Time to ban the 4th of July?
According to the report, published by Harvard University, July 4th-themed festivities (defined by the study as fireworks, parades, political speeches, and barbecues) not only energize primarily Republicans, but also turn children into Republicans and increase GOP voter turnout.

21. Don't you love it! They have a protest, and they are patriots.
We have a protest, and we hate America. I truly believe that they would hate the founding fathers that they think they love.
The 4th of July is not a protest, you idiot.
Besides look at what the left protests against, anything that is traditional American values, the left protests against.

27. I hate all jingoistic bullshit like the 4th of July.
All those stupid super-patriotic holidays like Veteran's Day, Memorial Day, etc. I refuse to wave a flag, to stand when the anthem is played, to say the Pledge. The hell with all that.
Yet you claim to be patriotic I bet.
