Never mind that in the 2010 elections, the split was Democrats=31%, Republicans=28%, Independents=26%.

Get a Grip! AP pollsters. Your sample was so skewed it can't be taken seriously. Next time you'll tell us that Osama bin Laden is supported by 55% of the world population - and we'll see that the sample was Islamofascists=30%, Other Muslims=40%, Christians=10%, All Others=20%.

Get a Grip! pollsters. Conservatives aren't stupid. Trump is not a conservative and they know it. They like him for taking on the Obama lies and incompetence, but they're not about to replace one fraud with another.

Get a Grip! Ms. Pelosi. You used the 2008 elections to bludgeon us all with massive bailouts and the Obamacare monstrosity. I guess what you're really saying is elections should only matter when we Democrats win. People should ignore them when the Republicans win.

Get a Grip! Coldwater. Aren't the banners and signs free speech? Isn't that a Constitutionally protected right?

According to a posting by the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, a lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court.

And of course he thinks about jobs in large part because lower unemployment is key to his reelection. It's interesting, though, that according to John Crudele in the New York Post many of the Obama Labor Department's jobs numbers are mere guesses. Of the Labor Department's reported 216,000 new jobs created in March, 117,000 (54%) are jobs "that the department thinks, but can't prove, were created by newly formed companies that might not even exist. In fact, the department is getting so optimistic about the labor market that it increased this imaginary job count from just 81,000 in March, 2010."

Get a Grip! Mr. President. We the People aren't as stupid as you think we are. Your imaginary new jobs numbers won't get you reelected.

Unless, of course, they think re-runs will be as popular as the first-run versions.

Not likely.

Get a Grip! Democrats. Give us something new. Maybe just admit it ... just tell us "I like taking money from hard working folks so I can live as well as them without all that nasty effort."

In any event, Bill Whittle has produced the video below which blows a hole right through the Democrats' logic (let's see, Democrats and logic ... must be an oxymoron). And it's pretty amusing, too.

For those of us who live in the real world, explaining our decision making process like that to our bosses would be greeted with derision. When we grow up into adults we learn that decisions need to be based on what's worked in the past and what's likely to work in the present case. In other words, adults use consistency and precedent in their decision making process.

Get a Grip! Mr. McDonough. And Get a Grip! Mr. President. You're supposed to act like adults, at least in matters of war. Maybe your style works in community organizing and rallying protest marches, but winging it just isn't a suitable way to conduct world affairs.

The newest Weinerism may have broken new ground.

During a recent speech he said that "a lot of people who got waivers (from the Affordable Care Act [aka ObamaCare]) were ... people who are our friends." So, he contended, "this notion that the government is shoving the bill down people's throats" is not true.

Hmmm ... let's follow the logic here.

• The Pelosi-Reid Congress passed a fatally flawed monstrosity known widely as ObamaCare.
• People found out "what (was) in it" after Congress passed it and hated it even more.
• Many of the law's biggest supporters and Obama's biggest contributors asked for and received waivers so the law won't apply to them.
• That shows
  • A. Weinerism: The law is flexible.
  • B. Truth: The liberal elites will exempt themselves and their cronies from their monstrous creations.

I choose B. Truth!

Get a Grip! Congressman Weiner. Your efforts to exempt New Yorkers from ObamaCare may be popular with your constituents and help you in your bid to be New York's next Mayor. But only by your use of another in a long line of Weinerisms can you stand logic on its head and call cronyism an example of ObamaCare's flexibility.

We can only hope that New Yorkers are smarter than the suckers Congressman Weiner is playing them for.

A friend of mine who lives in Wisconsin even sent me some photos of a demonstration with the caption "What Does Democracy Look Like?" He was sure that the demonstrators, all snug against the Wisconsin cold in their higher than average income winter coats, were showing us all "what democracy looks like."

To my friend, who I'll allow to remain nameless here, I must simply say, Get a Grip! Democracy looks like elections. On November 2, 2010, just four months ago, the good and fair citizens exercised their democratic rights and voted the union-hostage Democrats out of control of both houses of the Wisconsin Assembly as well as the Governor's office.

That's what democracy looks like.

The public employee union demonstrators, on the other hand, look like an unruly mob of spoiled brats whining that they're not happy with the citizens who exercized their democratic rights.

The gone to sleep media want to believe that President Obama has made a mid-term correction and turned moderate, in much the same way that Bill Clinton seemed to do. But, to paraphrase the famous quote, we know Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama is no Bill Clinton.

