The British Left is "celebrating" Thatchers death (dancing on the streets) (cost, leader)

That's how the unhinged left behaves in a disarmed society.

The limp and nostalgic demonstrations by the anorak-weirdo-leftie crowd on the occasion of Lady Thatcher's death reminds me of her first death - the political one.

On November 28, 1990, she left Downing Street by car and traveled the short distance down the Mall to Buckingham Palace, where she tendered her resignation to H.M. The Queen. A few hours later, in the tea room of a University of London institute, I first heard the news: Thatcher's been to Buck House! She resigned! Maggie is out!

Later that day, she appeared for the last time as prime minister on the floor of the House of Commons and delivered a virtuoso swan-song speech, half apologia and half defiance, which had the Tory backbenches roaring in loyal approval and the Labour benches baying like hounds for her blood.

Quite suddenly, just a bit more than half-way through, she paused, and in a voice very different than her usual strident Commons tone, said "I'm rather enjoying this!". And, watching her for the last time on the news that night, on a borrowed box in squalid grad-student digs in an impoverished north-London borough, even I could tell she really was enjoying it.

I hated and loved her. As the memoirs were published year by year, it appears most of her cabinet, who knew her far better than an anonymous student who never so much as laid eyes on her in person, felt the same - they hated her and loved her.

But there's one thing I know about her just as well as Willie Whitelaw or Ridley or any of her loyalists who knew her did: she really enjoyed her last stand. When it came, and she knew she had no other choice, she reveled in her political death.

The right-wing Florida Rubio fans (who, btw, as Cuban Americans tend to be some of the most racist people in America) show their true colors.

Good point. The same was true for Castro.

Ah, the double standard.

Conservatives celebrate Chavez’s death | For What It's Worth

Breitbart publicly celebrated Ted Kennedy's death

Those don't look like rioting though. No police presence, no private property damage.

Ever heard of the KKK? Their ideology is solidly right-wing.

For every example you give of the "unhinged" I could give you 30 of the right.

No way, just think what the right would do if Obama was killed? I will give you a hint, mourning wouldn't be it.

Okay, give me an example where a bunch of right-wingers are protesting by damaging private property.
