THE 25 MARGARET THATCHER QUOTES THAT CRUSH OBAMA AND THE LEFT


No one in the world, with the exception of Ronald Reagan, spoke with as much elegance, eloquence, power, and persuasiveness like the late Margaret Thatcher.  Today, Obama, in his statement about her passing,  referred to Lady Thatcher as “one of the great champions of freedom and liberty”. This is one of the rare occasions in which he has spoken the truth.  But how can Obama say Baroness Thatcher was a “great champion of freedom and liberty” when everything she stood for is in 100% opposition to his tyrannical, Marxist regime?  So, if she stood for “freedom and liberty,” then why doesn’t he agree with her politically?
Below are 25 of the best quotes from Margaret Thatcher that capture her belief in free markets, limited government, personal responsibility and individual liberty, all American principles which Obama has completely rejected.  She effectively destroys liberalism, progressivism, socialism, communism and Barack Obama with the quotes below, and what you’ll see after reading them is this: Either Obama’s lying about Thatcher being a “great champion of freedom and liberty,” or he is the greatest champion against freedom and liberty :
“To cure the British disease with socialism was like trying to cure leukemia with leeches.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
“I came to office with one deliberate intent: to change Britain from a dependent to a self-reliant society — from a give-it-to-me, to a do-it-yourself nation. A get-up-and-go, instead of a sit-back-and-wait-for-it Britain.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
“We 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.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
Obama has/is doing exactly the opposite in America.  He is destroying the country by making as many people as possible dependent on government.   His socialist policies reward failure and punish success.  The result has been millions more people on welfare or disability, while he and his sycophants in the media repeat Obama’s lie that the economy is improving.
“My job is to stop Britain from going red.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
From the looks of it, one would think that Obama’s job is just the opposite.  In looking at what he has done, he sees his job, and what an amazing job he’s doing, of turning the USA into the USSR.  There is no area of your life that Obama doesn’t want to tax, regulate and/or control.
“There can be no liberty unless there is economic liberty.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
Obama does not believe in free markets or economic liberty, and therefore doesn’t believe in individual liberty.  He believes that businesses can effectively make no decisions without the permission his bureaucratic goons.
“They’re casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It’s our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
“Socialists cry “Power to the people”, and raise the clenched fist as they say it. We all know what they really mean—power over people, power to the State.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
“Communist regimes were not some unfortunate aberration, some historical deviation from a socialist ideal. They were the ultimate expression, unconstrained by democratic and electoral pressures, of what socialism is all about. … In short, the state [is] everything and the individual nothing.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
Here you have the problem with the Left, whether it be fascists, liberals, progressives, democrats or communists. With these tyrants, there are not individual rights, only group ones.  In fact, in Obama’s twisted, perversion of Christianity, there is no individual salvation, but only “collective” salvation:  ”Our individual salvation depends on collective salvation.” To the Commie Left, as with Obama, the “collective” is everything, and the individual is nothing.
“Of course it’s the same old story. Truth usually is the same old story.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
This destroys Obama’s and the Left’s narrative that “all truth is relative,” and that truth “evolves,” that ethics are situational, there are no absolutes, and the Constitution is a “living, breathing” document, written by old, white guys.
“I owe nothing to Women’s Lib.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
Oops!  You mean Margaret Thatcher made it to the top without radical feminists?  She did it without government mandates and quotas?  Can’t you just see Gloria Steinem’s head explode?
“Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They always run out of other people’s money. It’s quite a characteristic of them.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
“Pennies don’t fall from heaven, they have to be earned here on earth.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
“Good Conservatives always pay their bills. And on time. Not like the Socialists who run up other people’s bills.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
“Let us never forget this fundamental truth:  The State has no source of money other than the money people themselves earn.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
“Let me give you my vision: A man’s right to work as he will, to spend what he earns, to own property, to have the state as servant and not as master.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
These five quotes fly in the face of the Obama Left’s view that all money is government’s first, then politicians and bureaucrats, from the goodness of their own hearts, are generous enough to allow you to keep a small portion of what you’ve worked for (i.e., slavery).  The Obama regime made this clear in two ways.  Firstly, inventing and repeating ad nauseum the mantra that “tax cuts are spending,” and secondly with Obama’s Orwellian, “You didn’t build that” comment.  Like America’s Founding Fathers, Thatcher understood and believed in property rights and that there is no liberty without them.
