U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT
— JUNE 30, 2011 FLASHBACK: July 4th Parades Are Right-Wing. University study says parades turn youngsters into Republicans. – Paul Bedard
(COMMENT: I should write a book about the success that Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs had in stopping Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks.)
https://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/washington-whispers/2011/06/30/harvard-july-4th-parades-are-right-wing
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democratic political candidates can skip this weekend’s July 4th parades. A new Harvard University study finds that July 4th parades energize only Republicans, turn kids into Republicans, and help to boost the GOP turnout of adults on Election Day. “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. “The political right has been more successful in appropriating American patriotism and its symbols during the 20th century. Survey evidence also confirms that Republicans consider themselves more patriotic than Democrats. According to this interpretation, there is a political congruence between the patriotism promoted on Fourth of July and the values associated with the Republican Party. Fourth of July celebrations in Republican dominated counties may thus be more politically biased events that socialize children into Republicans,” write Harvard Kennedy School Assistant Professor David Yanagizawa-Drott and Bocconi University Assistant Professor Andreas Madestam. Their findings also suggest that Democrats gain nothing from July 4th parades, likely a shocking result for all the Democratic politicians who march in them. “There is no evidence of an increased likelihood of identifying as a Democrat, indicating that Fourth of July shifts preferences to the right rather than increasing political polarization,” the two wrote. 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. What’s more, the impact isn’t fleeting. “Surprisingly, the estimates show that the impact on political preferences is permanent, with no evidence of the effects depreciating as individuals become older,” said the Harvard report. Finally, the report suggests that if people are looking for a super-patriotic July 4th, though should head to Republican towns. “Republican adults celebrate Fourth of July more intensively in the first place.”)

KRESGE FOUNDATION
— Earth Day 2022: People of color are essential to saving our planet – Kaniqua Welch
(COMMENT: I should write a book about the 18 months that I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights part-time during my junior and senior years at Crete-Monee High School 1964-1966 and full-time during the summer in between. My understanding is that I was the first and only White male to hold that job. My superiors, supervisors, and coworkers asked me lots of questions and asked my classmate since 1953 who got me the job lots of questions. Therefore, they knew a) that I lived in Crete and that my ancestors had lived in Crete since 1854 and that my great great grandfather had homesteaded a farm in southeast Crete Township in 1854, b) that I was 100% German American, c) that I had attended Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961 and then Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962 to stay with the Missouri Synod, d) that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, e) that I was taking college-preparatory courses, got a score of 24 on the ACT, and graduated in the upper 20% of my class, f) that my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, that I had partial red/green color blindness, and that I could not run far because I had Osgood-Schlatter disease, g) that drove a 1958 Chevrolet BelAir with a 348 V-8 and went to the U.S. 30 Drag Strip in Indiana ( https://lostindiana.net/2001/08/01/us-30-drag-strip-hobart/ ) during the summer of 1965, h) that I went fishing and hunting and that I owned a rifle and shotgun, i) that I was conservative, and j) that I was Republican. I recall that many of my superiors, supervisors, and coworkers disapproved of one or more of the aforesaid.)
