Tories and Conservatives

Baroness Thatcher (R.I.P.) was not the ultra-conservative which so many think she was. To quote:

The conservative can all too easily drift into a morally bankrupt and intellectually shallow defense of those who have it made and those who are on the make if the tory is not there to remind him of what Edward Heath, in denouncing Margaret Thatcher, called ‘the ugly face of capitalism.’ (Read entire article.)
