She may be “late”, but she still has 10x the IQ of the Obamadork.

And she exposes the Hillabeast as the unaccomplished little b*tch she is.

Gads, I really admired Ms Thatcher.

I was SO Lucky to have been in my Late Teens and 20s in the 1980s. Lech Walsa, President Reagan, Prime Minister Thatcher and Pope John Paul II. What a Magical Decade.

I loved Margaret Thatcher and revere her memory but Winston Churchill is still the “Greatest Briton”, IMHO.

Amazingly though the internet “humor” site (becoming more left-wing by the day) Cracked.com lumped her in with Stalin, and Charles Manson in a post called:

As with Phil Robertson, the left may wail and scream, but, in the end, real results are all that matters.

I wholeheartedly concur.

I think God wanted us to feel what it was like to be surrounded by real leaders, so that when we got Clinton and Obama we would really understand the difference.

And the media vilified both Reagan and Thatcher. I remember it well, and I teach my children.

I remember at the time wondering whether conservatism had reached a high-water mark. ( Wistful sigh)
