Study: U.S. Flag Only Boosts GOP or Time for Left to remove Flag from Public Places

[Neotrotsky]

Then it must be a good thing the Left does not care
for the flag

They don't care for the Country...that's why they're trying to wreck it and finish what Wilson and the progressives started 100 years ago.

Indeed
Under Papa Obama success is measured by how many people we can get on
government programs. We have it backwards today

We should celebrate people getting off gov't, not on it. The Left wants to diminish self-reliance and increase a culture of dependency.

 

[Neotrotsky]

Not at all, it is the other way

In spite of the Democrat's efforts, for years, to lessen what the American Flag really stands for...

The Democrats have failed to diminish its real meaning



No need to thank me

Happy 4th

You're an idiot. The people most likely to see an American flag most often day to day are government workers, especially people like teachers, with a flag in every classroom.

Are they overwhelmingly voting Republican?

The 'study' is nonsensical. As are you.

Speaking of idiots....

Well the study does not break it down gov't workers and school teachers vs
the rest of the population.

No doubt you assume gov't workers and public school teachers would have a bias large
enough to overcome this effect to vote Democrat vs the population at large.
Why would that be?


Even a Harvard study backs up this kind of behavior, as well
Really, Harvard, can't get more left wing than that....

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.

Oh no

Democrats leave the kids home today
or at least cover their eyes when the flag goes by....

[Neotrotsky]

What do you expect from a gov't that now has a criminal as Attorney General and
picked a militant pervert Kevin Jennings for a key education post


It is a rush to the lowest leftist common denominator

 

[The T]

What do you expect from a gov't that now has a criminal as Attorney General

No less and expect more attacks on liberty by the very same.

To the bolded,

who DOESN'T see a flag before they're eighteen? What the fuck does that even mean?

A 2% difference? And that is supposed to be meaningful? Maybe the location of a disproportionate number of 4th of July parades accounts for the difference.

You people on the right are the funniest myth chasers in the world.

 

[Neotrotsky]

Probably why

Gallup: Conservatives Remain the Largest Ideological Group in U.S.

Oddly enough around 20% percent identify as liberal and we have about
20% with mental illness in the US
Funny how that works....


As for who doesn't see the flag before 18
illegals?

Probably why the left wants more of them
and no voter ID laws

 

[NYcarbineer]

So seeing a flag in a parade when you're ten makes you more likely to want to cut Medicaid and foodstamps so you can afford to give millionaires a huge tax cut??

That's quite a stretch.

Lol, self-identification of Conservatives is bullshit. Hell, John McCain calls himself a conservative.

 

[Neotrotsky]

Perhaps
but it still means the label liberal carries too much baggage with it

Actually the other way

It probably creates a non desire to take Medicare funding from seniors
and give large sums of tax money to political cronies

 

[TruthSeeker56]

Wow, I just saw a flag and got a strange urge to scratch my butt and throw a rock at a NEGRO!!!

Wow, I just saw your posting and got a strange urge to throw a rock at YOU!!!

 

[Moonglow]

so does the dogmatic right, and the podium you preach from. I can bet you would never say anything like this to me face to face. So play you little insulting game and posting your insulting pile of shit. It's your right and I won't stop you, but some day you will not be in a position of such arrogance and pride and will realize that your form of bullshit is no better than anyones else.

 

[daveman]

That is strange because the last Arizona shooter was a Democrat

Loughner is registered as an interdependent you dumb fuck, but I'd love to see what his testimony is about why he did the shooting. I bet it was because of Palin using gun crosshairs over Gifford's name as well as GOP politicians having events where they would shoot her photo.

"Interdependent"?

As much as you idiots would love to blame this on Palin due to your irrational hatred of the woman, sadly, there's just no credible way normal people can buy your horseshit.

You abnormal people, however, eat it up.

 

[daveman]

So what they're really saying is that the Republican party's years of efforts to cheapen the American flag and reduce it to nothing more than a partisan propaganda tool has succeeded.

Do tell!

We take the flag seriously.

Your side burns it and steps on it.

Carby thinks that's a sign of patriotism, apparently.

That must be the core Democrat in you
still coming out

The Democrats the Party of the three S's

Slavery Segregation Socialism

The first two "S's" belong to the conservatives of BOTH parties.
As far as the third "S", you can ponder this:
"The Republican Bush Administration and the United States Congress have both engaged in the single biggest act of socialism in United States history, on an economic scale far bigger than the recovery plans of FDR between the Great Depression and World War II."

Under Republican President, Government Acquired Much Bigger Role In Economy. The Economist reported: "Mr. Bush now leaves behind a tax system in some ways less efficient than the one he inherited, in need of annual patches, and unable to fund the government even in good times. He also leaves behind a broken budget process...Reaganomics helped to produce a giant deficit. The financial crisis has made re-regulation rather than deregulation the mantra in Washington, while government has acquired a much bigger role in the economy through its backing of banks and car companies...The budget surplus he inherited is now a deficit, the fiscal hole in America's retiree programmes is bigger than ever, the tax system is an unstable, patched-up mess." [The Economist, 1/15/09, emphasis added]

Socialism, Republican-Style


Now what were you saying about "Democrats and socialism"????

Thanks for the laugh!!!!
