She was a tough ol' broad

[BigK]

Margaret Thatcher passed away this morning at the age of 87. We could do a lot worse for a first female president than the likes of her.

R.I.P. "Iron Lady"

She was the iron lady and, IMAHO, ranks up there with some of the greatest leaders we've had in the past century or so.

 

May she rest in peace; I'm sure she and RR will be enjoy seeing each other again.

Meanwhile, the bionic queen is still rocking.

Hilary will never in her wildest dreams ever measure up to Margaret, just like Slick Willie could never measure up to Reagan. Two great conservatives and two lying conniving socialist dreaming of their Utopia.

I love that clip of her riding in the tank...classic!

"She was a tough ol' broad"

Those were the exact words that went through my head when I heard the news.

She was a great example of what a leader should be.

RIP

I barely remember her, was a carefree teen and government was not really on my radar yet.  Remember her in the news a ton and that she worked well with us.

 

never thought I would say it but over the last 5 years I have come to a new appreciation for slick willie...

Margaret Thatcher on "Consensus"

"Consensus is the absence of Leadership"

"Ah consensus … the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects; the process of avoiding the very issues that have to be solved, merely because you cannot get agreement on the way ahead.  What great cause would have been fought and won under the banner 'I stand for consensus'?"
 

[BigK]

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.” 
- Margaret Thatcher

 

"Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction."

 

- Margaret Thatcher

Man, some of the leftists out there are really beclowning themselves by celebrating her death.