Bill Clinton was and still is the consummate politician, able to turn fiction into fact with the turn of a phrase, like “ending welfare as we know it.” He tried two times to preserve it, via vetoes, before taking credit for ending it. A less artful commentator than I would simply say that Clinton lied. Still, you have to give credit to Clinton for shifting enough of his activity to match his rhetoric to preserve his own reelection.

Barack Obama has done nothing of the sort. So far, he has done nothing more than curtail his rhetoric from shrill haranguing against "fat cat" business people, Republicans, Tea Partiers, gun owners, religious believers, Fox News and others he sought to portray as the evil right. Based on the elections, of course, that attempt was mostly unsuccessful.

Obama’s actions, however, reveal not a politician, but a true believer. For spending reduction, he’s offered nothing more than $40 billion a year, or less than 1.2% of last year’s federal spending. For reducing entitlements, he’s said he’d be happy to discuss them, but his previous rhetoric about seeing “seniors starve on the streets,” makes it unlikely that any reasonable dialogue will occur, much less any meaningful action.

Instead, Obama wants us to pursue more, not less, government action. His new “Sputnik moment” will have us draining our wallets into the sink hole of renewable energy programs like the $6 billion ethanol subsidy boondoggle (even Al Gore now admits it was wrong) and the Government Motors $41,000 Chevy Volt that can travel only 40 miles before its gasoline engine kicks on to finish the trip. Oh, yeah. This is an “investment,” not spending. Heck, even Bill Clinton knows that rhetoric won’t pass the smell test.

Barack Obama is not a politician so much as a true believer, as described in Eric Hoffer’s 1951 classic, The True Believer. He is a believer in his “New Foundation” movement, a period of transformational change, for which he is willing to sacrifice himself and us for the movement’s glorious future goals. When facts get in the way, they must be trivialized and distorted. For, as Hoffer observed, “all active mass movements strive…to interpose a fact-proof screen between the faithful and the realities of the world. They do this by claiming that the ultimate and absolute truth is already embodied in their doctrine and that there is no truth or certitude outside it. The facts on which the true believer bases his conclusions must not be derived from his experience or observation but from holy writ.”

The tenets of Obama’s holy writ are environmentalism, collectivism and social justice, all inscribed with an anti-colonial air.

Get a Grip!, Mr. President. We didn’t hear dreams from our fathers about overthrowing capitalist imperialists. We didn’t seek out radicals in our formative years. We didn't spend twenty years sitting in the pew of your anti-American “pastor.”

We just want our government to stay within its Constitutional limits and let us get on with our lives as we see fit.

We see a glorious future, too. One that we make for ourselves.

Fortunately, reality set in quickly, for I was reminded of what Victor Davis Hanson said not long ago about our current President. “What Barack Obama says, unfortunately, is not a guide to what he does.”

Then there’s the total incredulity that takes over if you try to make sense of what Mr. Obama actually believes. He said that he will stimulate “new jobs that pay well" such as "installing solar energy panels."

Let’s see now. Nobody buys solar energy panels unless they’re heavily subsidized with taxpayer-funded tax credits or rebates. No private investors have put their money into solar energy panels that aren’t heavily subsidized. So left alone with nothing more than their entrepreneurial skills, nobody could make a buck manufacturing, selling or installing solar energy panels unless the taxpayers were subsidizing it.

So these new jobs installing solar energy panels are “jobs that pay well” only because the taxpayers are subsidizing them.

Get a Grip! Mr. President. We need “jobs that pay well” because they’re producing something that people are willing to buy without government bureaucrats tipping the scales.

Hmmm, do we have a chicken and egg problem here? Gee, Nick, isn’t it more reasonable to claim that perpetrating violent crimes will lead to a low income (because you’re likely to spend a lot of time in jail)? Doesn’t high narcotics use lead to a low income since it interferes with productive work (or do some columnists join rock stars in claiming that their productivity may actually increase with narcotics use)? And don’t teenage moms earn low incomes simply because they’re diverted from income-producing pursuits by their premature parental circumstances?

I suspect that my soul would be melancholy, too, if I was in jail for the crimes I’d committed, had my brain fried by narcotics or had the burden of parenting a child when I was still a child myself. Heck, compared to those problems, low income seems to be a pretty minor issue.

But, then, I don’t have an agenda of promoting left-wing income redistribution programs. If I really wanted to deal with “income equality,” as Nicholas Kristof seems to desire, I’d concentrate on reducing violent crime, reducing narcotics use and preventing teenage pregnancies.

So, Get a Grip! Nick. Focus on the cause, not the symptom.
