Baroness Thatcher marked yesterday's occasion by having lunch at Green's Restaurant and Oyster Bar in London's exclusive St James's district with her son Mark and his wife.

Writing on Twitter, Mr Romney - the Republican challenger engaged in a close fight with Democrat Barack Obama for the White House in next month's election - said: ''The US is blessed with courageous friends.

''Happy birthday to the Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher - a tower of strength in the cause of liberty.''

Most worthy of the strongest reproach what the European Union (and its allies in the UK’s government) did to this woman. Goes to show that the EU (then calling itself the European Community) though itself to be the continent’s supreme authority even back then.

Sounds like you need a few more hours of sleep. You can crawl back into your hole now.

God bless Margaret Thatcher! She’s still an inspiration to many of us.

It is kind of amazing but not surprising that most of the true information that we get is from British news sources.

Ouch! The Founding Fathers just kicked me while spinning in their graves.

I guess for at least me, it is time to help restore their ideals and hopes for what they left us.

And she can't be a full member of yours because she has a brain.

Yes, she does look beautiful. In her memoirs, she wrote about how she carefully managed her wardrobe, even when she was a young candidate with limited means, so that she would always look her best and be appropriate.

I’m jealous of her magnificent white hair. Mine still has too much brown in it to be “Iron Lady”!

Gosh - you must be miserable having to keep your teeth so deeply set in the putrid mess you push as your agenda. I will give you one thing - you are persistent. Zero and his team appreciate your efforts and while you think just the opposite, Satan loves you. The Evil One loves all who call themselves principled Christians and then eschew the two greatest commandments by letting hate take over as the driving force in their lives.

I named my daughter Margaret. I’m very proud to say she was named after Margaret Thatcher. She too is proud to be named after such an inspirational leader.

A beautiful lady and one of the very best world leaders seen in the last half century. Two of my sons just came back from Argentina... seems they don't like the British much there and are putting a different name on maps for that place called the Falkland Islands. It's probably a same assumption that it's only a question of time before they try to take them again. One can only hope that present and future leaders will show Maggie's spine when that time comes....

If she wanted to become a Mormon [and I'm sure she doesn't,] she would, no doubt, accept that fact.
