This yes....
and not only that but we can add
Heart Disease...
Car Accidents...
Heck "accidental" murders by police.
etc etc etc...
You know it seems every 2 years or so we have a disease scare in the media.
H1N1 - Bird Flu
Mad Cow Disease - Bovine Virus
Sars
Swine Flu
Anthrax
AIDS
All Horrific diseases but thankfully not zombie apocalypse level trouble.

The media won't let a crisis go to waste. If things slow down, stir the pot and turn up the heat.

A little reminder, FJ ... according to you, 'BO sucks'.
Except when he doesn't, of course ...

No matter, FJ. I'll just wait for you to reveal your pro-Obama sympathies again, be it from direct proof of a position you hold, or, an indirect proof where you counter someone else's anti-Obama argument, from whatever excuse you can think of to do so.
I suspect I'll not have very long to wait.

ebola isn't easily eliminated though...
It comes from infected bush meat, monkey's and bats, unfortunately it is easily transmitted when let loose in a large city. Which is exactly what has happened in Liberia.
Up until now the outbreaks have happened in small isolated villages and the transfers have been minor. Ebola is spread by body fluids and can live on hard surfaces, in an industrial city this is a major problem

I'm hard-ass conservative. I'm NOT hard-ass GOP. The GOP is stupid and only stupid people echo their BS. The Dems of the 70's and 80's were more conservative than the GOP is now.

^Righties need to be better and not stoop to their level. One good thing about RW "loons" is at least they generally aren't demanding that government do something for them at the expense of others.

We are both actually more conservative than the echo chamber, blind haters. I'm wondering when they get to the part where hating a political party and/or a religion is not a political belief.
But I shouldn't wonder. That's when they accuse. They have no defense for their stupid-ass sh*t so they attack like snakes in the blind.
Like I said. They're stupid. :)

It's fascinating to see both your reaction, and - more curious still - the support you're getting.
FJ ... you don't 'call me out', as you put it .. not as such. Not true.
As for what you REALLY do ... as I've seen in thread after thread ... is to debate a little, then, when you think you're in danger of being bested, you resort to troll-like trickery.
Rewrites of peoples' posts ... done to disparage, mock, belittle, whatever it takes, to - in your own mind, anyway - supposedly 'win out' against the opposition you're attacking.
Perhaps the most 'interesting' feature of all this is that you reserve all this behaviour - you, the 'Conservative' - for other Conservatives on DP, such as myself. Can you name me even ONE Left-winger here you've done all this to ??
You can't .. of course not, as we both know. And yet you, yourself, profess to be a Conservative ?
What's wrong with this picture ? ... Anyone ... ?
You are the self-professed 'Thatcherite', who's had to be told fundamental facts about her !! Such as, her 'Thatcher Foundation' legacy ... I repeatedly tested you on knowledge of that before finally revealing its very EXISTENCE to you.
But here's what I'm curious about right now. If I'm 'wrong' about your being pro-Obama, as you'd like to claim ... then, of course, there will be no question of your offering him support in the future. Yes ?
So why is that an issue for you ... and why do you have contributors rushing to your defence ? If I'm talking nonsense, then I'll be proven wrong. So .... what is there to defend ??

There are Conservatives who aren't Right wing ? Apparently so.

The common influenza virus is more contagious and infects/kills more people than Ebola.
Trouble is, the flu is old hat to the media and doesn't cause the amount of panic that Ebola does. If you need viewers 24/7, you need panic.
The trouble with the current GOP is that no one can figure out who is conservative. Are you a progressive conservative, a moderate conservative or a hardline conservative?
This is why the 2016 battle for the GOP nomination is going to be a bloodbath. The fight between moderate conservatives and those who side with the Tea Party is going to be much more vicious than the GOP vs. Dems battle for the White house.

You prattle a lot but you have no substance... but I repeat myself. You're not really even intelligent enough to know that there aren't really any left-wingers here outside of noir and gabby but I challenge them when necessary. As anyone will tell you gabby doesn't really bother to respond to any challenges and noir rarely posts but he does defend his positions well without resorting to imaginative delusions. If any other left-wingers do happen to accidentally come here you and your knuckleheads do your level best to shout them down before any rational discussion can be had.
Of course you misidentify yourself as a conservative which is why you get challenged repeatedly; no real conservative I know has as many big government positions as you. I also question the knucklehead ranticals who are unable to engage in a reasoned discussion and can only exist within their echo chamber.
And regarding your Thatcher Foundation meme, you merely asked where I learned of Mags and her record and of course one can learn of her just about anywhere. Are you so daft as to think that the TF is the only repository of all things Mags?
And FWIW, I do try and keep all debates reasoned and personable but at times it's just not possible due to the ignorance and obstinate attitudes that I encounter. :)

UVC or a 5.25 solution of household bleach

Also, it spreads through direct contact with infected fluids, so basic hygiene and sanitation would go far.

Thanks for that, FJ ... a practical example of your trolling methodology .. exactly the sort of thing I was talking about.
But I still have my question: can you name even ONE Left winger you've dished out the same treatment to .. ?
You prattle a lot but you have no substance... but I repeat myself.
Yes, you do. Don't you ? You appear not to be able to help yourself despite what that says of you.
You're not really even intelligent enough to know that there aren't really any left-wingers here outside of noir and gabby but I challenge them when necessary.
Congratulations. But -- NOT as abusively as you challenge CONSERVATIVES here. By your OWN admission, if there aren't Left wingers (.. YOU say ..) here other than Noir and Gabby, that means that you attack CONSERVATIVES here.
So how come you, Mr 'Conservative', haven't found them to be natural allies ? H'm ?
If any other left-wingers do happen to accidentally come here you and your knuckleheads do your level best to shout them down before any rational discussion can be had.
- How ? Do we .... abusively rewrite their posts for them, for example ? Or is it just that YOU, alone here, reserve that for ... CONSERVATIVES ?
Remind me, again, of your CONSERVATIVE credentials ......
Of course you misidentify yourself as a conservative which is why you get challenged repeatedly; no real conservative I know has as many big government positions as you.
This 'big Government' nonsense of yours is your own invention. I challenge you to identify what 'they' are ....
I also question the knucklehead ranticals who are unable to engage in a reasoned discussion and can only exist within their echo chamber.
... say the individual who resorts to abuse at the drop of a hat !!
We even agreed, once, to ensure that no such abuse crept into a discussion. As I recall, by the third exchange, you 'broke', and the abuse started once more.
Produce ONE - just ONE - post of mine where I rewrote anything of yours ! You can't do it. Why ? Because YOU are the troll here, not me !!
And regarding your Thatcher Foundation meme, you merely asked where I learned of Mags and her record and of course one can learn of her just about anywhere. Are you so daft as to think that the TF is the only repository of all things Mags?
It's the chief one !!! It was designed to be her legacy. Any 'enthusiast' of 'Mags', as you call her, would know that. YOU did NOT.
How come, if Lady Thatcher is so easily researched, you proved that you HADN'T done that research .. ?
And FWIW, I do try and keep all debates reasoned and personable but at times it's just not possible due to the ignorance and obstinate attitudes that I encounter. :)
Your many abusive dialogues with me prove otherwise. And as we'll all know, I am far from the only person you've crossed swords with.

