Quite frankly, when I hear the misinterpretation by the Right Wing Media to influence an uninfromed public I sincerely take offense.
I was a kid at one time. I marched in a band and played the "The Stars and Stripes Forever." The town I grew up in was in New Jersey, we were strongly Democratic in our city and state, we served in government and made an impact on our country and our lives. The Republicans are about the most 'out of touch' jokers I have ever heard.
The study simply confirms that fact 'the parades and all the celebration that occurs in traditional forms' LENDS itself to the 'backbone' values of the Republican Party. That hardly means there are not patriotic Democrats that only believe in destroying the country and destroying life. I really do believe the Republicans have that ALL BACKWARDS. Their rhetoric speaks to 'where they find their power' and not what is best for the nation.
The 'idea' that Republicans are favored because children march in a band or otherwise is a ridiculous conclusion.

Do July 4th festivities make you Republican? (click here)
A new study argues that July 4th celebrations may not be as innocent as they seem - at least from the democratic perspective....Who exactly does everyone think they are?
