This is the same display as the previous version except that, the colors have been changed to represent the appropriate parties Republican Red and Democratic Blue. Lets call this V.1.1(I really dont like it, didnt go over as I had planned). All this has given me the new idea to move more locally and map the Pitt County Commisioners Districts and the Greenville City Council Districts. I’ll see if I can put some social engineering to work and drum up some shapefiles for these.

I was able to get a shapefile of the 108 Congress Congressional Districts from NC One Map. I just turned it into a simple overlay to show you how Greenville was divided. I think I will go a head and call this map 1.0, because I did it in less than 20 minutes, and paid no attention to any of the colors.

For 2.0 I think I will:
-Shade Democrat & Republican areas with color themes appropriate to their party.
-Implement further Zoom In levels.
-Add a simple map to my location.

Senate

Burr, Richard (Republican)
Dole, Elizabeth (Republican)

Congress

Butterfield, G.K., 1st District (Democrat)
Etheridge, Bob, 2nd District (Democrat)
Jones, Walter B., 3rd District (Republican)
Price, David, 4th District (Democrat)
Foxx, Virginia, 5th District (Republican)
Coble, Howard, 6th District (Republican)
McIntyre, Mike, 7th District (Democrat)
Hayes, Robin, 8th District (Republican)
Myrick, Sue, 9th District (Republican)
McHenry, Patrick T., 10th District (Republican)
Shuler, Heath, 11th District (Democrat)
Watt, Mel, 12th District (Democrat)
Miller, Brad, 13th District (Democrat)

Now why is all of this important? I got into a semi heated debate today about the responsibilities of the Government(somehow from a conversation about Oboma), of course I took the minimalist conservative view, and of course they took the opposite instructing me that government should be bigger, and they should do more for the people. Before the argument went any further I asked the a few simple questions including(“Who is your congressman?”) that no democrats will ever know, again proving I hate liberals.

In the case of Greenville, North Carolina it can be confusing. If you live inside 264 except for the lower right corner you Congressman Is Democrat J.K Butterfield. Most likely if you live outside of 264 and to the south you are represented by Republican Walter B. Jones. Thankfully I live smack dab in the middle of Walter B. Jones’s district, whose district also covers the crystal coast. If I can find some GIS/GPS information I think I’ll map it for you, but Wikipedia does have a good break down.

###UPDATE###
I decided to make a little map to show you exactly what I was talking about (CLICK HERE TO SEE THE MAP) in part two of “Your North Carolina Congress & Senate.

Now while I don’t agree with Michael Savage on everything he says, he commonly uses the term “Red Diaper Doper Baby” somehow this wasn’t in any of my history books.

The first definition I found was:
“The children of leftist intellectual baby boomers, raised from birth on Marxism and a drug tolerant environment, and now in places of political and intellectual influence.”

BUT a conversation between Michael Savage and Robert Stacy McCain of the Washington Times seemed to explain it a little better:
“Red-diaper baby” is a term used to describe children in the 1940s and ’50s who were “steeped in communism, raised by commie parents,” Mr. Savage said. “I tried to figure out what took an ordinary communist and turned him into this psychotic type of mad-dog leftist we have today. … I believe that when you take the red-diaper baby, and realize he came of age in the ’60s … and you put that drug into the mind of the red-diaper baby, presto, you have the RDDB, who is the current anti-American fanatic.”