:rolleyes: I've "crossed swords" with morons with active imaginations who are lacking in the capacity of engaging in a reasonable discussion and have the annoying habit of misidentifying lefties. Some of them claim to be conservative. ;)
And all of your questions have been answered in other threads which you've managed to run away from when the going gets tough.

^Some people must thing Nigeria is better than the US. :dunno:
Yess which country is "better"?
That's the take away from the story:laugh:.
Better at dealing with Ebola in a rational, medically responsible, non-political, non-media fear mongered way.
yep looks like it.

UVC or a 5.25 solution of household bleach
http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php
Also, it spreads through direct contact with infected fluids, so basic hygiene and sanitation would go far.
".....
SUSCEPTIBILITY TO DISINFECTANTS: Ebolavirus is susceptible to 3% acetic acid, 1% glutaraldehyde, alcohol-based products, and dilutions (1:10-1:100 for ≥10 minutes) of 5.25% household bleach (sodium hypochlorite), and calcium hypochlorite (bleach powder) Footnote 48 (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php#footnote48) Footnote 49 (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php#footnote49) Footnote 50 (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php#footnote50) Footnote 62 (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php#footnote62) Footnote 63 (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php#footnote63). The WHO recommendations for cleaning up spills of blood or body fluids suggest flooding the area with a 1:10 dilutions of 5.25% household bleach for 10 minutes for surfaces that can tolerate stronger bleach solutions (e.g., cement, metal) Footnote 62 (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php#footnote62). For surfaces that may corrode or discolour, they recommend careful cleaning to remove visible stains followed by contact with a 1:100 dilution of 5.25% household bleach for more than 10 minutes.
PHYSICAL INACTIVATION: Ebola are moderately thermolabile and can be inactivated by heating for 30 minutes to 60 minutes at 60°C, boiling for 5 minutes, or gamma irradiation (1.2 x106 rads to 1.27 x106 rads) combined with 1% glutaraldehyde Footnote 10 (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php#footnote10) Footnote 48 (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php#footnote48) Footnote 50 (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php#footnote50). Ebolavirus has also been determined to be moderately sensitive to UVC radiation Footnote 51 (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php#footnote51).
SURVIVAL OUTSIDE HOST: Filoviruses have been reported capable to survive for weeks in blood and can also survive on contaminated surfaces, particularly at low temperatures (4°C) Footnote 52 (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php#footnote52) Footnote 61 (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php#footnote61). One study could not recover any Ebolavirus from experimentally contaminated surfaces (plastic, metal or glass) at room temperature Footnote 61 (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php#footnote61). In another study, Ebolavirus dried onto glass, polymeric silicone rubber, or painted aluminum alloy is able to survive in the dark for several hours under ambient conditions (between 20°C and 25°C and 30–40% relative humidity) (amount of virus reduced to 37% after 15.4 hours), but is less stable than some other viral hemorrhagic fevers (Lassa) Footnote 53 (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php#footnote53). When dried in tissue culture media onto glass and stored at 4 °C, Zaire ebolavirus survived for over 50 days Footnote 61 (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php#footnote61). This information is based on experimental findings only and not based on observations in nature. This information is intended to be used to support local risk assessments in a laboratory setting.
A study on transmission of ebolavirus from fomites in an isolation ward concludes that the risk of transmission is low when recommended infection control guidelines for viral hemorrhagic fevers are followed Footnote 64 (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php#footnote64). Infection control protocols included decontamination of floors with 0.5% bleach daily and decontamination of visibly contaminated surfaces with 0.05% bleach as necessary....."

"....Nigeria becomes the second country in West Africa to be declared Ebola free in the past week. On Friday, the UN health agency declared Senegal (http://www.aljazeera.com/news/africa/2014/10/senegal-ebola-who-20141017134110541778.html) free of Ebola after it passed the 42 day landmark...."

^Righties need to be better and not stoop to their level. One good thing about RW "loons" is at least they generally aren't demanding that government do something for them at the expense of others.
The government can come clean up the mess I make.

54 minutes ago ... Ebola cases keep spiraling out of control in the three West African countries, ... WHO: Nigeria is free of Ebola after 19 cases and seven deaths.
Also SENAGAL
It is to be hoped, for their sake, that Nigeria can continue to be Ebola free.
Come to that, I'd hope for that for our sake, too. One less source of the disease might just improve the chances of its spread being limited (although I expect that's unlikely, considering the current extent of its spread ..).
Nearer to home - for me, anyway - we have, as a main news item, the interview Jose Manuel Barroso gave on yesterday's Andrew Marr Show (BBC-1 political and current affairs interviewing programme). It's significant, because David Cameron has been trying to get the concession from the EU for Britain to gain autonomy over its own borders .. so that we can control immigration from other EU Member States.
But Barroso (outgoing EU President) was adamant that the free movement of people, without ANY border restrictions between member States, was an inviolable core EU principle. Non-negotiable, under any circumstances.
So, here we are, with a looming likelihood of Ebola reaching Europe .. infecting any number of these 'Member States'. And there's Barroso, entrenched in his political correctness, to the point where he can't see beyond it to the REAL world. Obviously, it'd help substantially if countries could close their borders as they needed to. But, NO ... EU Leftieness won't give this consideration the time of day. If Ebola overruns every country, decimating its populations, well, at least it'll do it in a 'politically correct' way !!!
And the rest of the world will have to be on its guard from a couple of DOZEN extra countries ... possibly needlessly.
Leftieism. It'll be, quite literally, the death of us !!

