Blue Corruption puts Wisconsin in Red

The headline should actually read, “Red Corruption puts Wisconsin in Blue” since unions are run by Leftists who have always been associated with the color red and Red political ideology.

Several years ago, it was always Democrat states that referred to as "Red" and Republican states were "Blue." Tim Russert didn't like this, because he thought "Red" was associated worldwide with Communists (which it is). So he switched the colors, and the rest of the MSM followed suit.

That's why I refuse to parrot this "Red" - "Blue" nonsense.

If people are informed on the facts and substance of the issues, and are able to discern the truth, color should not matter. I'm with SkyPilot. Let them (the media) parrot the Red-Blue nonsense. Personally, I want to make sure I can help (and help others) set the record straight for those I can reach any way possible.

Whoa. The letter in your link borders on a RICO-actionable item.

This is why public sector unions are dangerous. A counter-boycott is not possible.
