I suppose I just interpret remarks like those to be in reference to our govt & media not to the American people in general.

Yeah, I would certainly hope that everyone here understands that not all Americans, not even the majority of Americans, are reactionary, or any other ugly stereotype that is out there.  Of course, it is also difficult to ask the world not to judge us by our leaders when half the voters in the country supported the idiot...

...Isn't NM more of a purplish state? ;)

Here's your Purple America.   I live in a large urban area on a very blue island, which is surrounded by a vast red sea.  (Where's Moses when you need him?)  So yes, we are actually purple, but recorded as a "red" state in the sense that the electoral votes went to HRH Bush.

Thanks, caldonia. I remember seeing this after the election. A lot of people found it a more accurate picture than blue states, red states.
