Global food prices have reached a nominal all-time high, surpassing the previous peak seen in 2007-08, when food riots rocked the poorer countries of the world. The consensus is that due to weather, demand and smaller inventories, the prices of the basic food commodities will surge even further. The cost of a barrel of Brent crude oil is approaching $100.00 and some estimates indicate it may hit as much as $120.00. All the futures prices of metals and other commodities vital to manufacturing are also nearing or exceeding all time highs.

Here is where we are going to find out if the Stupid Party wants to remain the Stupid Party because no matter how many diversion games the RATS and their media allies play, none of these things is hidden from the public. Every time we go to the supermarket or the gas station, we get slammed in the face with the objects of their diversions. I don't need a media story to tell me that gas is over $3.25 a gallon or that my food dollar is bringing home fewer bags.

What I do need is for the guys who are supposed to be on my side of the aisle to be forceful in pointing out the mess created by the RATS and their media allies instead of hiding under their desks and allowing themselves to be blamed for everything now that they control just one house of Congress. Just walk out there and connect the dots of increased regulation and higher gas prices, increased regulation and higher food prices, and so on and so forth.

And for the record, the RINOs have been on the defensive over the past week; conservatives have been on the offensive taking the fight to the RATS and their media allies. Rush, Levin, Beck, and Sarah Palin haven't been saying, "Oh wait, please let me explain what I meant by that," but instead have been saying, "You're not pinning that crap on us, but we're pinning that and a whole lot more on you. And we're not going to stop no matter how many times and way you try to do it."

Wait a minute.
Just 2 weeks ago I heard it announced that inflation was very low....excluding fuel and food. Hellll oooo !
And they announced it with a straight face.
Yesterday I heard that inflation was only 1 1/2% for the month. They were crowing about it.
Is that for the month?? Works out to a huge yearly hit.
