Kalamata to DiogenesLamp:
"Are you aware that Lincoln campaigned in favor of a national bank throughout his career?
This is one of his earliest stump speeches, if not the earliest: 'Fellow-Citizens: I presume you all know who I am.
I am humble Abraham Lincoln.
I have been solicited by many friends to become a candidate for the Legislature.
My politics are short and sweet, like the old woman's dance.
I am in favor of a national bank.
I am in favor of the internal improvement system, and a high protective tariff.
These are my sentiments and political principles.
If elected, I shall be thankful; if not it will be all the same.'[1]
Kalamata:
"Lincoln's campaign platform is straight out of Henry Clay's rulebook." Also, arguably, from the playbook of nearly every Republican president since then, most notably Donald Trump. ![]()

Kalamari’s campaign platform is straight out of Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals.

They are still unconstitutional, Joey.
