Don’t Be Fooled, It’s Just More Obama Trickery

Let it be said as we head into 2012: Barack Obama is no fool. He’s pretty darn slick in fact.

However, this qualification coming from the EUG doesn’t give BO the ability to lead this country toward greatness. His many failures in this regard are already proven.

Obama’s ideology of what America is all about and why the country’s economy has been so spectacular over the past 235 plus years has obviously been short circuited through liberal progressivism and Marxist attrition. Given today’s economic stagnation and increase in social divisiveness, why he continues down the same path toward destruction becomes clearer each day.

Yes, the Obama’s left for Hawaii and are now likely basking on the beaches and on the golf courses. This, of course, being the umpteenth vacation, and one that BO said he wasn’t going to take due to a Congress in crisis over an undoable, two-month extension of the payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits.

The U.S. House and Senate continue to posture with the thought of which party will be the winner in 2012 dancing in their heads. If Obama and his cronies really believe Americans can’t see through his campaign strategy and Reid’s bogus ultimatum, they are truly trapped in Beltway narcissism.

This week’s war games on Capitol Hill will ultimately come back to bite Dems in the butt.

Peter Ferrara, the author of America’s Ticking Bankruptcy Bomb and former policy advisor to Ronald Reagan, sheds a bit more light on the current president whose economic policy and tax and spending fantasies have been instrumental in moving this nation to the brink of collapse. He thoughtfully asks his readers to lift up the hood, and take a closer look at why this country remains on the brink of collapse after three years of Obama lip service.

Ferrara explains in Our Marxist Wizard of Oz, “Instead of the American capitalist model maximized by Reaganomics [which worked!], Obama tells us to look at the basic infrastructure spending of other countries as the model that works. But American economic growth is not suffering because of a lack of basic infrastructure like a third world country. It is suffering because Obama is so doggedly pursuing the opposite of every policy that would free the economy to produce and boom. Under such Obamanomics, soon enough America will be suffering from the lack of a reliable energy grid like a third world country.”

I think the biggest tragedy is that none of this had to happen, or at least it could have been prevented. If only Americans had asked more questions of Obama and received factual answers from mainstream media.

Ferrara explains in no uncertain terms, “What Obama is peddling to America on tax policy is only the ugliest example of his well-established rhetorical style of calculated deception. It is based on what he thinks the average voter does not know and will not know, and can be manipulated to believe to Obama's political advantage. For the picture he is painting of the rich getting away without paying their fair share while working people bear most of the tax burden is the opposite of reality.”

“This [calculated deception] all adds up to a brew for another recession in 2013, unless the American people force a change in course in 2012,” Ferrara adds.

My bet: a tidal wave of commonsense change and a flushing of Congress next year.

Gingrich Fawns Over FDR, One of the Most Liberal Democrats of 20th Century

Yeah, Gingrich can expound and debate with the best. However, it's still important to look under the hood before you buy. I am not sure I like a lot of what is coming out of Newt's mouth including his position on immigration. Either way, it's still important to get it all out on the table, don't you think?!

EUG's Ode to Pearl Harbor Day

Not sure about other bloggers but I know there are some days and weeks that just give my mind craps. Nothing flows, the brain is jammed.

I was having one those weeks. Until I abruptly remembered tomorrow was Pearl Harbor Day.







Coincidentally, my almost 16-year old son came home last week and announced he got his FIRST choice of May interim trip at his private school — Oahu!

My first reaction: Oahu, are you freaking kidding me?! 
Let me add a precursor to this story, my son’s private school is wonderful, don’t get me wrong. We pay the price and it’s worth it. It’s a school that prides itself on the extracurricular and advanced curriculum it offers its young minds.

Despite the glowing PSA, I was still shell shocked by the trip and cost. I was expecting maybe Moab (Southern Utah) or maybe something equally as magnificent. More importantly, I was expecting a trip that was a lot less expensive.

For the record, we are still deep in recession despite what Obama would have you believe about the economy he single handedly rescued from end-of-world doom in 2008.

And, regardless of whether you are the 99% or 1%, the economy and job growth still, as my son would say, suck.

Okay, I digress. Then it occurred to me as we dive into December that my son was going to Oahu and would be visiting the Pearl Harbor Memorial. This so-called “interim” trip, it appears, might not just be about surfing, sun and bikinis after all. Culture and learning might just take place despite the ocean breezes.

