Margaret Thatcher, known as the Iron Lady–and for a reason–has passed away. Thatcher was one of the trinity of world leaders that changed the world in the 1970s and 80s.
She, along with U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II, brought conservative principles into world renown and rescued her nation from the hell of a socialist downward trend.
Sadly, both her country and ours have slid right back into the anti-modern, anti-liberty socialism Thatcher and Reagan laid low thanks to idiots like UK PM Tony Blair and our own communist, Barack Obama.
But for a few brief, shining decades, the team of Reagan/Thatcher brought the world back from the brink of socialist financial ruin as well as the brink of war from, cold to hot, as the pair beat the evil juggernaut of the Soviet Union.
To know what Margaret Thatcher was made of, just view one of her last raucous moments on the floor of the House of Commons where she utterly blows away a communist twit in a battle of wits that proves her opponent came to the fight unarmed.
Fantastic.
Lady Margaret Thatcher, 87, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, RIP, April 8, 2013.
