    \n
  1. On Getting Things Done:
    \n<\/strong>\u201cIf you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. An Iron Prime Minister:
    \n<\/strong>\u201cIf you just set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing.\u201d
    \n<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. \u201cI\u2019m extraordinarily patient provided I get my own way in the end.\u201d
    \n<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  4. \u201cWhere there is discord, may we bring harmony. Where there is error, may we bring truth. Where there is doubt, may we bring faith. And where there is despair, may we bring hope.\u201d
    \n<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  5. \u201cI am in politics because of the conflict between good and evil, and I believe that in the end good will triumph.\u201d
    \n<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n

  10. On Government:
    \n<\/strong>\u201cWe want a society where people are free to make choices, to make mistakes, to be generous and compassionate. This is what we mean by a moral society; not a society where the state is responsible for everything, and no one is responsible for the state.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  11. On Humanity, Society, & Feminism:
    \n<\/strong>\u201cThe woman\u2019s mission is not to enhance the masculine spirit, but to express the feminine; hers is not to preserve a man-made world, but to create a human world by the infusion of the feminine element into all of its activities.\u201d
    \n<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  12. \u201cI owe nothing to Women\u2019s Lib.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n

  14. \"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n

    Margaret Thatcher at President Reagan’s Funeral<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    On Socialism:
    \n<\/strong>\u201cSocialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They always run out of other people\u2019s money. It\u2019s quite characteristic of them.\u201d
    \n<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n

  17. \u201cAnd what a prize we have to fight for: no less than the chance to banish from our land the dark divisive clouds of Marxist socialism.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  18. Margaret Thatcher’s Most Famous Quote of All <\/strong>(paraphrased):<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cThe trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.\u201d
    \n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
