Of course, this is what 150 years of pro-Confederate propaganda creates.
Iowa Conservative Radio Host Backs The South In The Civil War
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 6/9/2015 3:10 pm
GOP presidential candidates are flocking to a conservative talk show hosted by Jan Mickelson, along with programs hosted by Steve Deace and Simon Conway, since these Iowa-based radio personalities hold sway over the upcoming February 1 caucuses. On Friday, Mickelson spoke to two announced candidates, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who told him during the show that President Obama is redistributing poverty to states like Iowa, and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). When Graham tried to draw a parallel between the American Civil War and the current conflict in Iraq, Mickelson jumped in to defend the Confederacy: I dont consider the North amongst ourselves. You mentioned capturing territory, Im considering [Fort] Sumter South Carolinian territory and you were invaded, pretty much like the Russians are invading the Ukraine. Graham pleaded: I cant go down that road. Im all for the union. Mickelson is not alone, as Deace regularly hosts secessionist Michael Peroutka, who blamed the Norths victory on supposed societal ills such as gay marriage.

What does that mean? To fly both flags at once? Is he glad the US beat the Confederacy? Is it supposed to designate dual citizenship? Maybe he's just a moron.
