Off topic sorry, this thread will continue until one of two outcomes happens. There mst be some sort of tally the mods are keeping and I would bet that this has been a very popular topic. For a few days, people were just copying and pasting or linking, recently these copies and pastes have been accompanied by little one liner comments. Please keep the comments with the posts, it helps us out here who respect the posters know where they stand and also to interpret the information better. Thanks again.

Now that is a pickle of pickles!
We all know Obama is catering to the people who helped his campaign, but this is like being in bed with the reason you lost your job.
The Bankers' Manifesto of 1892

The courts must be called to our aid, debts must be collected, bonds and mortgages foreclosed as rapidly as possible.
*As foreclosures mount, Florida court turns to 'rocket docket'*

When, through the process of law, the common people have lost their homes,
they will be more tractable and easily governed through the influence of the strong arm
of the government applied to a central power of imperial wealth under the control of the leading financiers.
People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. History repeats itself in regular cycles. This truth is well known among our principal men who are engaged in forming an imperialism of the world. While they are doing this, the people must be kept in a state of political antagonism.
The question of tariff reform must be urged through the organization known as the Democratic Party, and the question of protection with the reciprocity must be forced to view through the Republican Party.
By thus dividing voters, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us, except as teachers to the common herd. Thus, by discrete actions, we can secure all that has been so generously planned and successfully accomplished.
