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.
These July Fourth believers are then more likely to indoctrinate their own future children into the GOP cult with its strange suspicions of well-meaning government controls and shovel-ready spending, plus its bizarre beliefs in things like free enterprise and wage-earners knowing best how to spend their own money.
I really hope this is a satire article so i guess believing in the free market and spending your own money is bad.
Because, as everyone knows, Republicans have more money than Democrats, who are busier collecting petition signatures to fix something.
How about instead of wasting your time signing petitions for the government to fix something you actually fix something yourself
and lastly im sure earth day helps turn more kids into liberals.
