Margaret Thatcher, the former British prime minister, has died. She was 87.
(Excerpt) Read more at cbc.ca ...
What a horridly written and biased obituary: the only reference to her impact on the UK and its economy is to report that unemployment quickly doubled once she began privatization?
RIP-Iron Maiden!
We shall not see her kind on this world ever again. She and Dutch are now together, sadly shaking their heads of what we did with what they did...
Prayers for her family.
God rest the soul of a REAL woman and world-class leader! Her type of strong leadership is sadly missing these days...
Mrs. Thatcher ranks with Churchill in the ranks of those who have stood hard in the defense of freedom.
She will be missed.
One of my heroes. A brilliant lady and leader to whom the world owes a great debt of gratitude. I am thankful to have seen her speak in person in the mid-1990’s. Rest in Peace Iron Lady.
RIP Maggie... you'll be missed!
The photos of these icons makes me long for an America which has been squandered away.
Godspeed, Mrs. Thatcher.
She convinced this former chauvinist that women can be great leaders when they stick to conservative principles. (Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman, etc are other examples).
The mid-to-late 70s were a disaster. Carter was in office. Oil embargos. Iran went from ally to enemy. The Soviet Union flexed its muscles everywhere. Third-world despots felt empowered to take charge, including Argentina. America was transitioning from 60s-type hippies to disco-hedonism. Nobody respected government.
Then the Reagan-Thacher-JPII juggernaut turned things around.
Our greatest ally during the closing years of the Cold War. The world is far poorer for her loss. She was truly one of the greats.
RIP....
That photo elicits the strongest sense of nostalgia. What we used to be.
Britain was certainly in the toilet whem Maggie came along.
Brits can call themselves VERY lucky that Maggie came along, was who she was and did what she did.
R.I.P. to this great lady...she had no equal.
RIP. You were one of the great ones.
God blessed us with Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. RIP, brave lady.
RIP. Much respect.
Reagan and Thatcher, two GIANTS in the fight for conservatism and freedom, have now left us. RIP, Iron Lady!
Lord our God, rest the soul of Thy servant Margaret among the saints and have mercy on what remains of England.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, in the company of St. George and other saints, amen.
