that is not fully understood because other variables have not been examined.

Wow! With massive percentages like these:
"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."
You'll be able to indoctrinate all children if 4th of july is extended for a year!
On a serious note, where is the link to the study? Because percentages this low are not usually even statistically significant, in other words, they're horses**t.
On another serious note, does this suggest that childhood indoctrination is a GOOD thing? Apparently so for many people here, scary.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.
sarahleeJul 1, 2011
From a comment posted on another site:
"Skimming the study itself ( http://www.hks.harvard.edu/fs/dyanagi/Research/FourthOfJuly.pdf ). it doesn't look like they actually interviewed anyone to see if they actually attended any July 4th events - parades or otherwise. Instead, they use weather data, and correlate non-raining July 4ths with voting patterns by county. They then make the assumption that people with non-raining July 4ths attended parades, which seems like quite a leap to me.
"It seems to me that this is closer to a study of how weather patterns during childhood might impact voting habits as adults.
"I'll also point out that there are hundreds, if not thousands of studies being done at Harvard and other universities all the time. It's a bit misleading to imply that the entire institution has backed any particular study."
JonathonFishenatorJul 1, 2011
Propaganda is passed easily if it has authoritative names associated with it. Sadly....
darthseussJul 4, 2011
They controlled for global warming as well, assuming that more rainless July 4ths occurred over time as the trend worsened, so more people would attend festivities. Thus anyone rejecting climate change/global warming should really reject the conclusions of this study. Must be tough for some Republicans, because here's a feel-good fuzzy-hearted study that kinda makes them look good, but oooh, seems there's a catch!

And they might be watching kids sitting on their dad's shoulders
