If you get your panties in a wad over such a silly thing like this I'd hate to see how you react to something of importance. :-)
The convention now is to display Republican states as "red states". Its been used for decades by some and now everyone uses it. That is how it is. You can deny reality all you want. Doesn't really matter.
My advice is to get yourself a cool one and chill. Life is just too short. I wish you well.
Because it isn't silly. This is all part of a deliberate effort at psychological warfare and an attempt by the media left to disassociate the long-negative color of red (the very epitome of international Marxism) from the Democrats. If you don't see that as serious, you don't get it. Politics doesn't just happen at the ballot box, and for our side to not even realize that this is part of a deliberate effort shows our own ignorance. We should've rightly rebuked this attempt when it began en masse in 2000. I surely did, and will continue to correct those that play along with aiding this media psych warfare campaign, either knowingly or unknowingly.

Damn convention when it's wrong. If everyone jumps off a cliff, do you ? I will not be a party to it. You're a useful idiot for their cause when you defend the practice. Even more so when repeating the falsehood of "it's been used for decades" when only obscure sources has done so (CBS as a reputable source ? They're one of the worst offenders of propagating this psych warfare campaign, and that goes back a half-century).

Like I said, I'm more than happy to publicly correct those in error on the facts. We need to be united in facing down the media lies and psych warfare.