You know something? I've been pondering this one a bit and I feel I owe you a better answer. Sure I could rattle off some names, and have in the past, of some leftie :scared: posters that I've debated with in the past but I can't distinctly remember that they have been so mind numbingly stupid as you and some of your knucklehead friends. I mean, of course they've not made the best life choices in the past which have no doubt led to their liberal beliefs but they tend to no longer argue their points when they see that they can't get anywhere with the truth and fact that I present to them. They are free to present their views and I'll do my best to present an argument as to why they are wrong but they generally will no longer follow up when they are unable to present some facts or argument that will win the day against a truly conservative position.
You, on the other hand, when unable to present facts or arguments that can win the day against a truly conservative position will double down with imaginative musings, whining like a leftie, and stooping to only arguing against the individual and not the position. Case in point the many times you've charged "leftie," been requested to prove your charge, and have been unable to do so. Now if you had the capacity to argue intelligently then there wouldn't be any reason to subject you to "abuse" but when you constantly go to the well of prattling on about imagined lefties then I feel I must inform you of what I think of your mental abilities. I consider it tough love. FWIW I typically argue the point straight up until your imagination gets the best of you, then it's gloves off of course. :)
I think I know the real problem though. It's that I've presented a side of Lady Thatcher that you can't square with your beliefs and it drives you to complete and utter madness, for that I am sorry. Now, in the spirit of letting bygones be bygones I will remove my references to the former Prime Minister from my title and signature once you announce that because of no evidence to your charge; that I am, in fact, not a leftie. I would do that for you. Agreed?

Interesting so far as it goes, but we only have your word for all of this. My attempt to get you to answer a simple question continues to be avoided .. now, with this diversionary account of 'happenings' which I take to be totally unconnected with this forum.
Actually - I think that you're describing my past debates with you, to an extent, anyway. You'll debate reasonably when you think you've a chance of winning. Since you're invariably proved wrong on that, so you instead go to abuse, diversion, ANYTHING other than admit you're wrong. Which, of course, is bog-standard Leftie fayre.
These days, you launch into troll stuff almost immediately -- because you're used to understanding that you're unlikely to 'win' otherwise against me (you delude yourself into thinking it serves your interests to try it, since you're trapped by your Leftie psychology into thinking that surface impressions can substitute for fact and reputability).

You argue like a Leftie. The troll stuff itself is clear evidence of that, so you 'prove my charge' on a very regular basis, just from that alone. I see nothing wrong with pointing it out .. much though you'd like me not to.

Nope. You do it out of a mixture of the Leftie idea of 'fun' against an opponent, and sheer desperation, since you cannot win out otherwise. Its troll behaviour, which your psychology tells you is 'fine' to indulge in at the drop of a hat.

Cease to argue as a Leftie. Cease to behave as one, courtesy, not least, of all the troll rot you dish out by the ton. In other words .. if you want to be considered a Conservative, START TO PROVE YOU'RE ONE.
As for this 'side of Lady Thatcher I can't square with my beliefs' .... I don't know what you're talking about.

You're missing the shot. Obama sucks. He's lied his ass off since day one. I'm all about accusing him of what's done. Rightwingnut idiots, no different than leftwingnut idiots, blame him for everything.
Ebola was around before Obama. Sorry.
And, if anyone chooses to come after me personally, and more importantly fuck with my GF because she doesn't fall into lockstep with the party, then you get to be my new best friend. She can hold her own until the biddy mob gangs up on her. I won't tolerate it. Period. And that IS personal.

On your last point .. I think you overstate the case. Note - I said 'OVERSTATE', not 'YOU ARE COMPLETELY WRONG'.
I accept that the GOP needs to do a lot of work to become viewable as fully and properly Conservative.
But here's the problem. For all its faults, the GOP is your only realistic chance of countering Obama and replacing him. The more that's done to compromise the GOP's chance of winning, the greater the chance of the Dems winning instead.
I can therefore conceive of an individual claiming Conservative bona fides, in order to convince others to stop voting GOP ... in order to help a LEFTIE cause, instead.
But back to your first point .... which I don't accept for a second. 'He' hasn't even had the wit to try out the strategy I've just described. No, not a bit of it. Yes, he says he's a Conservative -- but does so in a way that doesn't stack up. The 'Thatcherite' claim is a nonsense, for a number of reasons, not least his lack of full understanding of her politics, of her wish and unhesitating choice to take on draconian, State powers when necessary, to tackle social evils .. this which he'd reject as a 'Big Government' position, despite still SAYING he was 'Thatcherite', yet proving otherwise.
Why claim you're 'Thatcherite' when you're NOT, unless the intention was / is to oversell a con ?
I can point to other things. All the troll rubbish, quite a giveaway all on its own. That he attacks CONSERVATIVES rather than LEFTIES on this board, reserving his strongest attacks for the most staunch Conservative amongst them (... for me, because I see right through him ...).
That, on the supposed basis of 'rationality', he'll oppose criticisms of Obama he sees (I recall an impeachment debate where a defence of Obama was advanced).
Then, there's his defence of terrorists ... with a mindset about their 'human rights' indistinguishable from Jimmy Carter's !!!
And this, from a CONSERVATIVE ?? REALLY .. ????
So, no. True Conservatism is not in evidence. Just the unconvincing pretence of it, at absolute best.
I could go on - but I've no need to. The case is made.

OK I hear ya, and no , no one should gang up on anyone, but Gunny I see it going both ways , personally I enjoy reading all the post that all of ya make but it is turning into a pissing match, where I use to learn a lot from everyone's post , now I see nothing but fighting, and again man this isn't towards you personally , I see all involved and ask all to just post the way y'all use to, I guess I bring it to you because we trashed around and had so much fun with Bull Shit post that I was actually having fun here, don't get me wrong I also enjoy when there was a good debate ( I honestly learned a lot ) but anymore many have changed there political stance just for the sake of being able to fight, and that don't seem right.

