"Red" States, "Blue" States....Why.

[PoliticalChic]

If this is so objectionable to conservatives, why did Fox News go along with it?

But you agree that 'red' is most correctly identified with communist, socialist, liberal, etc., and, therefore denotes Democrats....

....correct?

Talk about ineducable! Color has nothing to do with politics.

Dope.

Tell me that next time you're crying about some racial nonsense.

You're the one that spouts racial nonsense. Like admitting you wet yourself every time you're near a black neighborhood!

 

[PoliticalChic]

I agree 100 perecent political chic. From now on, I'll call red states liberal states. We shouldn't go against sense. What color would conservative states then be?

Remember 'Lake Reagan'?

I live in a pro Democrat State, and I assure you, Democrats are some of the worst bigots I have ever met in my life.

Absolutely. I'm not a fan of some upper crust Republicans and their disassociation with everyday people. But that's just a percentage of them. But Dems have fostered entire communities of bottom dweller pricks that blame whites for the ugliness that is their self induced issues.

red is one of my favorite colors, but it has nothing to do with BS ideas of politics. And a color is not the true representation of a political agenda unless the author has a hard time pinning down actual facts and exercises the ability to report them with specifics and not generalizations. Rah! Go Team Go!

Someone never studied the psychology of color.

Blue is the color of trust or water.
Red is the color of threat or beef in bullion cubes.

They had been traditionally when color was used for party. Progressives and socialists liked the color red long throughout history. It's only a recent phenomenon in the US they are running scared from their historically familiar color.

LOL!!! The only "historically familiar" thing about this is the scam that tries to equate liberals with Communists. Well, drink deep you're the "Reds" now.

Judging by your posts it’s clear why no one ever copied off your paper.

Going along with Political Chics mean spirited thread, what better way to describe Republican States? Republicans are the party of "I want everyone to be just like me" A party catering to wealthy, Christian, straight white males. Now, it may be appropriate to call them Green States because they cater to the wealthy....but Republican States are far from wealthy and tend to mooch off of Blue States

So......if Republicans don't like being called Red States, White States seems appropriate

RED

As the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States intensified in the late 1940s and early 1950s, hysteria over the perceived threat posed by Communists in the U.S. became known as the Red Scare. (Communists were often referred to as "Reds" for their allegiance to the red Soviet flag.)

Red Scare — History.com Articles, Video, Pictures and Facts

So 'Red' is more closely associated with rightwing hysteria.

Scam? What are you a junior communist propagandist???? I've never heard something so goddamn dumb in the last 24 hours. This is idiocy even for you kommiekonnie.
