Obama  is a cuckoo's nestling, a little gift from the obsessively anti-American left,  who has been dropped deceptively into our mainstream politics. Cuckoos are  called "brood parasites" because they drop their eggs into strangers' nests, to  leave the hard work of incubating and raising the young bird to a deceived  mother bird.  Deception happens all the time in the animal kingdom, like all the times my cat fakes me out by  mewing at the door, only to stand there and sniff the air when I get up and open  up for her. Cuckoos have deception built into their genes.

Obama  is himself a grand deception. He used to look arrogant beyond belief, but now  he's humble, wearing Jimmy Carter sweaters, sitting all alone in a baseball  stadium munching a hot dog, and leaning back on his "family couch" next to  Michelle, with the television cameras  taking a narrow angle as if they're sitting crowded together in a double-wide  trailer. (Like the rest of us).

The  only trouble with Obama's phony humility is that narcissists like him rarely  change. The Norwegians gave him a Nobel Peace Prize just for getting elected,  but they should have given him an Academy Award.  This is world-class  conmanship.  Behind the scenes he's more arrogant than  ever.

Still,  the hard left is very afraid, judging by their over-the-top hysteria and  name-calling. It's fear that drives their rage, probably because they know what  oddballs they are in America. They are afraid of you. They think you're the Joe  McCarthy of their nightmares. They are scared by their own propaganda. Their  fear of America explains a lot of their actions.

The  hard left has tried to infiltrate mainstream American politics before, with some  success. Harry Hopkins, FDR's famous right-hand man (it was all men in  those days), is now known to have hopped into a car with Soviet agents every now  and then, to get away from J. Edgar Hoover's microphones.  Senator Al Gore,  Sr., was said to be Armand Hammer's wholly-owned US Senator from Tennessee, and  Hammer was the George Soros of his time: The biggest oil-owning  multi-millionaire in the country who also was amazingly warm pals with all the  Soviet leaders from Lenin forward.  In 1948 Harry Truman barely beat a very  pro-Soviet Henry Wallace for the presidential nomination. Had Wallace won,  the Soviet Union might still be goose-stepping on the world stage  today.

Still,  Obama is the first real cuckoo nestling in the US presidency, not because of  various mysteries about his birth and relationships (which are pretty well known  to conservatives), but because he is ideologically foreign and instinctively  anti-American -- as the word "American" has been understood since 1776.   This fact is either very "progressive" or it's a disaster. The Communist  Party USA thinks it's terrific.

Which  is why the left fears you. They are very, very insecure in their hold on power.  Watch for the 2012 election to be unusually bloody, because the current  political/media class is teetering. When the New York Times' staff goes  into open revolt against their Crony Media Bosses you know there's turmoil in  the ranks.

All  of which means both a great crisis and a great opportunity for mainstream  America. A second Obama term could flip the country leftward for years to come.  Mark Steyn argues that a second term will implant the shark hook of ObamaCare firmly into the body  politic, turning us into the United States of Europe. Europe has crippled its  military to pay for the welfare state. Instead, they always expect us to defend  them, as we have done for sixty years.

But  if we go Eurosocialist, who will defend us? Nobody will.

The  Trojan War was won by deception and infiltration, not outright war. The  Bolshevik Revolution was won by infiltration and deception, when Kaiser  Wilhelm's generals sent V.I. Lenin to Moscow to overthrow the social democrats.  Hitler came close to conquering Britain, not by  Luftwaffe bombings, but by  persuading King Edward VII to undermine the Churchill government so Edward could  become Hitler's regent. The Soviets infiltrated British intelligence in the  1930s and never left.

Judging  by the political power of radical Muslim billionaires in Europe and America, a  lot of Gulf oil money may be going to leftist causes today.  Our campuses  are too often dominated by Muslim student organizations. The oil sheikhs of the  Gulf gave Al Gore an ecology prize a couple of years ago because they really  want to support solar energy, you see? They don't want to sell all that oil and  exercise all that political power in the West.

The  radical left is certainly out of the closet. The simple fact that the Tea Party  scares the Cronycrats is all we need to know. While the Old Media are a lost  cause, the New Media are getting bigger and better. The only way to mobilize  conservatives is through the New Media.

It's  going to be a very close call.

What  are you waiting for?
