Margaret Thatcher Passed away today. 
I will miss her. She reached 87 years old. Soviets called her the “Iron Lady”. Here, above she is pictured with Ronald Reagan, These are two of my greatest heroes in Conservative politics. No one stood up to the left as well as these two did. I hope we can find leaders who will do this again.

Margaret Thatcher Quotes:

[One of my favorites:] “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.” ― Margaret Thatcher
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 
“Being democratic is not enough, a majority cannot turn what is wrong into right. In order to be considered truly free, countries must also have a deep love of liberty and an abiding respect for the rule of law.” ― Margaret Thatcher
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 
“Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren’t.” ― Margaret Thatcher
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 
[My wife will appreciate this one the most:] “In politics, If you want anything said, ask a man. If you want anything done, ask a woman.” ― Margaret Thatcher
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 
“Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It’s not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it’s a day you’ve had everything to do and you’ve done it.” ― Margaret Thatcher
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 
“You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.” ― Margaret Thatcher
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 
“If you just set out to be liked, you will be prepared to compromise on anything at anytime, and would achieve nothing. ” ― Margaret Thatcher
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 
[Another one of my favorites:] “Europe was created by history. America was created by philosophy.” ― Margaret Thatcher [Too bad the current leaders of America today don’t subscribe to that philosophy]
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 
“I think we’ve been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it’s the government’s job to cope with it. ‘I have a problem, I’ll get a grant.’ ‘I’m homeless, the government must house me.’ They’re casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It’s our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations. There’s no such thing as entitlement, unless someone has first met an obligation
Socialism” ― Margaret Thatcher
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 
[It’s all about feelings and good intentions with the left but listen to Maggie:] “No-one would remember the Good Samaritan if he’d only had good intentions; he had money as well.” ― Margaret Thatcher
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 
“Do you know, one of the greatest problems of our age is that we are governed by people who care more about feelings than they do about thoughts and ideas? Now, thoughts and ideas, that interests me.” ― Margaret Thatcher
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 
“Watch your thoughts for they become words.Watch your words for they become actions.Watch your actions for they become habits.Watch your habits for they become your character.And watch your character for it becomes your destiny.What we think, we become.My father always said that… and I think I am fine.” ― Margaret Thatcher

Here are the two pictured again, this time with Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, another champion for Conservatism. I was living in Canada during most of the nineteen eighties. Mulroney was our Prime Minister then. These three were world leaders at about the same time, Thatcher 1979-1990, Reagan 1981-1989 and Mulroney 1984-1993 
No wonder I loved the eighties so much :D Its because of these three. 
Well… that, and the fact that I preferred my computer disks floppy and my long hair stiff  :D.