Your supposed 'offer' didn't even particularly make sense. You wanted me to renege on my belief that you weren't a Leftie, and in return, you'd remove references to Lady Thatcher from your avatar and signature ??
How would circumstantial evidence hinting that you WERE more Leftie than you'd admitted to being, show consistency with any claim of mine that you WEREN'T one ??
If I declare you not to be a Leftie, then, will your response be to finally prove that you ARE one ??:rolleyes:
Besides: I'll do no deals in order to encourage you to find some honesty. If you truly were a Conservative, that wouldn't even be an issue - you'd just BE honest, and that would be an end of it.
Yet again, you've managed to shoot yourself in the foot .. :lol:

Also, it spreads through direct contact with infected fluids, so basic hygiene and sanitation would go far.
it's transmitted in the same way the flu virus is, infected fluids can live on hard surfaces.
The only reason it's less dangerous/contagious than the flu is because the original source of this virus is from infected bush animals. Add that to the fact that most people who eat those animals live in small villages and you have a virus that is usually easily controlled.
This isn't a little virus that can be cured with "better hygiene", it's cured because the international community comes together and quaranteens everyone who comes in contact with the original person. If this was done with flu victims the infection rate would plummet.
But don't mistake that it isn't every bit as easily spread as the flu.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/4409447.stm
On 19 October 1988 Tory Home Secretary Douglas Hurd announced that organisations in Northern Ireland believed to support terrorism would be banned from directly broadcasting on the airwaves.
The ban affected 11 loyalist and republican organisations but Sinn Fein, the political wing of the IRA, was the main target.
It meant that instead of hearing Gerry Adams, viewers and listeners would hear an actor's voice reading a transcript of the Sinn Fein leader's words.
Former BBC director general Lord Birt said the order came "right out of the blue".
Margaret Thatcher had no tolerance to show to the terrorist likes of the IRA. And she directed her Minister accordingly. She took something you'd think of as a 'Big Government' decision to ban their freedom to speak on British broadcasting stations.
Here's a fundamental fact you fail to grasp about Lady Thatcher .. for the sake of doing what she thought was right, she'd assume, and apply, whatever draconian powers it took to achieve her objectives. You say you hate 'Big Government' decisions, and powers ? Well ... in that case, there would've been times when you would've very sharply disagreed with what she was prepared to do.
D. You're a hack on the order of Hannity.

And IS your understanding of 'Mags', as you call her, JUST limited to her words ?? Do you know anything much about her actions ? Was my proof of the curbing of IRA freedom to directly speak in the British media unknown to you ?
Perhaps you're unaware that one of her greatest domestic successes came from her anti-Trade Union legislation ? The passing of laws restricting their freedoms to act ? The limitation placed on the permitted size of a picket line, for example ?
If you understand nothing else about the politician you CLAIM to support, know that she was as autocratic as she chose to be in fixing issues. She may have had Conservative instincts, but, she created and assumed whatever powers she had to, to get things done. And if they were 'Big Government' in nature ... she carried them through regardless.
Have you heard about the Poll Tax riots ?
I think you presume to know of Lady Thatcher, when in reality you have only a passing acquaintance with her nature of politics and leadership. Truth be told, she was a great pragmatist. Sure, she had strong principles. But practicality always predominated with her.

Against the Unions, she was very far from malleable. Ditto the IRA. I have already said as much. So, again, what are you talking about ?

FJ, aren't you working to prove, yet again, not only the fact that you're no Conservative yourself, but that you have a very limited understanding of Conservatism.
The Left is about idealism, about propagandising in order to make their vision seem real to others, to convince others to buy into their cloud-cuckooland control-freakery, ROT. If you want to seek out the opposite to that, and be successful about it, you choose the far more pragmatic Conservative approach !!
That's not to say that Margaret Thatcher wasn't a visionary .. of sorts, certainly. But putting her ideas into action required a keen sense of pragmatism from her.
But don't take just my word for it ... see this, from David Cameron, our current, CONSERVATIVE, Prime Minister, talking about Lady Thatcher ....
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1577211/Thatcher-rescued-Britains-greatness.html
But if Margaret Thatcher was a radical moderniser, she was also a pragmatist. She recognised that the Ted Heath approach to trade union reform - frontal assault followed by humiliating retreat - was no good.
Instead she played a long game, literally stockpiling coal so that the country could withstand a long miners' strike. She cut back union power piece by piece, ensuring the slow death of the hard left.
The same approach characterised all the great achievements we associate with Thatcherism. Privatisation was not the centre-piece of the 1979 manifesto: it evolved gradually from the first successful experiment with selling the government's shares in BP. Full-scale denationalisation followed as a response to the growing demand for market pluralism and public share ownership.
Today we know what Thatcherism meant for our country - victory in the Cold War, victory against unbridled trade union power, the sale of council houses, the liberation of the British economy. Yet all of this was achieved gradually, by a government that knew it had to take public opinion along with it if real and lasting change was to be made.
That change was made. Margaret Thatcher is a fitting recipient of the Morgan Stanley Great Britons award, when we judge greatness as it should be judged: the scale of the legacy. She made the landscape in which we live today.
But today's circumstances are different. We still have major economic challenges ahead, largely conditioned by a decade of debt, and the failure by Gordon Brown to keep the roof in repair while the sun shone.
But the most fundamental long-term challenge we face is not the broken economy inherited by Margaret Thatcher in 1979, but our broken society, the consequence of years of failed state planning and the denial of social responsibility. Britain has falling school standards, the worst rate of family breakdown in Europe and an endemic crime problem in our inner cities.
I draw inspiration from Margaret Thatcher's record as a great moderniser and a great pragmatist.
I suppose you're now going to tell me that David Cameron, a Conservative Prime Minister and a leader of the very same Party that Lady Thatcher herself led, cannot know what he's talking about, but that YOU DO ??:rolleyes:

Thank you .... this is just further proof that you're not a Conservative. You don't comprehend what one is !!
Conservatism is a distinct philosophy. What you're not getting, because you're NOT one ... is that pragmatism is a cornerstone of what Conservatism is all about. Conservatives live in the real word ... they relate to it in its own terms. Pragmatism is therefore necessary.
Margaret Thatcher, as I take it even YOU cannot dream of denying, was a Conservative. She functioned as one as Prime Minister, using pragmatism to strengthen that function. In the account I posted yesterday, one originating from David Cameron, he gave an account of how her pragmatic approach was applied !
And at no time has Mr Cameron claimed that Margaret, AS A PRAGMATIST, ever strayed from Conservatism.
As for 'claiming' that Margaret carried through 'big Government in nature' pragmatic solutions, I make no such 'claim'. A claim falls short of the truth, and it is the TRUTH that she applied that pragmatism in that way. If you wish to question this in any way, then you are at odds with history, and, for that matter, what Margaret was all about.
Here's the truth about you. You really cannot relate pragmatism to a philosophy, can you ? This, of course, would be very true of a LEFTIE mindset - obviously so. And, it's true of YOU.

