If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck ...

Some supposedly in the know believe President-elect Barack Obama's broad victory will be accompanied by broadly appealing policies and broad-minded appointments.

These experts find solace in the fact only 22 percent of 2008's voters say they are liberal, that 44 percent are moderate and 34 percent conservative. They point out Obama won by convincing an ideologically stable electorate that he isn't a radical, not by shifting the electorate toward radicalism.

Therefore, they claim, Obama will govern as a centrist, not a radical, so there's nothing for us to fear.

I disagree. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, you'd better duck!

Think about it: Obama knows he in truth is the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate. He further knows he brings the least administrative or executive experience of any President-elect into the White House. He of course knows his long-developing plans for America are not what the people want, but he also knows he has successfully deceived a majority into voting for him and now has a golden opportunity not possible in Stalin's dreams.

That takes a great deal of exaggerated pride or deluded self-confidence, doesn't it? Say, isn't that the definition of hubris?

In football, the spot where a runner went down or a referee's penalty flag can mean the difference. Right or not, it goes in the W column and counts as a victory, without an asterisk, toward a bowl berth or even the national championship.

Obama got all the breaks. He prevailed because he fooled enough of the people enough of the time to capture the world's biggest prize for the left. Do you really think he won't now wield the full power of the Oval Office to make good on his win and bring his unAmerican plans to reality?

Be ready for this ungodly enemy of capitalism to do everything in the power of his stealthfully gained office to rewrite the U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights, criminalize Christianity and subvert this great nation as far as he can for as long as he can -- until we, the people, finally wake up and put a stop to his subterfuge.
