Richard Lugar is upset that he lost his long time senate seat to Richard Mourdock, a position Lugar’s held since 1977. Lugar lost the primary election by more than 20 percentage points so it wasn’t even close. This has sent shock waves of fear through the political establishment of both parties leaving the White House to voice its concern that the GOP is taking an “extremist” turn in Indiana with the election of Mourdock.

Here’s what Lugar said after the election.
He and I share many positions, but his embrace of an unrelenting partisan mindset is irreconcilable with my philosophy of governance and my experience of what brings results for Hoosiers in the Senate. In effect, what he has promised in this campaign is reflexive votes for a rejectionist orthodoxy and rigid opposition to the actions and proposals of the other party. His answer to the inevitable roadblocks he will encounter in Congress is merely to campaign for more Republicans who embrace the same partisan outlook. He has pledged his support to groups whose prime mission is to cleanse the Republican party of those who stray from orthodoxy as they see it.
Well, here’s how it is Richard Lugar and every other establishment politician who has made a career out of politics. Many people are just tired of “compromise.” That word has no place in American government any more. “Compromise” means a right answer has made concessions to a wrong answer to get some weakened idea that is corrupted by stolen value.
“Compromise” means that two sides did not fight it out to find the truth. Compromise means that two political parties decided how to divide up the loot stolen from American citizens in order to pad their own pockets, or political ideology. It is because of that idea of “compromise” that Richard Lugar fought against, is why he lost his seat. He was not fighting for what was right—his vision of right and wrong has been corrupted by too many years in Washington. He should have left the Senate in 1981 and let somebody else serve in his place. It is not the job of American citizens to elect a man into a Senate seat and to hold that position for 20 years giving the GOP a majority in voting, and to “compromise” with looters like Barack Obama, to keep the peace. It’s that type of mentality that has brought America so much trouble and caused our current 15 trillion-dollar budget deficit.
Speaking for myself, I have no desire to maintain the political order of the day, because it has been bad for America. It’s been good for looters and thieves in government who steal public money to build their palaces of worship to themselves, to create their immortality in more and more needless regulation—I don’t want anything to do with more of what’s wrong. If the political establishments who occupy a kind of European nobility in this country that they maintain with looted tax money want to call that “extremism,” then so be it. We have a president in the White House who was mentored by Bill Ayers and many other communist advocates, and are as extreme as the word can be properly defined. So I’ll wear the title proudly, because I want what’s right for my country and my state, not for some corrupt politician seeking “compromise” over what’s reasonably correct.
That is why you lost Richard Luger, and why many others will lose in the upcoming months. Prepare to be shocked. If Indiana does not vote for Richard Mourdock this upcoming fall, then the fault for what follows will be on the voters. But electing a politician into office who will simply compromise with various degrees of socialism to make everyone happy is not the solution of the future, and that kind of nonsense must end quickly. It’s good to see that conservatives like Mourdock no longer care if they are called “extremists” by a bunch of looting Democrats (socialists). Once they no longer care to be called names, then the real fight can begin, a fight that Richard Luger did not participate in, because his goal was to get re-elected to office, and maintain the peace—not to preserve the liberties and freedoms of our nation. His tendency to surrender these principles to the radicals of government over the last 20 years has made it so that liberty and freedom are now considered, “radical.” That’s why he lost his seat, deservedly so.

Right on! Bravo!! Well said!! This is spot-on. It reminds me of a great quote from Erick Erickson of Redstate.com referring to the “evil” modern Democrat party and the inept Republican party:
“There is a quote out there that sometimes get attributed to Republican Senate Leader Everett Dirksen and sometimes not. The quote is that there two parties in Washington — the stupid party and the evil party. Every once in a while the stupid party and the evil party get together and do something that is both stupid and evil. In Washington, that is called bipartisanship.”

Great essay and great comment by Phil. I am old enough to remember Everett Dirkson and he was a true patriot. He had a deep voice that truly got your attention. I loved to hear him speak. I always thought that Lincoln must have sounded like that. He was the best speaker I ever heard and that includes President Reagan who was also great.
As to your thoughts on compromise, I would add the popular ideas of consensus, using committees and of course the “survey.” These are some of the tactics used by the left to divide and conquer any possibilities of opposition to their plans.
We had an expensive trick played on us in Lebanon by our superintendent. He called in a group of people from the community (most hand picked) to participate in an experiment called “the implementation wheel.” Supposedly, this was “the community” deciding what they wanted to keep and cut from the programs. Of course all was controlled from the top and each table was controlled by at least two well trained “strategists” from the staff. The old “Delphi” at work.
We never did hear about the results. Maybe it didn’t work out as planned. I have a feeling that this is how it works in Washington. Pressure is put on all of the new congressmen/women to “go along to get along.” Some fall for it and some don’t. At this point, I have a feeling that if the people the grassroots elected fail to vote the way they promised, they won’t get reelected. There is no going back. Half of this country believes in our Republic and will work to keep it. These people do vote. Half sits back and waits for the check. These people have to be paid to vote. The November election will tell us if enough people care. Apparently, in France, not enough people cared.

People who do such things of course are no different than pick-pocket looters from the street. They only hope by having the law on their side can make it seem OK, but it isn’t. Compromise is the code word for “stick em’ up.” “Your money or your life.” That is the progressive idea of compromise.

Mantia has a “listen in” with the students. Did the students have to listen to her little histrionic tale of woe about the mean old taxpayers refusing to support their education. I would love to give her my wish list for “hope and change.” I don’t think it would fit her agenda.
My kids were once teenagers. I sure that if I had given them a choice to list their every want and whim our budget would have grown much like the Lakota budget.
Many of todays parents think that buying material items buys happiness. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Yes, those mean tax payers who pay her a quarter of a million dollars a year to consult her PR Director before delivering a three line quote to the paper, who calls her lawyer at every question asked of her. You know a looter who cannot speak the truth without fear of “advice.”

Mantia has to consult with the students, teacher’s union, maybe the board, PR person and district paid lawyers. Does she obtain consensus for her visits to the toilet? She seems to be incapable of knowing anything “for sure.” The board can’t fire her because she was given a long term contract. I don’t see any difference between her and any other superintendent. They all have the same CYA policies.
