Margaret Thatcher’s elevation to Prime Minister in 1979 was the first sign, for me, of hope during a most depressing time. The press here in America had not so much as mentioned her name before he election to high office, which only made it seem more sudden and shocking when she began to be heard publicly, a down-the-line conservative who made no apologies and took no grief from anyone.
Let this story be the same sort of harbinger for us, 31 years later.
My hubby is a Brit.....and a lib. He blames EVERYTHING on Thatcher.....just like you hear ‘Bush bashing’. I just grin....’cause I know better. ;-)
Good luck with that Steely Tom. I hope it comes to pass.
I remember my excitement when Maggie was first elected - led to my excitement and work for Reagan in 1980.
Ahhhh yes. I do miss "The Iron Lady."
What a time that was. Thatcher, then Reagan, the culmination of a never-before-seen (in many years) nation-wide prolonged corporate intercessory prayer in many churches for this country and the world. God answered those prayers with this really pretty miraculous time with people like Jeanne Kirkpatrick in the U.N. also.
I hope our prayers now can avail like that now, but with an added end of abortion-infanticide.
“The press here in America had not so much as mentioned her name [Thatcher] before he election to high office...”
Shocking! /massive sarc
