The above video captures the spirit of the Iron Lady in her strength and arrogance.
She voted to decriminalize sodomy but passed a law to prohibit the teaching about homosexuality in UK public schools. On this and many other subjects, she had a complicated record, the results of which are open to debate. But make no mistake, this woman changed the course of her country.
Maybe Andrew Sullivan put it best:
She made some serious mistakes – the poll tax, opposition to German unification, insisting that Nelson Mandela was a terrorist – but few doubt she altered her country permanently, re-establishing the core basics of a free society and a free economy that Britain had intellectually bequeathed to the world and yet somehow lost in its own class-ridden, envy-choked socialist detour to immiseration.