I understand conservatism and I understand pragmatism, those are two distinct and separate things. When the right says 2+2=4 and the left says 2+2=6 and a pragmatist, conservative or otherwise, agrees to 2+2=5 then no true conservative would that 2+2=5 is conservatism. The problem for you becomes your conflicting view points; On the one hand you claim to be a conservative but on the other you claim that you are "Proudly Thatcherite." Those are two distinct and separate things if you buy into the claim of pragmatism. Now I'm sure that Mags was squarely conservative and I'm sure she had to pragmatically get things done but to claim that everything she did was conservative because she did it is soundly false.

Thatcher was not an ideologue, Utley argued, but a pragmatic politician; and he gave the examples of her refusal to radically reform the welfare state, and her avoidance of a miners' strike in 1981 at a time when the Government was not ready to handle it.
http://www.markedbyteachers.com/as-and-a-level/politics/how-similar-was-thatcherism-to-traditional-conservatism-1.html
This policy although could be argued along the ideological lines of conservatism that this contradicted the organic society, it does however reiterate the pragmatic nature of Thatcher's doctrine, which itself is central to traditional conservatism.
Taking notes, FJ ? -- "CENTRAL TO TRADITIONAL CONSERVATISM" --
.. Or ARE you just doing the Leftie thing, and rejecting it all, just because you choose to ?
http://theconversation.com/the-death-of-margaret-thatcher-and-the-legacy-of-thatcherism-13324
Famously, she described Mikhail Gorbachev as a man with whom she “could do business".
This suggests a pragmatic element within Thatcherism. It would be strange indeed for an ideology that calls for a fresh and vital approach to stale and conventional thinking to refuse change when it emerges. Thatcherism is a cautiously optimistic ideology. It warns of dangers but does not pass-up opportunities. Again, the Gorbachev phenomenon is illustrative in this regard. Thatcher urged her western allies to treat the Soviet leader with “realism and strength…we shall reach our judgments not on words, not on intentions, not on promises, but on actions and results".
Likewise, pragmatic assessments need not preclude moral conclusions. When Margaret Thatcher consented to the American air-strike against Libya in 1986 – an action finally brought to a conclusion by Barack Obama in 2011 – she did so after considerable calculation as to how the West’s moral case against Gaddafi would be furthered.
Getting the message yet ?
If you're at all likely to take the smallest notice, I'll see if I can dig out even MORE proof of the truth of Margaret, her pragmatism, and how central pragmatism was to her leadership - the application of her principles - and, indeed, the place it operationally holds in modern Conservatism. BUT, you'll have to be willing to learn from what I post.

Student written piece eh? How far did you have to look to hang your argument on a term paper? ;) Perhaps if the "student written piece" didn't really contradict itself.
What has been highlighted from the aforementioned aspects of 'Thatcherism' is that although it differs in many areas from traditional conservative thought, it adheres to a set of ideas that deny ideology and reject the dogmatic approach that other ideologies do.

The common influenza virus is more contagious and infects/kills more people than Ebola.
Trouble is, the flu is old hat to the media and doesn't cause the amount of panic that Ebola does. If you need viewers 24/7, you need panic.
The flu virus isn't anymore contagious than ebola, it's just ignored, which is why it infects/kills more people.
They are both spread through contact.
Again, if the international community treated every flu victim the same way they treated every ebola victim, hunting down everyone they came in contact with and isolating them, flu infections and deaths would greatly decrease.

The problem for you is that you've attached yourself not to an ideology but to an individual and it's the individual who may have to compromise ideals to get things done. I'll argue that Reagan was a staunch conservative but when it came to "pragmatically" governing he signed his name to some things that were not conservative in nature; Social Security reform, EITC, amnesty, etc. For some reason you feel called to defend some big government solutions because of the who. You should go find another student term paper to help you brush up. ;)
I imagine then that you'll provide examples of where Mags endorsed torture.

