Nor did the “progressive” world media advance and reverberate her message; that free service is reserved for the political left only. For Thatcher, it was quite the opposite.</p> <p>And yet she exerted great influence over people. She did it merely by being who she was: informed, unwavering in the face of adversity, brave in defending the truth, and confident in her belief that the free markets are a force for good, while socialism is a force for evil. A few Western leaders may have agreed with her in private, but they didn’t have the courage to say it openly in the twisted moral climate brought on their countries by the false promise of socialism. What Thatcher showed to these men is that when one has no fear of speaking the truth and possesses enough moral conviction to push back, miracles happen. Britain’s resurrection as an economic powerhouse was one of them.</p> <p>Her message came through despite all the hostile efforts to jam it around the world, shattering not just the Western establishment’s media filters, but the Iron Curtain itself. It still resonates; if only today’s leaders could listen.</p> <p><a href="http://thepeoplescube.com/peoples-blog/how-thatcher-changed-this-soviet-man-s-heart-and-mind-t10970.html" target="_blank">How Thatcher changed this Soviet man’s heart and mind</a></p>http://theblondereformer.tumblr.com/post/47901302729http://theblondereformer.tumblr.com/post/47901302729Sat, 13 Apr 2013 17:43:48 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/277b211fe2d1059a2e72672e80990987/tumblr_ml7qw2rQeM1qht7dao1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>ABORTION IS THE NUMBER-ONE KILLER OF AFRICAN AMERICANS According to the CDC, abortion takes more lives yearly than all other causes of death.
