Virtually all of the founding fathers were Christians. The Declaration of Independence includes this among other references to God: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. To destroy America, to move it toward socialism, starting with the Declaration of Independence, you must first remove God which is a primary pursuit of today's "enlightened" left. Once you remove God as the source of man's rights, then you can pretty much throw out any rights this country was founded upon. Therefore you see the left's agenda, the end that the government is the source of all rights, including life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and any means to achieve this end will be pursued and is being pursued through every effort imaginable today. Here is one of their failed efforts: Message 23969235 from here: thenation.com

ECB President, Jean-Claude Trichet, says inflation could 'explode'Gary Duncan, Economics Editor The President of the European Central Bank (ECB) said yesterday that inflation could explode without action being taken to quell price pressures. Jean-Claude Trichet's comments cemented expectations that the ECB will press ahead today with a controversial increase in eurozone interest rates. In his bluntest signal yet that the ECB will defy political pressure, led by President Sarkozy of France, for it to hold fire, Mr Trichet said: “If we are not resolute, there is a risk that inflation will explode. If we act decisively, then we can master the situation.” His remarks, to the German weekly Die Zeit, left little doubt that the ECB will order a quarter-point rise in eurozone rates to 4.25 per cent. The latest figures showed that the cost of goods leaving eurozone factories rose more sharply than expected. Producer output prices rose by 1.2 per cent in May, to stand 7.1 per cent up on the same time a year ago. They were driven up by soaring energy costs, which were 4.1 per cent higher in May, and up by 18.2 per cent on a year earlier. Holger Schmieding, of Bank of America, said: “This confirms that price pressure is mounting in the pipeline, but much of this pressure still seems to be coming from oil. So it is the same old story, only worse.” This week data showed that eurozone consumer price inflation had risen to a record 4 per cent in June. So-called core producer price inflation in the eurozone, which strips out food and energy prices, also picked up pace in May, rising to 3.8 per cent from an April figure of 3.7 per cent. Economists said that Mr Trichet may seek to underline the ECB's determination to curb inflation by leaving the door open to a further rate rise before the end of the year. Futures markets are pricing in a significant chance of two rate rises before the year is out, although 77 out of 81 European economists polled by Reuters expect that today's likely rate rise will be a one-off until next year. business.timesonline.co.uk
