Margaret Thatcher

DON’T UNDERESTIMATE WHAT MARGARET THATCHER DID FOR HER COUNTRY

Another loss we cannot ignore is the death of one of our personal heroes, former UK Prime Minsiter Margaret Thatcher. She paved the way for women in politics and if there is a female president in our lifetime, it will be thanks to her. How can you NOT love a woman who stood for less government and lower taxes? She disciplined the unions and encouraged free enterprise above big government. Thatcher rescued Britain from ruin and led the country into a renaissance. We eagerly anticipate the first female president in THIS country. (Above, Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan.)

Margaret Thatcher Meryl Streep The Iron Lady

AMERICAN MERYL STREEP IS STARRING AS BRITISH PRIME MINISTER MARGARET THATCHER

It’s about time. British actors are often cast to play iconic American figures, but Americans are seldom cast to play important Brits. Meryl Streep (above left) has changed all that. With all the amazing English actresses out there, our own Meryl Streep landed the heroic role of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. The movie is called “The Iron Lady” and it is described as “The story of a woman who smashed through barriers of gender and class to be heard in a male dominated world.” Judging by the photo, Meryl’s off to a good start.