“All corporatism – even when practised in societies where hard work, enterprise and cooperation are as highly valued as in Korea – encourages inflexibility, discourages individual accountability, and risks magnifying errors by concealing them.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
Obama campaigned (originally) against corporatism, yet it’s unfortunately thrived under Obama.  It’s highly unconstitutional for government (taxpayer) money to be used  to pick winners and losers.  Winners and losers should be determined by free markets, not government force or political favoritism, as they are now.
“Constitutions have to be written on hearts, not just paper.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
Our Constitution, the longest running in world history, is null and void if, a) No one reads it, b) No one understands its original intent and interpretation, and c) to the extent it is taught in the government monopolized schools, it’s taught as a “living, breathing document,” in other words, manipulated to mean anything the Left wants it to mean.  Without strict adherence to our Constitution there is NO LIMIT on government, exactly what Obama desires. Remember when Communist Democrat John Conyers referred to the “Good and Welfare” clause and most Americans didn’t even bat an eye?
“It is not the creation of wealth that is wrong, but the love of money for its own sake.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
Many people are confused about Obama’s Marxist class-warfarism. He does believe in wealth, believe it or not, but only by leftist politicians, bureaucrats, and his corporate (usually green) and union cronies who keep him and his ilk in power and control.  He’s okay with a certain amount of wealth creation, as long as his preferred groups benefit.
“No one would remember the Good Samaritan if he’d only had good intentions; he had money as well.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
Related to the previous quote, this one speaks volumes.  Wrongly, for decades, the Left has been judged on their “intentions” rather than their disastrous results. Never in the history of civilation has one of their policies worked as promised, yet we always give them a pass because “at least they mean well.”  NO THEY DON’T!
“Many of our troubles are due to the fact that our people turn to politicians for everything.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations, because there is no such thing as an entitlement unless someone has first met an obligation.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
These two go hand-in-hand.  In Obama’s Welfare State, Obama plays on the fact that as human beings, we all love freebies.  Getting something for free without having to work for it?  You bet!  Who wouldn’t, right?  The problem with this trait is that when more people want handouts than those who are willing to work, the system implodes.
“When all the objectives of government include the achievement of equality – other than equality before the law – that government poses a threat to liberty.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
The Left’s perverted use of “equality,” as defined by them as equality of outcomes (rather than opportunity), an idea that can only be achieved through a tyrannical regime, versus equality under the law (something they don’t believe in) makes the Founding Fathers spin in their graves. Every time they say “social justice” or, as Obama robotically repeats, “fairness,” remember that these are both just code words for communism.  Where is their “equality” as the Left defines it?  Cuba and North Korea.  Thatcher knew that you can’t have government assuring that we’re all robots and at the same time enjoy the freedom and liberty God has granted us.
“Socialists have always spent much of their time seeking new titles for their beliefs, because the old versions so quickly become outdated and discredited.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
This one is priceless. Lefties have to periodically redefine labels to keep from being outed as the communists they are.  Communists came to this country under the mask of calling themselves “progressives.”  Then, when they burned out that label and were exposed, they high-jacked the term, “liberal” (see Classic Liberalism).  Now that they’ve destroyed that term, they’re recycling “progressive” again, knowing that they’ve lied in history books for decades and Americans memories are very short.
“Socialism’s results have ranged between the merely shabby and the truly catastrophic – poverty, strife, oppression and, on the killing fields of communism, the deaths this century of perhaps 100 million people. Against that doctrine was set a contrary, conservative belief in a law-governed liberty. It was this view which triumphed with the crumbling of the Berlin Wall. Since then, the Left has sought rehabilitation by distancing itself from its past.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
“Marxists get up early to further their cause. We must get up even earlier to defend our freedom.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
I’ve saved the best two for last.  Why the best?  Because this is the one piece of advice that Tea Party Conservatives, Libertarians and Constitutionalists must heed.  The Left call their Communist Movement “Progressive” for a reason.  Every day, they wake up seeking ways to destroy our country, advancing their Marxist ball down the field toward their utopian hell, and they’re diligent and relentless at it.  Let us honor the great Margaret Thatcher by taking her advice!
