Margaret Thatcher, the former British prime minister, has died. She was 87.

A Great Lady. RIP.

Yes, indeed.

But to think communism is dead is ludicrous. Look around you.

RIP Lioness, job well done. Ronnie and John Paul are happy no doubt to see you, dang this fuzzy screen.

I believe in a bit of serendipity, I am hoping Pope Francis is the heralding of a new triumvirate of leaders, ergo Reagan-Thatcher-John Paul part du.

Lord knows we need leaders seeped in Hayek and The Founders, not Alinski and Cloward and Piven....

Watch the lame stream media contort themselves like pretzels to avoid pictures of her with Reagan or any mention of the good this amazing couple accomplished.
Any mention or pics of Reagan serve to remind people of what a real leader looks like. Can’t have their idol and wuss-in-chief looking bad by comparison...

[Daffynition]

Between Thatcher and Reagan, the shoes they left can not/will not be filled.

It is up to us to see that their place in history is revered and recorded fairly and justly..

God blessed us with Margaret Thatcher. What a great leader she was. My condolences to her family. Thank you for your service Iron Lady. There will never be another just like you or President Reagan.

The Great Trio that brought about the end of communism are now re-united.

End of communism? Hardly. They control entertainment, the schools, the media, the government.

G-d is calling all the greats home before we spiral into the pit for the last time. Give our regards to President Reagan, Madame Thatcher.

The world has lost one of it’s brightest beacons for freedom. May she rest in peace and the world take a lesson from her life.

Here it goes:

An the picture which would make liberals' head explode: Ronnie and the Flag

[Venturer]

I put her on a par with Golda Meir.

Great women.

I hear you. I probably should have said “The downfall of the USSR, or something like that. I realized that after I posted.

[left that other site]

I should have said “The Downfall of the USSR.” I was trying to say something nice about Mrs. Thatcher, and it came out wrong.

[ConservativeDude]

Truly the end of an era.

RIP Margaret Thatcher. I appreciate your dedication to liberty and capitalism.

For my FRiends, here is one small example of her greatness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnOGaQX04Cs

“You would rather the poor were poorer, so long as the rich were less rich!”

[who knows what evil?]

I hear you.

...but we certainly agree that Maggie Thatcher's passing is a great loss to conservatives all over the world. It is difficult to look at these photos of President Reagan and Mrs. Thatcher...better days.; the likes of which we will never see again.

“The Great Trio that brought about the end of communism are now re-united.”

Please refresh my memory. Who was the third? I know RR and Thatcher, but am struggling for the third.....

;-(

AVE’ The Iron Lady of the Falklands!

(slow salute!)

[Busko]

The last of the true leaders of the free world. May God rest her soul. There will never be another era like the 80’s. Reagan, Thatcher and Pope John.

On Drudge there are lots of tributes from world leaders. Not a peep from Mr. Asshole Idiot as far as I can tell.

I have a signed copy of Margaret Thatcher's "The Downing Street Years." The only book signing event I've ever gone to. It was in NYC and the line was enormous.

When I finally got to her table, she very carefully signed her name on the title page (no illegible scrawl, but a perfectly executed signature) slid the book towards me, looked up and said in that great Maggie voice, "Thank you, very much!"

"No, thank you. For everything." was my response.

She nodded, acknowledging that I was talking about more than the signature.
