[100%FEDUP]

Maggie and Dutch were the last STATESMEN of our or any future time. I don't think Maggie would mind being labeled a STATESMEN either. While Ronnie was ruffling feathers on criminal hill, Maggie was socking it to them on Downing Street. I was in prep school at that time and my history professors would start every class with a recap of what was going on in Washington, DC and in England. The 80's were such an exciting time to learn about Gov't. It's too bad such losers took over both nation's havens of civics.

Jack Kemp was on FNC and was talking about how Reagan, Thatcher and Pope John Paul II all came into power from 1979-1981 and proved to change the world, how true. Three idealists who captured the majority's hope and sensibilities, only to be constantly attacked by an illogical leftist agenda.

The reason I say they were the LAST is because nowadays all puppeticians seem interested in is appeasing their contributors, the polls and the damned special interest groups. I doubt we will ever see a civil servant who is willing to follow the ideals that got them elected in the first place!

Let's raise a cold one for Dutch! He did what was right, not what the polls or the media thought was right. Rest in peace my friend, you have truly earned it!

Jack Kemp was on FNC and was talking about how Reagan, Thatcher and Pope John Paul II all came into power from 1979-1981 and proved to change the world, how true.

And yet all three have suffered in their old age. Reagan with Alzheimer's, Thatcher with strokes, and the Pope with Parkinson's. Makes me wonder if Satan's trying to get his revenge on these giants.
