This is from a speech she delivered to West Point, exactly 33 years ago.

She also died on this date (3/6) , 25 years ago.

POP for the comment.

Another POP for the comment.

Why does she have so many supporters?

Because our country was founded as a constitutional republic which respects the rights of individuals.

I will POP it hoping that you might read the entire speech and some of her other works. You may not like the message or the messenger...if that is the case, then you should lobby to change the basic tenets of the US constitution or move to a socialist country.

move to a socialist country.

What?? And become a victim of our foreign policy?
