A point about red states & blue states

I was speaking with one of my friend's dad's over the weekend and he made a good point about this connotation about red states and blue states. His point was that not even 15 years ago, if you referred to something as "red" it was associated with Communism. His point was how quickly the world forgets. What is more disturbing, to me anyway, is that this concept of red v. blue has divided our country so much. I can only hope that whoever the next president is can start turning out economy around and bringing our country back together.

After all, there was a saying that used to be pretty popular, but seems to have lost a lot of its luster as of late: "United we stand, divided we fall."