I thought about the experience my son will have next May as he walks through the spectacular memorial on the water that honors the thousands of lives that were lost and injured on December 7, 1941.

I’ve never visited Oahu or the Pearl Harbor Memorial, and I am kind of sad about it. But, my son will and that’s what matters most to me especially as we so desperately try to regain America’s honor and pride in itself.

Despite his youth, my son will hopefully achieve a deeper level of understanding about the magnitude of what these brave men and women did that day to protect America from further harm despite the surprise attack.

My hope is that he takes his time and inquisitively wanders by the plaques, listens to the stories about the heroes and soaks up the World War II history of a nation that despite the daunting odds, fought back on two sides of the world for freedom and won.

Star Parker: A Shining Star for “…One Nation Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for All”

I am not sure which excerpt from Star Parker’s Nov 21 blog post, “The Declaration of Independence defining our principles” was more poignant and inspiring.

Initially, I felt sure it was Parker’s question to readers: “Is it not sad that most basic violations of individual liberty are not intuitively obvious to so many citizens and members of Congress?”

Yeah, I thought after reading this, we are a fabulously rich nation whose intuition for freedom and understanding of what it means to be truly free appear to have violently short circuited somewhere along the line.

But then, I kept reading Parker’s blog and found this insightful tidbit: “Perhaps what the ongoing saga of American history is about is the struggle to understand and apply our operating manual -- our Constitution --in a manner consistent with the principles of our nation’s founding.”

We are a nation subversively compromised by an anti-Americanism creep through the core institutions that fundamentally rely on the dogma of the U.S. Constitution and The Declaration of Independence to survive: family, education, and economy.

I agree with Parker’s conclusion that there’s a massive disconnect between our Constitutional “operating manual” and founding principles. I also contend that we need look no further than our education institutions to place a certain level of blame.

I just hope as a country and society inherently steeped in freedom that we are able to blend these two exceptional guiding epistles before it’s too late for our children’s and grandchildren’s sake.

While 2012 and America’s future is somewhat uncertain, what I can tell you for certain is Star Parker, and her knack for being intuitively right on the mark, makes her this week’s EUG Cool Conservative.

Horowitz & Newt On OWS Protestors: Back to Back Totally Awesome Smackdowns

It makes my heart sing when someone with the stature and knowledge of David Horowitz, founder of the David Horowitz Freedom Center and editor of FrontPage Magazine, has the courage to come right out and tell it like it is: “They are idiots!” The OWS protestors are idiots, no joke. However, it’s a very sad protest and on several levels.

Watch the David Horowitz video if you need a little more convincing.


To make matters worse, these protestors appear to have no idea how played they are —since birth—by the very same liberal ilk Horowitz used to be part of years ago and knows so well.

As the angry in New York and nationwide continue to chant on behalf of far-left, progressives such as Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the POTUS, all of whom ironically belong to the 1 percent, and are rapidly driving the U.S. Constitution into the ground, the President continues to travel around the world campaigning. Let’s face it…he continues to avoid the ire of the American people and Congressional foes from the very tangible destruction he has brought on this nation.

In my opinion, it’s the unabashed hypocrisy of OWS that is the most daunting right now. It’s never been so open and so in our faces. The virulent outburst by media and entertainers such as Jimmy Fallon and the cowardly, musical smack down of Michele Bachmann’s entrance on his show last night are just more of the same liberal desperation and the bubbling up of a nation in serious distress without a leader who truly wants to solve the problems for all Americans.

No, Obama has not made things better. He’s made them exponentially worse and the facts, numbers and the Occupiers smacking down policeman and those willing to put in a hard day’s work exist today to prove it.

I think Newt said it best this week, telling Occupy Wall Street, “go get a job after you take a bath.” Newt further broke it down for those in a PC stuper by adding Thomas Jefferson’s and John Smith’s warning to American settlers that they could not eat if they did not work. This, Newt emphasized, embedded a “deep sense of responsibility” in the American psyche.

In contrast, Newt argued that the Occupy movement was grounded in entitlement stating, “…all the Occupy movement starts with [is] the premise that we all owe them everything.”

We don’t.

As I prepare food for Thanksgiving and look forward to dining with friends this Thursday, I continue to be thankful for the men like Newt and Horowitz (and the many women) who dare to speak the truth.