Brilliant stuff. You've now spotted the flaw in your argument, you know it IS one, but instead of admitting you've been wrong, you try to fudge your ridiculous mistake.
But here's the thing .. if you'd been the Conservative you've claimed you are, you'd never have put yourself in your contradictory position.
From your latest weak offering, I can summarise it thus: according to you, Conservatives are Conservatives, except when they're .. not ... yet you're still critical of what it is that makes them .. 'not' .. (!!) ..:rolleyes:
Not particularly logical. If at all.
Let's recap.
http://www.debatepolicy.com/showthread.php?47132-Ebola-Vs&p=711550#post711550
Here, you saw no connection at all between Margaret's Conservatism and her pragmatism, because here, you were rejecting that she could be both. Your words ..
Oh man, that post was priceless. You're not even defending her as a conservative anymore, you're defending her as a pragmatist. But thank you for confirming my statements about you, you're not a conservative you're a pragmatist. You are after all a 'Thatcherite.'
No room for doubt here, you were even derisory in so much as considering the two attributes as ever possibly coexisting within a Conservative.
Further on, in a couple of posts, I gave you a number of links which provided evidence you were wrong. To cite but one quote from them .. this from a Conservative Prime Minister, a successor of Margaret's, leading the same Party she'd led, decades earlier:
I draw inspiration from Margaret Thatcher's record as a great moderniser and a great pragmatist.
Now, why would a Conservative PRIME MINISTER consider that INSPIRATIONAL ? From your original reckoning, pragmatism should DISQUALIFY him as a Conservative !!! But he was praising Margaret Thatcher for that !!
.. whoops !! .. :rolleyes::rolleyes:
It gets worse.
http://www.debatepolicy.com/showthread.php?47132-Ebola-Vs&p=711565#post711565
Your words here (.. after you'd failed to comprehend your blunder !) ..
If you're a pragmatist then you're not beholden to an ideology. Hence malleable.
Well, then - either David Cameron, a Conservative Prime Minister, didn't understand Conservatism (!!), or, he was claiming that arguably THE FINEST BRITISH CONSERVATIVE OF THE MODERN AGE, WASN'T A CONSERVATIVE (... oh yes, and 'malleable' ..) !!
FJ, why are your blunders invariably such whoppers ???
From ..
http://www.debatepolicy.com/showthread.php?47132-Ebola-Vs&p=711670#post711670
I understand conservatism and I understand pragmatism, those are two distinct and separate things.
.. you persist with your error. And ...
On the one hand you claim to be a conservative but on the other you claim that you are "Proudly Thatcherite." Those are two distinct and separate things if you buy into the claim of pragmatism.
... you still aren't getting it here, either ...
A further attempt was made to teach you, in my following post. But here, you corrected yourself, to an interesting degree ...
http://www.debatepolicy.com/showthread.php?47132-Ebola-Vs&p=711719#post711719
What have I rejected? I agree that she was squarely a conservative and that she had to be pragmatic in getting things done
.... which shows the ground you had to make up, from these original words of yours ..
Oh man, that post was priceless. You're not even defending her as a conservative anymore, you're defending her as a pragmatist. But thank you for confirming my statements about you, you're not a conservative you're a pragmatist.
.... doesn't it, FJ ?
Oh, you tried to cover for yourself as you continued blathering. Fact is, though, that it even dawned on YOU that your lack of understanding of Conservatism .. BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT ONE, YOURSELF ... had caused you to trip up. Blunder understood, you couldn't be honest enough to admit it.
You've tried attacking on the grounds that 'Big Government' decisions aren't Conservative. To which I'd simply say that ideally, they are not to be preferred. However, at times, situations DO call for them .. and a pragmatist recognises that. Margaret was a pragmatist, a quality which earned her much praise FROM A CONSERVATIVE PM .. because, as you YOURSELF eventually admitted,
I agree that she was squarely a conservative and that she had to be pragmatic in getting things done
Yes, FJ. EXACTLY.
9/11. Consider : what else but a series of 'Big Government' decisions could've possibly answered the events of that day ?
To Britain, and the chaos caused by Trade Union militancy in the late '70's. Margaret applied 'Big Government' decisions to fixing that, via legislation.
More, from British politics: the 'share ownereship' revolution. The 'council house purchase' revolution'. Section 28, a law clamping down on gay promotion. Each were Big Government decisions, AND EACH CAME FROM A CONSERVATIVE PRIME MINISTER, APPLYING A NECESSARILY PRAGMATIC APPROACH TO THE ADVANCEMENT OF DISTINCTLY CONSERVATIVE OBJECTIVES.
FJ ... your ignorance about Margaret Thatcher, your inability to grasp a cornerstone of Conservatism in action, your characteristically Left-wing inability to escape from your propagandist rut, into which you'd locked yourself .. all of this points to two, obvious, facts.
1. YOU ARE A FRAUD.
2. YOU ARE A TOTAL WASTE OF MY TIME.

But here you are yet again defending the big government solution. Pragmatism aside how is the "Big Government decision to fix that" superior to the Small Government decision?

Oh, by the way ... it'll be helpful to get back to the subject-matter of this thread, as this in itself lends itself to the form of argument I've tried to make ....
EBOLA
What we have in my part of the world is Leftie blindness so strong, that it disassociates political correctness from lifesaving commonsense.
The EU has, in place, what it insists is an inviolable position of that of allowing free movement of citizens between different Member States. A Frenchman can travel to Germany, for example, as if territorial borders didn't exist. Or, anyone in mainland Europe from a member EU State can come across to the UK.
The British Prime Minister wants to renegotiate such a 'right', to regain control of British borders.
The EU - courtesy of Barroso, the outgoing EU President - says 'NO' ... the principle of free movement is a fundamental right in the EU. That Ebola might (and probably will) establish itself in EU countries (and Spain has already had its case of it) makes not the slightest difference to Barroso, nor to other EU leaders. If it spreads, it spreads. If that spread is helped by open borders, then it is. Leftie political correctness is blind to that reality, and shows no sign of considering it .. at all.
What that situation needs is a hefty dose of pragmatic consideration. What it needs is Big Government decision-making meeting the challenge, realistically, as only IT can (.. perhaps you know of a 'Small Government' remedy, FJ ?)
But, no. What we have IS LEFTIE MYOPIA GETTING IN THE WAY OF REALITY.
Never mind, though, FJ. These words are wasted on you. Leftie blindness is a truly terrible thing.

That I would want to argue in defence of big Government is a fiction of your own creation.
What I've sought to do - and which your Leftie outlook has utterly failed to comprehend - is show you the truth that, on occasions, 'big Government' decision-making is necessary. It simply is.
The point of Conservatism is that it does not seek to intrude upon the individual - or his/her rights - UNLESS IT'S REALLY NECESSARY. But, you being a Leftie, you cannot comprehend the place of pragmatism within a greater philosophy, can you .. what Leftie ever could ?
I've supplied examples of that already. Review them and you'll see my point ... IF your philosophy can cope with that extent of realism ....
'Mags' was INDEED 'awesome' ... though, ironically, what helps prove that is a quality you say you disapprove of. You are in the ridiculous situation of disapproving of the methodology she adopted, whilst still heaping praise on her ....
Which means just one thing.
YOU CANNOT BE FOR REAL. You see 'Conservatism' through the distorting lens of Left-wing thought processes and cannot escape, nor even properly comprehend, the nature of that failing.

