I guess we should consider it progress that DeMint is admitting that the Civil War was about slavery, instead of the common wingnut argument about how it was “really” about tariffs.

Hell no. He’s purposefully conflating and misleading to further an agenda that engages in rampant revisionist history. He and Heritage does no one any favors.

It’s part and parcel with Heritage’s attempts to revise history to try and claim that the individual mandate didn’t originate with them and the GOP. Because that’s an uncomfortable fact from which opposition to the ACA and Obama shows nothing but rank hypocrisy and partisan politics driving the situation and not principles.
