Rush Limbaugh on Margaret Thatcher (Great Story!)

She commanded me never to ever, ever let the history of the fall of the Soviet Union being rewritten. "Don't ever let anybody believe that Mikhail Gorbachev made it happen. Don't ever believe." She said. "If you have to go beyond Reagan, throw me and the Pope in there, but if it weren't for Reagan, and if it weren't for morality and if it weren't for faith in God, and if it weren't for American might, and if it weren't for the willingness to use it, and if it weren't for SDI, there would still be a Soviet Union. If it hadn't been for people who were willing to face the consequences of beating them and realizing they could be beaten."

I pray that we all live long enough to have another president as great as Ronald Reagan and a friendly leader as great as the "Iron Lady", Margaret Thatcher.

Margaret Thatcher has always been one of my favorite people. She showed great judgment and courage in standing together with President Reagan.

The Brits are greatly diminished because she is no longer in their leadership.

[OldFriend]

Wowweee......six years ago Rush drove Lady Thatcher around a golf course in a golf cart.

The beginning of an everlasting friendship....NOT!

[OldFriend]

The Brits threw out Churchill and they threw out Thatcher. Blair has done the right thing despite the wimpy brits.

[Indy Pendance]

Excellent article. Thanks for posting it.

I understand she's a Baroness, but I will always refer to this wonderful, remarkable woman as Lady Thatcher...or Maggie.

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

I believe that one may address her as The Baroness Thatcher or Lady Thatcher. Either is okay.

[John Lenin]

I don't think I've ever looked up to a woman as much as I do Margaret Thatcher.

[chuckles]

If the Constitution would allow a foreign born to become president, she could have been the first women president.

Does anybody really believe Hillary or Pelosi, or some such would have a chance in the "red" states? The first women president will be a Republican, and I see no one on the horizon with the stature of Lady Thatcher.

Course, with the Dem's choices these days, we could end up with Hanoi Jane as Vice president.

[George Smiley]

I see no one on the horizon with the stature of Lady Thatcher.

Well, duh!

People like Churchill, Thatcher, Reagan don't exactly grow on trees.

I see someone whose stature is growing. Condoleeza Rice.

[freemama]

Amen.

[Fun Bob]

Wonderful. Thank you for posting this.

Lady Thatcher is a remarkable woman. It makes me so proud to hear her devotion to President Reagan...If devotion isn't too strong of a word. Few know better than her the role he played in the world and in history. She certainly justifies and even amplifies the feelings we have for him, despite what his critics would say.

[beaversmom]

Condi Rice has got more class and intelligence in her toe nail than Hillary could even dream about.

[XJarhead]

The first women president will be a Republican, and I see no one on the horizon with the stature of Lady Thatcher.

To tell you the truth, I don't see any Republican men with her stature either. Wish she would have been one of ours.

[Free Vulcan]

It should be a command for us all to take to heart.

[Straight Vermonter]

If I recall correctly, the Brits didn't throw her out. John Major from the same partywas her successor. He was later ousted but not her.

[JDoutrider]

Her presence is gratefully appreciated.

In my heart I know (if I may be permitted) Ron, is just beaming with pride that such a great friend as "Maggie" has honored his passing with her presence...

[MEG33]

The article talks about Lady Thatcher's crediting President Reagan for the fall of the Soviets...The thread is about the esteem we hold for her.

[MadIvan]

Lady Thatcher is still the best of us...I get frustrated because the leadership in the country is just not nearly as strong as she was. Blair has been good on the most important issue of the day, but he's not got the clarity and vigour of Our Maggie.

Regards, Ivan

Lady Thatcher is one of a kind and came to lead your country, aid our country and the world at the best possible time.

I am old enough to recall all that went before and am eternally grateful to our two great leaders' strong stand against the evil empire.

Tony Blair is leading a party that is not of my political beliefs and yet he came through even though it hurt him politically...I admire his courage in supporting the war to liberate Iraq.