I haven't said that Big Government is the same as Small Government - that's just some trolling fiction from you. What I HAVE said - please pay attention this time !! - is that pragmatism has its place in Conservative Government, that on occasions that very pragmatism calls for decisions that can't be other than Big Government ones.
Kindly explain how Margaret Thatcher qualifies as a 'RINO' (because she must, if I accept your premise) ....
Taking on Unions, as she did, via legislation. Section 28 - and more besides, already listed. All of it 'Big Government', all of it entered into by Lady Thatcher without any hesitation. And David Cameron has praised this, and other displays of her pragmatism, as the Conservative PRIME MINISTER that he is. But you reject all of this evidence .. and, for why ?
Because ....... you are a LEFTIE. Lefties attack Conservatives - so do you. Not least here, on this forum .... and on a daily basis.
You want to see terrorists in the kindliest way imaginable. So do Lefties (... led by Jimmy Carter ?).
You say 'BO sucks', yet, whenever any thread makes a strong argument for his impeachment (for example) ... I've never seen you lend support to any such argument.
Now recently, you've even shown disapproval of Lady Thatcher's own style of Conservative leadership. Tut decidedly tut ....

And how many times have I told you that I don't "attack conservatives"? I do however point out where people's arguments may be wrong and you and your idiot knucklehead friends are wrong aplenty. As to your impeachment prattle; hardly ever is a strong argument made and when one may be made it's buried under scores of stupid arguments. I'm sorry that you don't understand what I've told you repeatedly.
Torture? Here's someone who was out front of Jimmy:
Recently, especially in Asia, some governments have urged that the standards of Human Rights laid down in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights attached to the UN Charter, are Western and therefore not suitable for Asia and parts of the Third World whose cultures and circumstances are different. But the dispositions of human nature are the same everywhere—the affection of mother for child, the wish to do better for the family, the desire of the child to please, the recognition of courage and heroism, and the suffering and torture are felt the same by all human beings. Further, I have no difficulty in accepting the view that human nature is naturally endowed with a moral sense and a disposition (albeit if sometimes fragile) to make moral judgements. It's not only Western man who is created in God's image.
And of course:
... she instinctively knew that complicity with torture was an affront to everything that Britain stands for – above all, our respect for tolerance, decency and the rule of law.

And if you find you can't resist the troll trick of rewriting someone else's post, at least try to be grammatically correct about it ! 'I'm AN moron', was your semi-literate rewrite ! Pathetic ...
Corrections are due from your last post. Firstly, and as I've made clear, I do not 'reject' small Government. I simply say that, as any pragmatist (e.g Margaret Thatcher) would have told you, small Government isn't the answer to every political problem out there. On occasions, an alternative must be employed.
That's simply how it is. Margaret understood it. You, as the ex-'Ultimate Thatcherite', if genuine as one (which you're NOT, of course) should as well.
Secondly .. your claim that you don't attack Conservatives is arguably your most blatant lie of them all. You seemingly never STOP doing so. And so much so that any elaboration on that is surely unnecessary to anyone who ever reads your stuff.
I note your defence of your anti-impeachment line. There are Conservatives here - yes, those you are also pleased to attack - who would, indeed have, been in strong disagreement with you on that score.
But then, for someone who 'sucks', you do defend that character when the chips are really down.
I note your need to quote from a non-Western source to criticise UN human rights standards. This in answer to the torture issue ?
And consider this: terrorists do their own torturing. You seem to have overlooked that in your ongoing zeal to identify with them.
So when Lady Thatcher rejected complicity with torture - and that, note, ON LAW AND ORDER GROUNDS - could it also be said that she was, in no small measure, being anti-terrorist when taking that line ?
[She was no friend of the IRA. She made one of her 'Big Government' decisions in banning terrorist soundtracks from being aired, remember.]

I "attack" idiots, some of whom claim to be conservative when are actually "conservative."
Kathianne holds the same view that it would be a bad political decision to pursue impeachment now. Is she a leftie?
Saying BO sucks is defending him? Man you dumb.
And in regards to the torture bit. Do you not know Margaret Thatcher's own words (http://www.margaretthatcher.org/document/108322)? Because that is laughable coming from someone who claims to be a "Thatcherite." You don't even know what that means :laugh: But I'm sure you'll continue to lie like the hypocritical moron that you are and claim that I'm "identifying" with terrorists and "defending" them and all that rot but the truth is that you are an idiot of the highest order and no friend to conservatism ANYWHERE. You know nothing of truth.
If you are the last line of defense for conservatism across the pond then conservatives are surely screwed over there because you don't know the first thing about it.

...small Government isn't the answer to every political problem out there. On occasions, an alternative must be employed.
Do tell. Conservatives everywhere are listening.

Only an idiot like you complains about hijacking and trolling and then goes on to make the posts that you do.
... h'm.
You know what ? You may actually have something of a point. I really MUST be an idiot, for giving your trolling the time of day.
After all, yet AGAIN, you're indulging in thread hijacking. Not one word in your latest post about Ebola. AGAIN.
But thank you for pointing out my grammatical error.
You're most welcome.
I had started with idiot but changed it to moron for continuity sake and didn't make the appropriate correction.
.... proving WHO to be the real idiot ?
I've rarely see you argue FOR small government and scores of posts arguing FOR big government.
As this thread proves, I've argued for pragmatism and its place in Conservative Government, showing you in the process how willing Margaret was to employ such methods. As a result, some of her methods were Big Government in nature.
You avoid the obvious truth this leads to ... because you just prefer to launch your trolling attacks here, instead.
I "attack" idiots, some of whom claim to be conservative when are actually "conservative."
If you're being consistent, your attacks should therefore be aimed at Margaret Thatcher, since I've shown you the extent of her own culpability, in 'Big Government' terms. But then, Margaret fails to be any form of target capable of reacting to your trolling rot ... eh, FJ ?
And you do love to have an actual audience ... to attack .....
Saying BO sucks is defending him?
You say what it suits you to say at any one moment. Consistency is NOT your strong point.
Another of your 'sucks' statements has been to say 'austerity sucks'. Now, on the thread(s) where you said that, you were going all-out to attack Conservatives in the UK who dared to apply a highly successful remedy to our financial ills, which YOU strongly disapproved of.
Why ? Because you're a CONSERVATIVE, supporting CONSERVATIVES .... ? Hardly, FJ.
And in regards to the torture bit. Do you not know Margaret Thatcher's own words (http://www.margaretthatcher.org/document/108322)? Because that is laughable coming from someone who claims to be a "Thatcherite."
...ahem !!! I can say EXACTLY that, to YOU.
I've looked at your link .... which, of course, predates 9/11 and everything following by a great margin. So, tell me ... where does terrorism get a mention .. AT ALL ??
As for 'torture' ... here's what your link says:
Recently, especially in Asia, some governments have urged that the standards of Human Rights laid down in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights attached to the UN Charter, are Western and therefore not suitable for Asia and parts of the Third World whose cultures and circumstances are different. But the dispositions of human nature are the same everywhere—the affection of mother for child, the wish to do better for the family, the desire of the child to please, the recognition of courage and heroism, and the suffering and torture are felt the same by all human beings. Further, I have no difficulty in accepting the view that human nature is naturally endowed with a moral sense and a disposition (albeit if sometimes fragile) to make moral judgements. It's not only Western man who is created in God's image.
.... which is what YOU added in post #82, of course. But naturally, you omitted to place this within its NON terrorist context.
The date of this speech from Margaret ? 20th September, 1993 ... and what has the world seen, since ?
Something which MARGARET WOULD HAVE HAD NO MODERN-DAY EXPERIENCE OF.
I'm tired of answering your troll rubbish, so I'll conclude quickly. I cannot claim, nor do I, that you have any actual, REAL understanding of terrorists. Naturally not, since you - as your pal Jimmy C would do, at every opportunity - would argue that they are 'HUMAN BEINGS', deserving of HUMAN RIGHTS.
Now, what LEFTIE would disagree with that, FJ ?
After all - YOU don't .....
No, you just defend them in that way. You have, on multiple threads. It's The Leftie Thing To Do, after all .....

