RIP journalist Tim Russert (1950-2008 / « heart attack »). All he did was asking GWB about Skulls and bones.

Russert was also the origin of the “Red/Blue State” dichotomy, and since he was a Leftoid he attached the color Red to the Conservatives/Republicans.
The Democrats should be the Reds. Because they are Commies.
Yes colors are reversed from the traditional way. Back in the day like back in French Revolution days Red represented the Bourgoisie and came to represent Left politically (and eventually communism) while Blue represented nobility class and came to represent the Right.
Commie Camouflage.
I would really like for us to stop using our "Slave Name Color".
My color is Kunta. Kunta Kinte.
Amen.
The Freemasons throughout history designated red as the color of revolution.
Red represents Communism, these days. But also I agree with your assessment in terms of the color usage from "back in those days". Astute.

Star Wars lightsabers were blue for good guys, red for Vader, the bad guy.
Luke Skywalker eventually figures out what he needs, which is to get out of the left/right paradigm, more or less, and his new lightsaber is green.
Green is what everyone wants. It's why money is green.
The political Red/Blue dichotomy has its roots in boxing. “In the blue corner…” and “In the red corner…” with the boxers wearing the respective colored shorts.
Purple is associated with royalty and consists of mixing red and blue.

This article conforms to my recollections.
Nancy Reagan wore red dresses and had lots of red in her wardrobe and soon it came to be known as "Reagan Red"
You sure the colors were his doing? Or were they just the colors NBC gave him?
He is where I first saw it. I think it was Russert who did this, but I guess it could always have been his handlers.
