Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was laid to rest today. Governor Palin, who has spoken often of her great respect for the Iron Lady, posted the following on Facebook this evening:
A friend sent me a recap of this mornings beautiful funeral service for Margaret Thatcher. How fitting that they read from Ephesians 6:10-18 imploring us to put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Certainly Margaret Thatcher wore such armor in her many battles.
It is so very sad that in this sensitive time of needing to show respect for humanity in general and for the good guys in particular our White House did not even send an official envoy to her funeral. Salt in the wound is learning that Senator Menendez, who was recently in the news because of allegations of corruption and even possibly a prostitution scandal, gutted the Senate Resolution honoring Mrs. Thatchers world changing achievements. So very sad. Not only is this an insult to our British allies, its an insult to women.
Margaret Thatcher admirably never styled herself as a woman leader. She regarded herself as simply a leader, and got the job done regardless of her sex. But the fact remains that she was the most important female leader of the 20th century and will be remembered as one of the most important leaders of all time. Where is the outrage from American feminists at the obvious official snub of this iconic woman who was one of our countrys most loyal allies? (I guess maybe the American sisterhood is too busy at the moment trying to enforce the media blackout of that Philadelphia mass-murderers trial for killing our youngest sisters in the womb.)
Margaret Thatcher was the epitome of everything feminists claim they support a self-made woman who rose to power on her own merits without the patronage of any man. Its time these liberal hypocrites showed her and women in general the same respect conservatives have all along. Its disgraceful that Americas politicians snubbed her achievements, as Mrs. Thatcher helped secure our own union while setting a mighty example for women around the world. Like all great leaders, she belongs to the ages now, and I trust that time will only burnish the Iron Ladys shining legacy when all these petty slights are long forgotten.
- Sarah Palin
I’m not a religious person per say, but I do find myself praying daily that Sarah Louise Palin does in fact become the next President of the United States.
Sarah is right once again.
Makes one wish that circumstances had brought these two strong women together.
Strap on that armor for the coming day in this new moral wilderness.
“... praying daily that Sarah Louise Palin does in fact become the next President of the United States”
Also a prayer of mine.
