GIULIANI BEING HELPED BY ADVISER TO MARGARET THATCHER WHO HELPED REAGAN START THE COLLAPSE OF AMERICA
THE RUDY GIULIANI Presidential Committee has announced that former advisors to former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher Robert Conquest and Dr. Nile Gardiner are supporting Mayor Giuliani for President. Conquest will serve as a member of the Senior Foreign Policy Advisory Board and Gardiner, the Director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at the Heritage Foundation, will serve as a member of the European Advisory Board.
The other new addition to the Mayor's foreign policy team is National Review Senior Editor David Pryce-Jones, who joins as a Senior Foreign Policy Advisor. Reports the Angry Arab blog: "In the first edition of his lousy book, The Closed Circle, the book lists Turkey as an Arab country. So he knows the Middle East as much as Rudy."
Thatcher was the brains behind Ronald Reagan. True, Reagan was not as corrupt as Nixon or Clinton, nor as gleefully imperial as George Bush the Lesser, and the damage he did was largely unintentional, the fatal mischief of a small minded man granted too much power.
But the result was to begin the decline and fall of the first American republic by convincing its leaders, media, and citizens that the main thing they needed for happiness was a free, unfettered market accompanied by sufficient faux cowboy rhetoric. That there was never any empirical evidence for the absurd economic assumptions didn't matter; his charm sufficed where logic failed.
The result: a a middle class with substantially greater problems, a lower class far more ignored, an ecology far more damaged, a much larger gap between rich and poor and between CEO and employee, Medicare and Social Security in danger and a culture of greed and narcissism that has buried ideals of democracy, community, and cooperation.

Should Giuliani win the nomination or presidency, I think I'll plant a Conquest Garden in honor of these two appropriately named advisors.
Excerpt from Great Moments in Counter-Cultural History
In the course of attempting to get a marijuana-legalization initiative on the ballot, six times since 1972, Jack Herer and other activists have lived on the front lawn of the Federal Building in Westwood for a hundred days at a time. They would feed, clothe, and provide portable bathrooms for petitioners. On the flagpole, the pot-people's flag flew proudly underneath the American flag.
One morning in January 1981, President-elect Ronald Reagan came to Westwood. It was five days before his inauguration, and he needed a haircut from his favorite barber. With his entourage of Secret Service agents, Reagan visited the Federal Building.
"You're doing a fine job," he told the manager, "and I want you to know that you can bring any of your problems to us. Incidentally, why are those Canadians down on the lawn?"
"They're not Canadians. Those are marijuana protesters, and they live down there 24 hours a day."
Reagan had mistaken the five-pointed hemp leaf for the maple leaf that is featured on the Canadian flag.

No Sam, I disagree with this. What about his attacks on Central American Countries Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala. Those invasions and support for murderous dictatorships led to the gruesome murder and torture of hundreds of thousands of people. May we never forgive those who are responsible for this great crime.