Do tell. Conservatives everywhere are listening.
Those Conservatives need only examine Margaret Thatcher's record, and make their own judgments from such a review. Then reflect on how very successful a CONSERVATIVE she was.
They may then reflect on your inexplicable position, both supportive, yet also simultaneously dismissive, of her achievements ... rather as a Leftie would be, if said Leftie had presented bogus bona fides to a discussion forum ...

It's a start anyway. And you made this thread about your imagination loooooooooooonnnnnnnggggg ago. :slap:
You're most welcome.

The hypocritical grammar nazi of course.

There's pragmatism and there's conservatism. Pragmatism is not conservatism. And there is of course you defending Big Government. Repeatedly.
If you're being consistent, your attacks should therefore be aimed at Margaret Thatcher, since I've shown you the extent of her own culpability, in 'Big Government' terms. But then, Margaret fails to be any form of target capable of reacting to your trolling rot ... eh, FJ ?
And you do love to have an actual audience ... to attack .....
A. She's not with us anymore, and 2. She has not proven herself to be an idiot as have you. Of course she would also not be seeing through your imagination.
You say what it suits you to say at any one moment. Consistency is NOT your strong point.
:laugh: I say it all the time. :laugh:
...ahem !!! I can say EXACTLY that, to YOU.
I've looked at your link .... which, of course, predates 9/11 and everything following by a great margin. So, tell me ... where does terrorism get a mention .. AT ALL ??
As for 'torture' ... here's what your link says:
We can all agree that terrorism is bad m'kay which leaves the response to terrorists which you can only respond with is torture. And since you were utterly unaware of what Mags says about it that leaves your "Thatcherite" status as questionable.
.... which is what YOU added in post #82, of course. But naturally, you omitted to place this within its NON terrorist context.

Which of course leaves your response above which can only be translated that you think Margaret Thatcher is malleable. You can't say that she had no experience with terror responses because you've already pointed out her IRA decisions so what is left? What is left is you disagreeing with Mags' very words. Mags and Jimmy C. together on the leftie front. :laugh:
It sucks to be you debate toy. :)

Do it hack. Defend it; Big Government is better than Small Government. Don't run away. 'Proudly Thatcherite' my A*!

I'll make this quick, because I'm weary of your trolling and thread hijacking. I've better things to do with my time than indulge your Leftie-driven ego.
Pragmatism, as Margaret proved, and as David Cameron acknowledged, can be a highly effective way of making Conservatism work to its utmost potential. They can enjoy a successful synergistic interlocking, to produce brilliant Governmental effects. History says so, despite anything you have to say on the matter.
-- But -- here, your true Leftie psychology betrays you. Doesn't it ?? What Leftie can come to terms with pragmatism being part of an integral, successful application, of a philosophy ?
You'll never get that. You can't. No Leftie could be content with that form of reality.
YOU were the one unaware of proper context from a speech of Margaret's. Saying what ... that all you know of her is what quick Google searches give you ?
When I referred to Margaret's lack of modern day experience of terrorism, I had in mind that her experience was defined by her knowledge of the IRA. NOT that of Islamic terrorism, since all of our modern experiences of it post-date her Leadership.
So you cannot look to anything she spoke about and say it correctly assesses today's terrorist problems. The world has seen a new order of terrorist savagery, to which it should appropriately respond.

See ? You just can't face historical reality. It's beyond you.
I have covered your rot already. I have told you that a true Conservative does not prefer big Government solutions, since after all, the point is to NOT interfere with individual lives any more than is necessary. BUT ... history, and Margaret's successes, speak volumes. Whether you like it or not .... much of what she achieved had to involve a Big Government sort of approach.
Defy reality all you like, Mr Leftie - it's what Lefties are best at. Margaret's history, her record, what she was willing to do, and HOW she did it .. it's easily researchable. It's high time you did some proper research ! You can face the truth, or, you can cling on to a basis for your trolling rot which has you continuing to fight Conservatives here on a 'grounding' of self-delusion.
And just how stupid would such an exercise be, anyway ?
Have fun.

So what you're saying idiot is that small government is successful because Big Government? When you find yourself in a hole idiot you should stop digging.
So what you're saying idiot is that the Iron Lady would have forsaken her core beliefs when confronted with something that she had already been confronted with. Yeah, it sounds stupid when you say it too. I also find it incredible idiot that I had to point out that it was Mags who had said it; Any real "Thatcherite" would/should have known from the get go. You're welcome.
And I'm pretty sure that we can appropriately respond to terror without resorting to doing what terrorists do. I'm sure the Lady Thatcher and I agree on that. :)

:facepalm99:
Here's the thing idiot. You saying idiotic things really isn't proof of anything since you've now been on record of praising big government solutions over small government solutions. I'm pretty sure you don't even know what actual conservatism is since you seem so quick to jump on big government solutions when the going gets tough for you. Small government conservatism is a courageous choice and you're nothing but a coward latching on to a big government solution.
