Sarah Palin Responds To Reports About UK / Margaret Thatcher Trip
Citizen Palin 4 President ^ | Sarah Palin

Posted on 06/14/2010 12:05:57 PM PDT by MaxCUA

Following an article in a British publication on Sunday, I’ve received questions about a possible trip to the United Kingdom. I have received an invitation for a visit to London, and part of that invitation included the offer of arranging a meeting between myself and one of my political heroines, the “Iron Lady,” Margaret Thatcher. I would love to meet her and hope I’ll be able to arrange the trip in the future.

As I wrote last year when I offered her birthday wishes, Baroness Thatcher’s life and career serve as a blueprint for overcoming the odds and challenging the “status quo.” She started life as a grocer’s daughter from Grantham and rose to become Prime Minister – all by her own merit and hard work. I cherish her example and will always count her as one of my role models. Her friendship with my other political hero, Ronald Reagan, exemplified the Special Relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom.

One piece of advice I have always believed true is: act as you want to be.

If you want to be a business professional, act professionally.

If you want to be an intellectual, act intellectually.

If you want to be President, act Presidential.

What a great idea this is.

Palin reinforcing our relationship with the UK exactly while Obama destroys it.

Connecting with a conservative icon

It would be the antidote to Obama’s fawning, sickening campaign speech in Germany in 2008.

Sound advice for anyone, which it seems no one ever gave to Obama or (more likely) he was/is too “far above the common rabble” to have taken. That attitude from such an illegitimate (papa was a rolling stone, wherever he laid his **** was his home) fraud is especially hard to take.

I really want this to happen. The Iron Lady befriending Sarah Palin is the best news I’ve heard in quite a while.

The UK and the USA are very special friends indeed, in fact UK, let our home be your home, come in, kick your shows off, give money to the Obama administration, dump oil all over the Gulf of Mexico, whatever you want to do. Mi casa es su casa.

Will her visit include giving Lady Thatcher an IPOD with all Sarah’s speeches?
Also maybe Sarah can retrieve the bust of Sir Winston, although the bust she has is good in my eyes.

How is Lady Thatcher doing these days?

IIRC, last time I saw her on the news, she was having issues - either Parkinsons or early stage Alzheimers - I can’t recall the specifics.

She had a series of strokes and lost some memory...glad that Sarah was invited so the MSM can’t say that she was forcing her way to Margaret Thatcher

Someone tell pissant that “heroine” is an actual word as well, and correctly used by Gov. Palin.

According to Mirriam Webster, the word “heroine” is found in the English language as far back as 1609.

So you can sneer dismissively at the word as fem-speak, but as Ronald Reagan said “Facts are stubborn things”
