It would be interesting to know who was behind the GOP switchover from blue to red. The Marxists Democrats?

If anybody is deserving of the "red" identification it is them. I am of the opinion, though I can't prove it, that they were behind the switcheroo to remove the commie reproach off themselves.

Why, even "Democrat" has become something they dodge, have you noticed most of them won't even campaign for office as a Democrat anymore but as a so called "progressive." Devious slimeballs.

"progressive" - a word that has bugged me in association with the dims for a long time. I'm hoping this article is a beginning; a retaking of the word "progressive" from those using it as doublespeak (the dims).

They are scared of the label "socialist", so they degraded a once-respectable term, "liberal". They are now running to "progressive", but they'll cr@p that up even more, tho' it already is soiled since it really means "socialist".

The red/blue thing was changed by the MSM when Klinton was president. Military use is that blue is the friendly force and red the enemy -- plus you have the socialist/communist flavor of red which they wanted to avoid.
