Margaret Thatcher

By Jeff Simpson

Margaret Hilda Thatcher, Baroness Thatcher, LG, OM, PC, FRS (née Roberts, 13 October 1925 – 8 April 2013) was a British Conservative Party politician who was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990 and the Leader of the Conservative Party from 1975 to 1990. She was the longest-serving British Prime Minister of the 20th century and is the only woman to have held the office. A Soviet journalist called her the "Iron Lady", a nickname that became associated with her uncompromising politics and leadership style. As Prime Minister, she implemented policies that have come to be known as Thatcherism.

Baroness Thatcher passed away yesterday and boy were the righties sad....from the ridiculous to the  incredibly misinformed!  Unfortunately for the world, and the British, the woman that the righties memorialized, never existed(like so many of their heroes)!
