It still irks me that the Dims got the color blue when red really defines them for who they are. Typical Bolshevik trick of representing yourself for exactly the opposite of what you really are. Why the heck did the Pubbies put up with it?

It was one of the usual tricks from the deceitful Dems. Republicans used to be blue and the Dems were red. But they didn't like the slogan, "Better dead than red", which of course, referred to the commies. So they had the MSM change it. The latest trick is in renaming themselves the "Democratic Party", not "Democrat". Check your ballot. They did it again. They want everyone to think that they are more democratic than the Republicans. Not!

Actually, it was done after the 2000 elections by the MSM. What can I say - it just stuck, like "Sore-Loserman".

An interesting point though. About 100 years ago, when I lived in Canada, a referendum was held nationally to vote on the 'new' Canadian flag that would replace the Red Ensign. The design that was chosen by over 60% of Canadians was a Red Maple Leaf, on a White background, with Blue Borders each side - Red-White-Blue.

Since the Liberals, and their friends, the NDP (read Communist) with Trudeau, were in charge, they chose the current rag they have today - Red-White-Red.

I became an American that day, and never looked back.............FRegards

Why don't they change it? We keep hearing how they're "in charge" of everything.

Actually, the colors were traded back and forth each election cycle for years, but as the country became more divided (i.e., as the Dems became more extreme), the terms came into the vernacular and stuck.

Besides, red stands for blood, as in "red-blooded Americans."
