THERE WAS A TRUE LOSS TODAY FOR THOSE OF US WHO BELIEVE IN EARNING AND KEEPING WHAT WE EARN. FOR MANY THERE IS THE RECOGNITION THAT THE DEBILITATING WELFARE STATE IS DESTROYING THE UNIQUENESS OF INDIVIDUALISM, ALONG WITH THE DWINDLING OF OUR FREEDOMS THROUGH OUT THE WORLD, PARTICULARLY HERE IN THE UNITED STATES.
THIS IS HAPPENING DUE TO “PROGRESSIVES”, CODE WORD FOR THOSE WHO CONSIDER SOCIALISM, THEIR DESERT. A TERM THAT ONE OF CALIFORNIA’S ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES (INITIALS “MW”) ACTUALLY LET SLIP ON NATIONAL RADIO NOT TOO LONG AGO, ADMITTING THAT THE PROGRESSIVES OF HER PARTY WERE ACTUALLY, “SOCIALISTS”.
SOCIALISM DOESN’T BELIEVE THAT IMAGINATION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EDUCATION; THEY DON’T BELIEVE IN FREE TRADE, THEY INTENTIONALLY BELIEVE IN TAKING AWAY THE INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF THE VERY PEOPLE THAT ELECT THEM. RATHER THESE ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES UPLOAD THE POWER OF GOVERNMENT BY HANDLING AND CONTROLLING OUR PURSE STRINGS.
LIKE GOLDA MIER, MARGARET THATCHER CAME FROM WHAT I WOULD CALL TODAY IN AMERICA AN UPPER MIDDLE CLASS BACKGROUND. HER FATHER WAS A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER RESPONSIBLE FOR EARNING A LIVING FOR THE SURVIVAL OF HIS FAMILY AS WELL AS ADEQUEDLY SUPPORTING A SYSTEM THAT WOULD HELP TO BRING PROSPERITY BACK TO A WORN AND TORN COUNTRY THAT WAS CONSIDERED HOME.
IT WAS A SAD MOMENT FOR ME WHEN I LEARNED OF THE PASSING OF THE GREAT AND ENDURING “IRON LADY”, MARGARET THATCHER, A STRONG WOMAN WHO HAD THE COURAGE AND GUTS TO SPEAK HER MIND AND TO `ACT ON WHAT SHE BELIEVED IN, CHOOSING TO IGNORE ALL CONSEQUENCES; AND AS WE KNOW THERE ARE ALWAYS CONSEQUENCES.
OF COURSE MERYL STREEP WAS THE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT ACTRESS TO PORTRAY THE INCREDIBLE WOMAN WHO CARED MORE ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT WERE WILLING TO WORK HARD FOR WHAT THEY EARNED, RATHER THAN THOSE WHO PREFERRED BEING LULLED IN TO THE STATE OF SHEEPLEHOOD.
AGAIN, THE CULPRITS OF SEDUCING THE VOTER WITH UNREALISTIC PROMISES OF A NON RESPONSIBLE LIFE SUPPORTED BY GOVERNMENT (NO MATTER WHERE) IS NOT WHAT PRIME MINISTER THATCHER BELIEVED. IN FACT SHE STEERED GREAT BRITAIN, AT A TIME WHEN IT WAS NOT GREAT, ON A REVERSE COURSE THAT LED TO THAT COUNTRY, LIKE THE PHOENIX, TO TAKE FLIGHT AGAIN, FROM THE ASHES.
WHAT DID SHE DO? PRIVATIZED PUBLIC COMPANIES, DISBANDED THE POWERFUL UNIONS AND THEIR CORRUPT LEADERS WHICH HAD THE POWER TO DETERMINE WHO WOULD BE ELECTED WITHOUT CONSIDERATION TO THE UNION MEMBERS WHO THEY SUPPOSEDLY REPRESENTED, ALLOWED FOR HOME OWNERSHIP OF TENANTS IN PUBLIC HOUSING PROJECTS…AND MORE, SO MUCH MORE. SHE WAS TRULY A FISH OUT OF WATER, SURROUNDED BY HUNGRY, MOSTLY MALE SHARKS WHO PREFERRED THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE TO THATCHER’S TAKE CHARGE, DAMN THE TORPEDOS ATTITUDE.
MARGARET THATCHER, WAS WRONGLY CRITIZED, I BELIEVE, MORE BECAUSE OF HER GENDER, RATHER THAN FOR THE PRACTICAL AND SURVIVAL BELIEFS THAT SHE DESIRED TO IMPLEMENT FOR THE PURPOSE OF RETURNING HER COUNTRY TO ITS FORMER GREATNESS.
SHE WAS A FEARLESS LEADER WITH PRISTINE INSTINCTS, INSTINTCS USUALLY BELONGING TO A TRULY GREAT ACTRESS, THAT SUSTAINED A VISION THROUGHOUT THE SERVICE, TO NOT ONLY HER COUNTRY, BUT TO THE WORLD.
IN MY OPINION, ALL THE WORLD SHOULD BE MOURNING MARGARET THATCHER’S PASSING BECAUSE SHE HAD A GREATNESS THAT SUPPORTED THE NOTION THAT HER COUNTRY, AND THE WORLD, COULD BE FAR BETTER THAN ITS CURRENT STATE, AND ALL ONE HAD TO DO WAS MAINTAIN THE COURSE, AND AT THE INEVITABLE TIME PASS THE MANTLE ON TO THE NEXT GREAT FEARLESS LEADER WHO WOULD WELCOME THE LOFTY CHALLENGE WITHOUT CONSIDERATION OF CONSEQUENCE, BUT RATHER, BECAUSE OF THE INALIENABLE RIGHT FOR ALL SOULS TO BE FREE, NO MATTER WHERE IN THE WORLD.
