Confederate flag to fly Sunday in Missouri

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - The Confederate flag is rising again in
Missouri, and an NAACP leader is vowing a "drastic" response.

Republican Gov. Matt Blunt has ordered the Confederate flag to fly
Sunday at the Confederate Memorial State Historic Site in
Higginsville.

Blunt directed the Confederate flag to fly Sunday at the request of
Rep. Mike McGhee, R-Odessa, whose district includes the historical
site. "Those soldiers died for that flag. That's the one day honoring
those soldiers and it should fly for that day," McGhee said....

Missouri never joined the Confederacy, but was a divided state during
the Civil War, with some residents fighting for the Union and some for
the Confederacy.

Being from North Carolina, I question the propriety of their
using it in official ceremonies considering they were never a part
of the Confederacy. Seems that they're trying to have it both ways.

"They" aren't doing anything. A gop flack Governor is trying to get
brownie points from his right wing fringe.

Cheney's Endorsement of Arthur Andersen Accounting

"The company [Halliburton] obviously has a long historic relationship
with Arthur Andersen. It's been a very important part of the business.
. . ."They also have, uh, one of the things I like that they do for us,
is in effect, I get good advice, if you will, from their people based on
how we're doing business, over and above the sort normal by-the-books
auditing arrangement."

Makes about as much sense as the MO governer's reasoning.

Why does the right go out of its way to spread dissension?

Because they have to divide the lunatic fringe off from the common man
to assemble their "majority". Racists, bigots, anti-imigrants,
theocrats, RR, on and on. They can assemble a melange of anger and
sickness and motivate them to vote.

i wonder how vietnam vets would feel if i flew the vietnamese flag on
their independence day (which was on 30 april, they call it reunification
day...) the north fought for a noble cause..to reunify their country and
for its independence from foreign rulers and influence. now, if you want
to say communism is worse than slavery then go ahead.

Let's fly the British flag one Sunday to honor the fallen soldiers on the
British side of the American Revolution many of those were southern
Americans also.

The Confederate soldiers lost the Civil War. They deserved to lose, and
it's good they lost. They deserve no honor from this country because they
added nothing to this country other than it's worst war.

Then fly BOTH flags ... that of the CSA and that used by
the union at the time. 'Historical' displays should be
balanced and accurate.

Should the Swastika be flown over german graveyards of
WWII? Do you "honor" traitors and slavers? Envy?

If a German soldier died for Germany - then I'd say fly
a regular German flag. SS types - who died for Hitler -
I'm not sure they deserve any respect at all. They
were not decent men engaged in respectable business.

The CSA soldiers mostly WERE decent men, fighting
what they saw as the good cause of freedom and
independence from an oppressor. They may have
been mistaken, but they weren't evil.

Yeah, all those plantation owners, with their
"bed-warmers" just the kind of people *you'd* want
to associate with and have your daughter marry.

Traitors. Your kind of folk.
