The states that liberalandproud wishes to abolish from this country. Like typical liberals, he/she believes that anyone who doesn't agree with him/her (i.e. people from the red states) is inarguably a moron, idiot, etc. Here's an idea: perhaps the reason that the Red States supported Bush because Kerry was not an effective candidate?

To give a REAL definition and not bash the right for a change of pace, this is the term given to states during elections that have more Republican votes than Democratic votes.

A state that has proven to be solidly Republican in voting for the President of the United States.
Typically conservative and rural in nature, not necessarily a new Republican stronghold.
Antonym: Blue State

A blue state where enough of the population has been disenfranchised by the New Jim Crow as to hand power to a tyrannical oligarchy known as the Republican Party.

States full of people who voted for G.W. Bush (a.k.a. the first herald of the apocalypse). The majority of people in these states have forgotten that this country was founded on the separation of CHURCH AND STATE and put a coked up jesus freak in office because "he prays" and he talks about jesus alot.

A state that has recently gone Republican and is shown on the political maps as red; oppisite of bicoastal and blue state.

The states that voted in George W Bush. Sine those states are full of fucking morons, it has become a saying.

When somebody does something incredible stupid they are refered to as a red state.

(Isn't it funny how the two states that were effected by 9/11, NY and Washington, voted in Kerry?)

NON-BIASED DEFINTION: In recent years, in the U.S. only, a red state has come to mean a state that traditionally votes Republican, as opposed to a blue state which traditionally votes Democrat.

In the past, media would use maps with red for one party and blue for the other, with no set standard. The current trend was set during the 2000 Presidential election, when NBC used it. The race was very close, and because of this, Tim Russert was often heard to say things like "Bush needs x more red states in order to win, and Gore needs x more blue states in order to win." Because the coverage was being watched so intently by so many people, the color scheme stuck, and is now used by all networks.

What many people don't realize is that this color scheme is actually the opposite of traditional political colors. Red has always been associated with socialism and communism (i.e. extreme forms of liberalism) as seen on flags of countries such as the P.R.C., the U.S.S.R., and the D.P.R.K. On the other hand, blue is most often associated with conservatism, and sometimes facism (i.e. the extreme form of conservatism). Most nations still use this color scheme.

It may be that NBC assigned these colors at random, or it may be because Republican and red both start with R. Neither party has officially adopted these colors. This color scheme has often led to confusion when residents of other countries see a political map of the U.S. or hear Americans discussing red states versus blue states.

Aggregation of hate-fueled cretins and religious fundamentalists. All red-staters are legally obliged to oppose foreigners, liberals, niggers, faggots and commies, as well as denying the validity of global warming, sexual equality, evolution and most of the 'fancy' scientific advances since the 14th century - apart from cable TV, processed foods and automatic weapons.
Red staters are required to eschew knowledge of books, art or philosophy and are rarely allowed out of their immediate environs for fear that they might encounter people who 'ain't from round here'.
The nominal leader of the Red States is the President (unless he happens to be a liberal)though in fact the President must defer in all things to Jesus, whose views on gun control, 'goddamn nigger-faggot-liberals' and tax-breaks for the wealthy are well established.

Pastimes include buying guns, lynching, book-burning, obesity, incest, ignorance and hubris. And guns.
