How about there being innocent children still lying in hospitals dying as a reason...

Stepping into the fray.....


Better think about what you are saying with Thatcher. Can I assume you have her beliefs, like these?

1. She believed in climate change.
2. She believed in gun control.
3. She increased taxes.
4. Supported "socialized" healthcare.

Just take a moment and research her on these topics and get back to us with your thoughts, and not the crap you spew from FOX and their tools.
......................................................................



Dang. Think on your own.   



What did she do for England, beside throwing them into recession?

Thatcher......In my view the best Prime Minster we have had since Churchill.....she came into office in 79 after a Labour Gov had brought to our knee’s and we where the Greece of Europe....much of our problems then were the Gov run industries Steel/Coal/Gas/Water/Car Building all with Union only workers that would strike to force their point of view on the Gov....Labour or Conservative, all of these industries were run badly and needed Gov support to run and gave very poor service to the customer.....how many of you would buy one of our BL cars...you were lucky and had the high end stuff we had some real shockers.
So She took on the Union head on sold off utilities that all could buy shares in and closed the ones that did not pay, cut welfare, put up taxes and interest rates, by the time of the next election we were out of recession and been to war.......She was re-elected taxes came down employment went up along with our standing in the world......by the time of the next election we had paid off all our W11 debts and had a balanced Gov budget......She was re-elected.....and stayed in power for a total of 11 ½ year’s.
Yes she did have faults as we all do and did make a few big mistakes but on balance she was right allot more....what She had was vision and stuck to it.....not as now this flip flop politics run on polls.....
Yes there are some that feel left out and abandoned by her......but most got it, work = a better life even if that meant moving to were work was.
She gave herself to our Country as she believed in it.....its right we give her a State funeral (even though it’s not being called that) its one below they say.
All of what she changed is still here today with some add-ons from later Governments.....had lots of people trying to pull her down linking her with the banking crash but I don’t agree that was plain old greed.
We have had a few young people that think it’s a way to get there 15 minutes of fame off her death....but that’s the world we live in now.
I have worked though all the above to this day and would I have it back as it was in 79......NO WAY.
Shame we had no high ranking US Gov person at the funeral ...but we had some of your past statesmen.....but we did have a 19 year old from the US ..........Thatcher’s granddaughter Amanda ....... great speaker enjoy...... Reading

Oh, and our NHS was founded by a Labour Gov back in 1948.

Henry Kissinger and a few others from the past attended but not as part of a official delegation. I don't know where W was. Even though we routinely send VP's or at least secretary of state to funerals of lesser nations, our leaders were all to busy to make it to this one. Obama did send an official delegation to the funeral of Hugo Chaves. Just when I think I can not be more ashamed or embarrassed by this administration they up the anti.

Green energy
TSLA
FSLR
SCTY
They all went broke?
I guess in being up between 75% a d 95% in 5 months is broke.
Those government investments are looking wiser all the time.

I think I saw movement from inside the body bag they shoved Benghazi in over the weekend; and not on Fox. It was "Face the Nation" I think.

I think it'll stay quiet or blow sky high. I don't think we'll see anything in-between.

Don't click if you can't take the nausea?
Oops, I already clicked and it led me to this thread. You're right, it is nauseating and it should have died long ago.
Who is this Ben Gausie guy. Is he a Correct Craft Fan? Maybe he's a friend of that irrelevant Mitt guy that no one cares about either.

Good morning Dave!
Just wanted to give you a morning eye opener / chuckle. Fact is, few care. It has the odor of desperation. Diplomatic missions are dangerous in unfriendly countries. Unless we concentrate on more pressing issues nothing will continue to get done. Dodo happens. Nixon, lets not even go back to that Republican administration.
The face of the USA continues to evolve and the GOP is swiftly becoming the party of desperation and irrelevance. Lets hope they don't throw another retread out there in 14.
When is it going to warm up? Snowed yesterday in Manitowish Waters WI, but the ice came out Saturday. I hope it's better by you. I hope I don't have to break out the Northface gear and crampons for GL.

I had to revisit this post. As I said back in January I invested in those terrible companies that all went broke under O'bama. This post in January is more true today than ever.
How are these companies of the future doing now? Just check if you haven't been following the business news. Too bad we didn't support Solyndra a bit longer. They went out of business and now we are forced to buy our solar panels from China for the booming solar business.
O'bama, a visionary. How's your oil stock doin on that "drill baby drill" platform?

The Department of Energy invested $465,000,000 in Tesla in October 2011. At that time it would have bought 18,637,274 shares, since stock was trading at $24.96 Today that stock is worth $689,579,138 Department of Energy profit of $224,579,138. Solar City, another company the Department of Energy invested in with a loan of $275,000,000, went public in December 2012 at $11.00 Two months later the stock closed at $15.63, up 42% in 60 days, I'll take that. Department of Energy profit = $115,000,000. There are others as well, but these are the only ones I have positions in. There is always a great deal of risk in small cap new technology, but the rewards can be great as well. Everyone picks a big loser sometimes, and you don't have to pick more winners than losers either, just have a big winner come along once in a while. The risk was especially high with some of these given the time frame the purchase was made, with an election just on the horizon.. As a wise man on this site once said, "Do what you always do, get what you always got". Few people were ever exceptionally successful relying on an old business model. You have to think of the next thing.

"There is no "there" there." Sounds a lot like "It depends on what the definition of "is " is."

Yea. Just a bump in the road and a side show. Cops have dangerouse jobs to. Maybe when they call in shots fired we should have their fellow officers stand down to.

When there's a shooting in CT you don't call the Boise police, even though they are about the same distance

Right on schedule this morning the first story on my AP mobile is "Top IRS official didn't reveal tea party targeting", with an unflattering pic of Obama leading the story. A shot across the administrations bow, if not a direct hit.

Physical strength comes in handy if you plan on any of these as an occupation: Hanging drywall, plumbing, loading and unloading a truck, digging ditches, commercial fishing, being a lumberjack, digging for gold, iron worker, mason, welder, appearing on Springer, having a case before Judge Judy, ECT, but is that something to brag about? watch a reality show and marvel in the brilliance of the characters.

Staying in shape has it's benefits, but as a necessity, it pretty much went out with the Neandertals.

You may have to put in disclaimers or list when you are being sarcasitic. The subject matter on this thread changes so fast that in the time it takes to respond to a post the responce is deemed irrelevant by the new thread subject. Then again it is based on government which changes it's story or changes the subject as often as wind directoon changes and about for the same reason.
