"We here still move in twilight. But we have one beacon to guide us that Ronald Reagan never had. We have his example. Let us give thanks today for a life that achieved so much for all of God's children."

as best I can recall it from today's Hugh Hewitt Show, here is the only comment
that Peter Jennings and Sam Donaldson could drum up over Lady Thatcher's eulogy:

"Americans will think it was stuffy."
--Sam Donaldson

I do seriously wonder what the color of the moons are on the home planet of most jouralists.

Truly, one of the most moving parts of a fitting ceremony for one of our greatest leaders. Thank you, Iron Lady!

[CrazyIvan]

Mrs. Thatchers speech would have made Churchill proud.

Thanks for posting it. Beautiful.

Lady Thatcher has always been great in my eyes. Like PM Tony Blair, she never wavered and always said what she meant and MEANT what she said! One of England's great leaders!

And as the last journey of this faithful pilgrim took him beyond the sunset, and as heaven's morning broke, I like to think - in the words of Bunyan - that `all the trumpets sounded on the other side'.

"Nothing was more typical of Ronald Reagan than that large-hearted magnanimity - and nothing was more American."

There are so very many great lines from this eulogy, but this was my favorite.

When you think of the way many Europeans, and sometimes even many Brits look down their nose at Americans, this line was pure class. Thank you, Lady Thatcher!

It was a lovely, moving testimony. I wish I could find video of her curseying as she passed his casket. What a classy lady. What a great friend and ally.

"Yes, he warned that the Soviet Union had an insatiable drive for military power and territorial expansion; but he also sensed it was being eaten away by systemic failures impossible to reform.

Yes, he did not shrink from denouncing Moscow's `evil empire'. But he realised that a man of goodwill might nonetheless emerge from within its dark corridors.

So the President resisted Soviet expansion and pressed down on Soviet weakness at every point until the day came when communism began to collapse beneath the combined weight of these pressures and its own failures. And when a man of goodwill did emerge from the ruins, President Reagan stepped forward to shake his hand and to offer sincere cooperation.

Nothing was more typical of Ronald Reagan than that large-hearted magnanimity - and nothing was more American."

A great speech from that other great leader of the eighties Margaret Thatcher, a true friend of the United States.

[Ruth A.]

She made a sob rise in my throat with her simple first line. She did a wonderful job. Once again, RWR's judgment is proven correct. Thank you, Ladt Thacher.

[Beth]

Thank you, Lady Thatcher, a true friend.

[JasonC]

The lady is most gracious.

[lainde]

Glorious Lady!

[dano1]

I thought her talk was one of the best I've ever heard, one for the history books.

[lvrofbrnrds]

But we have one beacon to guide us that Ronald Reagan never had. We have his example.

This is by far one of the greatest compliments given to anyone!
