RUSH: Following the announcement of the death of Margaret Thatcher, tens of thousands of purely depraved people took to the streets in various enclaves and cities of the United Kingdom to celebrate her death.<\/p>\n

UK Daily Mail: “Dancing On Maggie\u2019s Grave: How The Left ‘Celebrated\u2019 Baroness Thatcher\u2019s Death With Smashed Shops And Anarchy In The Streets. Two women arrested for burglary after being found inside a shop. Barnardos shop front smashed in Brixton, south London. One policeman seriously injured after being pelted with bottles in Bristol.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Hundreds took to the streets as macabre \u00c2\u2018Thatcher death parties\u00c2\u2019 were held late across the country last night, organised by critics of the ‘Iron Lady.\u2019 In Bristol, seven police officers were injured – one seriously – as violence erupted at a street party of 200 people and officers were pelted with bottles, cans and rubbish.” They had to send out the riot cops.<\/p>\n

Now, folks, Margaret Thatcher saved that country. Margaret Thatcher, I\u2019m gonna give you a little historical perspective. Margaret Thatcher took over the leadership of Great Britain at a time when that country was in almost an identical situation as we are in this country today. Liberalism seemed to be empowered forever. There wasn\u2019t any opposition leadership to speak of. There were no efforts to curtail the Labor Party and its march. The economy of Great Britain stunk. The unemployment rate was sky-high. Tax rates were sky-high. It was an absolute disaster. She took over that country and she reversed it and she turned it into an actual competing top-five worldwide power, economically.<\/p>\n

Now, in the process, one of the things that she did was to bust a bunch of unions. And that provides, I think, the ammo, if you will, for these… what kind of meaningless life must you have — I mean, Margaret Thatcher hasn\u2019t been in office over 20 years. Margaret Thatcher hasn\u2019t been a factor in anything in 20 years. If Margaret Thatcher ruined these worthless, endless parade of human debris\u2019 lives, then why haven\u2019t they improved in the last 20 years? Why haven\u2019t these people\u2019s lives gotten better in the last 20 years since she\u2019s gone? You would think that if she\u2019s the reason their lives are so miserable (she hasn\u2019t been in power for 20 years) sometime in this 20 years their lives would have improved.<\/p>\n

But no. They continue to be miserable, unhappy, mired in disappointment and squalor and whatever else dominates their daily existence. So she dies, and they take to the streets to celebrate this with all kinds of parties. Must have a lot of free time. Must not have very many responsibilities. They must not matter much, in Great Britain, if all these people can go on this kind of a so-called celebration, blaming her, blaming her for whatever misery their pathetic lives have become. I mean, you would think if you look at the videotape and read the account of these “death celebrations,” why, you would think some dictator had just been dispatched. You would think that somebody who came in and seized power and put people in prison had just died.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s just the opposite. A great liberator. A woman who literally saved Great Britain from the abyss. She turned that country around and made it a world power once again. They celebrate her passing? And if it hadn\u2019t been for Meryl Streep they\u2019d hate her even more. Meryl Streep bought her some good vibes, you see, people like Meryl Streep. Meryl Streep portrayed Lady Thatcher in a movie that was an abomination, but still, it was a good portrayal, and so people said, “Ah, she couldn\u2019t have been too bad. Meryl Streep didn\u2019t mind being her for two hours on screen, so she couldn\u2019t have been that bad.”<\/p>\n

(interruption)<\/p>\n

You laugh? That\u2019s how they look at it. Well, Thatcher couldn\u2019t have been that bad if Meryl Streep agreed to be her for two hours, but nevertheless. We\u2019re looking at people celebrating her death, their lives utterly meaningless, in ruins. They\u2019re blaming her. She hasn\u2019t been around in 20 years. So long after she\u2019s gone, these people… can you fathom the kind of hate people like that must be harboring? Can you understand that? Can you imagine the hate that these people have to be holding onto, that has to be festering, effervescing, coursing through their veins and arteries and limited brain cells? Her death gives these people a reason to celebrate. My gosh. How ultra-miserable. Who\u2019s been running that country for the last 20 years? Why in the world is there such misery? Hasn\u2019t the Labor Party been running this country for the most part, for the last ten, anyway?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

They accused her of creating “grand, international larceny for the rich.” The greatest case of international larceny in history, far harsher than even Ronaldus Magnus\u2019 economic policies. They say that Thatcher destroyed whole industries in places like Wales and Scotland, just to be rid of the unions supported by those industries. She destroyed whole industries in places like Wales and Scotland. Got rid of the unions. All she did was save the British economy. But this, folks, is an illustration right there for everybody to see.<\/p>\n

This is what happens with a brainwashed young population, which we\u2019re dealing with in this country. The same kind of brainwashing, same kind of poisoning of the mind has taken place. Everything seems 180 degrees out of place. But I just want to reiterate: She took over Great Britain at a time when that country was in a similar circumstance to what the United States is in today, and members of her own party didn\u2019t think she had a chance at winning. She told them when she was running — and she was dead serious.<\/p>\n

They asked, “What are you gonna do when you lose?” “I\u2019m not gonna lose,” she said. “I\u2019m gonna win.” “What are you gonna do when you win?” As though it was irrelevant. She spelled out what she was gonna do, and then she went and did it. The point is she had people in her own party not thinking it was possible, people in her own party thinking it was a pipe dream, people in her own party thinking that it could not have been done, and there was no reason to try.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re the same kind of people then as exist now. Do not do anything to make the media mad. You know, don\u2019t do anything on Monday that\u2019s gonna make the media hate you on Tuesday. Don\u2019t do anything on Tuesday that\u2019s gonna make the media hate you on Wednesday. The same kind of people that she was dealing with in the Conservative Party in the UK exist in places here. She didn\u2019t care, and she revived that country.<\/p>\n
