I understand that Margaret Thatcher passed away. Sad to see her go, but the great ones do so soon, it seems.
I for one think America and England lived through some of their greatest days in history under Thatcher and President Ronald Reagan.
England was a heading towards a total Socialist nation when Thatcher came into power. The Government controlled eveything in business, industry, education, etc. The Iron Lady lowered taxes, cut spending and freed up business and industry, so it could prosper and it did. Now we here in America are heading, under Obama, right down the tubes to Socialism, as England was. The people of the US don't seem to have the mental capacity to understand this. No country in history has ever survived and prosperred under Socialism. It always ends in war and bloodshed. We have always heard kids in school say, "why do I have to know about history of the past? I don't see why I need to know about things that happened years ago? What does that have to do with us now?" Well the answer is when you don't know the mistakes of the past, you are bound to repeat them.
And we are repeating the mistakes of the past by others. The definition of a "fool" is someone that keeps trying to do the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result. Socialism will always end badly.
God Bless "The Iron Lady"
and God Help America
