Margaret Thatcher 1925-2013

Breaking news this morning, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher passed away. Thatcher was the longest serving British prime minster of the 20th century and the first female to hold the position.

Known as the Iron Lady, she broke the long string of Socialist rule in the country and clearly articulated the principles of free individuals and free society.

Here’s a wonderful video that exemplifies that philosophy. It is from her speech at the 1975 Conservative Party Conference, where discounts socialism and forcefully defends the role of government as the servant of the individual, not the master.
