When Margaret Thatcher
took office in Great Britain the unemployment level was over 13%. When she left
office the unemployment level was 5.5%. During the eleven (11) years she was
Prime Minister of Great Britain she turned back the tide for the country
sliding from socialism to communism, helped defeat communism in the former
Soviet Union by being the first democracy world leader to forge an alliance
with Mikhail Gorbachev, saying, "I believe we can work with him", and
maintaining her principled stand for Conservatism throughout her tenure.
Now I hear on the news
that liberals in England are cheering her death and saying she was a failure as
Prime Minister. Just exactly what do liberals who reside in a democracy want
from their leaders? By most standards she was a very successful Prime Minister
who abated the fall of the economy while she was in office. She saved jobs for
people who had them and created more for people who didn't. Why can't people
with a liberal political persuasion judge a leader by their accomplishments
rather than ideology?
