I'd have to disagree with you about Thatcher. It's only in hind sight and knowing what I know now do I realize she fought off what is going on now and protected this country from it. And thats coming from a man that once spook out loud that Thatcher destroyed this country. I now realize she was trying to put it right.
A lot of what she did sounded terrible. But the diffrence between a strong leader and some one trying to appear to be a strong leader is this.
A strong leader makes decisions that appear bad and tirns out to be right.
Some one trying to appear to be a strong leader makes decisions that obtain your confidence and trust then turns out to be wrong.
Thatchers special relationship with Regan was basically saying to the rest of the world 'don't even think about it'. Tony Blair on the other hand was trying to show the country he could be just as strong as thatcher.
Regan was a conservative he believed government was the problem not the solution. Again to my own mis education I saw him as a fascist.
Bush is a neo-con. Ron paul was saying in an interview that the neo-cons we're originaly from the hard left of the democrats and from what i can tell he is correct.
Fascisms home is the hard left wing of the political spectrum not the right wing. The left wing always acused it of being a right wing agenda. So wile we've been blindly keeping our guard up from the right we've not noticed the wolf in sheep's clothing coming in and making it's self comfortable from the left.
