Thatcher's America
American Minute
October 13, 2009
While traveling through New York City in 1996, Margaret Thatcher, the first woman Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, when interviewed, stated: "The Ten Commandments are addressed to each and every person. This is the origin of our common humanity and of the sanctity of the individual. Each one has a duty to try to carry out those commandments. You don't get that in any other political creed...It is personal liberty with personal responsibility." Margaret Thatcher continued: "Responsibility to your parents, to your children, to your God. This really binds us together in a way that nothing else does. If you accept freedom, you've got to have principles about the responsibility. You can't do this without a biblical foundation." Thatcher on America: "Your Founding Fathers came over with that. They came over with the doctrines of the New Testament as well as the Old. They looked after one another, not only as a matter of necessity, but as a matter of duty to their God. There is no other country in the world which started that way."
What has clouded our minds and clogged our valves so that we can't or won't listen to such words of wisdom. If we don't we may not have a free country much longer.
