"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

Thomas Jefferson

Sorry buddy - your first two "quotes" are falsely attributed.

Here's info on the Jeffereson one: http://www.snopes.com/quotes/jefferson/banks.asp

I'll assume the third is authentic, though! wink

When I found the second one, it was attributed to Jefferson, but it is unverified, apparently.
Jefferson quote

Boy, trying to research that Hitler quote brought up a lot of hate stuff. I forget where I found that one, but I stopped looking for verification.

Yes, the third one is all me.

Here's another one:

"Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories."
Thomas Jefferson

Little quotes like this can be great, but beware the bumper sticker conservative brain.

Your irony is misplaced, because it's absolutely true that conservatism gets as far as it does by reducing the complicated issues of the world to a bumper sticker. Name an issue and I'll make my case, but the most blatant example is the idea that you can explain something as complicated as macroeconomics in a single sentence.

This kind of thing:

"The idea that government spending creates jobs makes sense only if you never ask where the government got the money." -Riedl (who works for the Heritage Foundation, which is the right-wing equivalent to the Communist Party).

It sounds good but it's blatant bullshit, in other words.
