Red = RW? Who changed history with that reverse? |
|
Confusing to have red mean conservative.
Was confusion the purpose, like havng Labor day in September?
who made the stupid switch, and how do we get back in with global usage on colors? When was it done?
Reminds me of how we are out of synch on metric, on Kyoto, on push for a global language.
I thank you, kind soul, in advance, for your help!

4. Red is the color of Communism |

So, because rethugs act like commies, it's fitting they're in red.
Republicans are CONunists.

5. Blue is RW: beatle flics, Blue Meanies: bad cops:Blues songs |
|
I only refer to bad cops ... we all need the good ones. Need many more these days to fill out the ranks thinned by Reaganite cuts and protect against common crooks. I support the good ones, so dont misconstrue me.
Blue is RW. Red is LW, and at the turn OF The 1800's... pretty sure it referred to all points in the LW. not just stalinists.
Keep re;'s coming.
