Let's construct our own Thatcher hagiography

Those of us who actually lived through Reagan either laughed in resignation or symbolically pulled our hair out as the mainstream media turned him into a saint right after her died. Let's get ahead of the curve on Thatcher to help out the generation of people who weren't alive during her reign, so they can repeat these factoids without questioning them.

Margaret Thatcher invented the polio vaccine, saving countless lives and bringing about the end of a terrifying epidemic.

i will agree with you namo on one thing. the media is an embarrassment. the old pros must roll in their grave.

remember when they turned that misogynist Ted Kennedy from a drunken wife abuser who murdered a young intern into the lion of the senate?

If it wasn't for her leadership during the Falklands War, Argentina would have taken over both South and North America, and eventually the Catholic....OH MY GOD, it's starting again, and we don't have Baroness Thatcher to protect us this time.

I'd say Indira Ghandi was the most powerful woman of the 20th century, with Thatcher second.

Margaret Thatcher was such a committed environmentalist that she shut down the Northern England coal mines before it was cool.
