The spirit of self-help is the root of all genuine growth in the individual.

This is the order of things. In addition, it's a nice touch that red also symbolizes communism, which the American Democratic Party prefers, despite their cries to the contrary.

So then one day, some liberal arts journalism major from Oberlin Socialism Indoctrination University working for CNN makes a critical call, one that would change how America views politics. This Democrat working for the Democratic CNN decides to depict Republican states as red, and Democrat states as blue. A very simple decision, probably made out of ignorance, or at least contempt, and every one else follows suit. I don't know this faceless, nameless person, but I hate her.

I mean, don't get me wrong. The overall strategy is brilliant: "We can't beat them on ideas, therefore, get ahold of the media, entertainment, and education industries and the indoctrination will occur naturally....kinda like how Apple gave its computers to schools." It's brilliant, but it's still aggravating.

I'll never, ever, use the term "Blue State/Red State." Please slap me if I do.

The democratic media has already erased all sources that stated the official color of the GOP is blue.

"United States: Republican Party, hence states that vote Republican are referred to as red states as opposed to blue states which vote for the Democrats."

It's a conspiracy now, I tell you.

Ha! Here's a site the bastards haven't gotten to yet:
"We use BLUE for GOP, Red for Democrat normally but you have a choice in the maps."

Even the Canadians do it: "Canadians politically associate the colour blue with conservatives."

This is how it's always been done here, too.
