“She Was Magnificent” – How Mrs Thatcher Hit the Ground Running in 1979
Conservatives4Palin ^ | 31/12/09 | The Aged P

It didn’t matter if you were a government minister, an international ally or the leader of an enemy power - if she thought you were not up to the task she nailed your hide to the wall and spelled out precisely how she wanted things done. Her negotiating style was simple and easily understood - no holds barred until she got what she perceived as that which was best for Britain’s interests. She lifted Britain up from it’s knees, re-inserted the backbone and dealt ruthlessly with anyone from within or without who meant her country harm.

We were astonished – no British politician had acted like that for decades.

She was the great lady of the Cold War, a wonderful leader in the lineage of Churchill, and stands today a great role model of the past for Sarah Palin to emulate.

Yes, we do. I do not believe there is another politician with her kind of guts and backbone along with so much love for this country that would slash and burn everything that is wrong in DC right now.

She was one in a million. What God wrought when He gave us Thatcher and Reagan at the same moment in time. How quickly and far we have fallen from the glorious vision of freedom granted us by these extraordinary leaders.

I don’t know who the next (truly) great leader will be. We know a false world leader is coming, but we also know that shortly after, the greatest leader of all time will destroy him and will reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. What a glorious time THAT will be. May we be faithful to Him and “be about His business” in the meantime. Nothing will compare to the blessing and glory that is coming.

And the Pope. Eastern Europe followed Poland in revolt against the USSR, and Poland had its eye on the Pope. His gave a great speech focusing on "Be not afraid" which had an electric effect.

Three great leaders, all at once. A wonderful thing.

Yes. What a time. Something much better is on its way - but not before the “man of sin” is revealed - then our wonderful Jesus will rule forever.

Not to mention Pope John Paul II.
