It is now up to us, all the people of the US and UK, to collectively decide whether to continue down the path forged by these two giants.
I wish I weren't so worried as to what the final decision will be.

A woman of rare charm with a steel spine.
It was wonderful of her to be there, she was indispensable.
(Unlike hitlery's portrait someone had posted on here the other day.)

A fitting epitaph for the UN. But don't count on them dissolving it. The UN is the prototype for the planned world government. The "King of the World" (Antichrist) will rule through the UN.
It has been too long-- I have missed seeing you around.
As great as Reagan was, Maggie was his equal. We need not argue over superiors in this contest-- they needed and complimented each other.
In many ways she faced a harder battle than he did, over a nation that was not quite as powerful as America, a nation closer to the frontlines, a nation having a terrorist problem we would not face to the same degree for years, with a public that was by inclination further to the left than our own over here.
Her eulogy was beyond perfect.
Strangely, I expected nothing less of her.
Am I missing something? Aren't GW Bush and Tony Blair doing the same thing?
God was with her as well. The very second she bade Reagan farewell and turned to walk away was the very second the sun finally slipped behind the mountain top to the west.
I think they are, on the international level. But it is not quite the same for a few reasons. Neither Bush nor Blair have domestic policy down correctly the way Thatcher and Blair did-- although Bush is closer. Neither Bush nor Blair have their rhetorical skills down-- although Blair is much closer.
She has more character in her little finger than most politicians have in their entire bodies.
"Ronald Reagan wrote a brief letter to Margaret Thatcher. "
Would anyone here know if that letter is online somewhere?
See http://www.rightsided.org for the note and more.
Hear Hear!
You nailed it with that post.
Here is the text of that letter:
Dear Mrs Thatcher: April 30
I've chosen a dark day to write a belated thank you for being so generous with your time on the occasion of your recent visit. The news has just arrived of Saigan's surrendor and somehow the shadow seems to have lengthened.
You were very kind and I am grateful. I hope you'll find it possible to accept your Calif. speaking invitations. If you can, Mrs. Reagan and I would like very much to return your hospitality. In the meantime, please know you have an enthusiastic supporter out here in the "colonies."
Again thanks and best regards.
Ronald Reagan
"colonies". Reagan humor once more.
