When you look up extremist politician in most any dictionary you'll find Missouri Governor Matt Blunt. He is one of those guys who prays for unborn babies and then cuts health care and educational spending for actual live children.
Now he is bringing back a symbol to the state sure to inflame emotions in this racially divided community: The Confederate Flag.
You remember this good old symbol of slavery, don't you?
Gov. Matt Blunt of Missouri has ordered that the Confederate battle flag be flown Sunday at a state cemetery where former rebel soldiers were buried, a move denounced by black leaders.
A spokesman for Governor Blunt, a Republican, said the flag would fly at the Confederate Memorial State Historic Site in Higginsville for a Confederate Memorial Day service. But the spokesman said Mr. Blunt also supported a review of whether it would be appropriate to fly the flag regularly at the site.
The flag had flown daily at the Higginsville site until it was ordered down in 2003 by the administration of Gov. Bob Holden, a Democrat.
No one needs time to study that the Confederate Flag - the flag of racism and treason - has no place in America today. Blunt has shown his true colors with this move.
