They always seem oh so concerned about the people having guns – threats like someone going on a shooting spree, those guns being stolen, etc.

Well the same thing could be said for those guns possessed by the government – they could be stolen, and some government ‘worker’ could go ‘postal’

But they don’t seem to care about such things do they?

Old Josh is getting a lot of comments on his Facebook page. He will most likely shut it done or delete comments.

Though in 80 or so, long after TV went color, GOP was blue and Dems red

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/03/25/state-senators-response-to-second-amendment-advocate-at-gun-control-rally-will-make-your-jaw-drop/

(8:15 ET Reagan projected winner—had 270!)
“We will now be coloring these states now, in blue,
for Reagan”
A similar clip for the Reagan landslide described the electoral college map as “a swimming pool” blue for Reagan.
But yes some time after that you would hear the host say “We shall color this state Republican red”
(R-Red-Republican; Blue-Dem-blue collar?)

His post “Last Tuesday a vast group of Rhode Islanders gathered peacefully in the State House rotunda to voice their concerns about gun violence in our state and in our country.”

Yes, that’s the way it used to be – example, look at this Oxford dictionary definition:
Definition of conservative
http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/english/conservative?
2(in a political context) favouring free enterprise, private ownership, and socially conservative ideas.
• informal true blue

Gun control is about control, not guns

So, a link that doesn’t coincide with your point proves it? What an odd world you live in. Major news outlets agreeing to a color scheme is not proof of conspiracy.

Yes, in 80. On some networks. Others, as mentioned in the link, had the colors the other way around. The next election cycle, many of a them reversed the pattern to avoid favoritism.

Your except said:
However, in 2000 for the first time, all the major news outlets agreed to use red for the Republican Party and blue for the Democratic Party.

In other words, a bunch of people got together to decide something.

Do you understand what that means?

None the less, Red used to mean Commie.

Why are you arguing this point so much?

Question: Was Communism historically signified by the color RED or not?

Yes or No will suffice.

I would simply call that agreement. Conspiracy and agreement carry HIGHLY different connotations. And sure, for a few decades, red meant Commie. But that was then, and 14 years is a very long time in the public consciousness.

To the point where Cincinnati’s baseball team briefly changed nickname from Reds to Redlegs!

From your linked article:

Throughout the rest of the world, specific colors carry very specific designations and are widely understood by the general population:

Blue - The color of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada and British conservatives of the UK. “Tory blue” is associated with more right-wing, conservative political thought.

Red - Canada's “Liberal red” and Britain's Labor Party are considered more socialist, or left-wing. In some cases, red is associated with communistic governments. During the McCarthy era in the U.S., pink was the color of socialist ideology.

Yes - in fact, I stated as much quite some time ago. It was also, alternately, the color of Dems and the GOP.

Was in Providence last summer. Hadn’t been there in 20 years or so. WHAT A DUMP!

Outside of a narrow area of boutiques and restaurants and Brown University, it was as decrepit as any inner-city I have visited with bums urinating in plain view on the main drag.
