Bernanke critics are on the attack (Joe Raedle/Getty Images) What is the most likely cause today of civil unrest? Immigration. Gay Marriage. Abortion. The Results of Election Day. The Mosque at Ground Zero. Nope. Try the Federal Reserve.

not directly, but long-term, indirectly… yeah, it could happen.

We may breathe for a time under the blighting shadow of a splendid, national, consolidated government; but, sir, it will be to us and our posterity the calm of despotism. Virginia will be Virginia no longer. She may, indeed, retain her place on that map; her rivers may continue to rail to the ocean; and her mountains may lift their eternal summits to the skies; but her spirit will be gone, and she will tamely crouch under the rod of tyrants. When we yield this principle of State Sovereignty, let us strike our proud motto from our arms, for the broken chain and the dagger, her sic semper tyrannis, and all the recollections of her ancient glory, will only remain as sad memorials of her degradation. To live under such a government is not the liberty I desire. I would rather have a crust of bread and a cup of cold water in a wilderness, where I was free, than to tread the halls of palaces, and be a slave.
- Mr. Gilmer, of Albemarle, Richmond Enquirer, 1833
