"We should not expect the state to appear in the guise
of an extravagant good fairy at every christening,
a loquacious companion at every stage of life's journey,
and the unknown mourner at every funeral."
by:
Margaret Thatcher
(1925-2013) British Prime Minister (1979–1990)

    This herodin; this destroyer of an Empire who ripped and tore assunder the social-economic fabric of entire nation to benefit an elite few should burn in hell for etenity. She should not be praised, but despised and vilified at every opportunity.

    Thatcher is and was one of those who would have us all shackled under the dark banner of Globalism. (A Destroyer) A quote like this is merely an example of policians saying one thing and doing the opposite.

    L Hanson, burning in hell for eternity seems a little harsh, to put it mildly. I'm always amused when people want some one to burn in hell because they don't agree with them.

    I'm with 'J' and 'L' the Canadians. "The Fascist regime('s)" Grande Dame of Privatization of the public wealth. Even with 'O' as our prez there's the wiff of Fascism here in the U.S.. I'm afraid we'll soon be trading "Amero's" with RonnieRayGun's face on its $1 coin!
