She's standing right there, but you don't see her.

[onyx]

We see her.

The media is so corrupt, anyone of that caliber that is on the platform will be demonized and castigated and run down until the communists win again.

The leftists intend to destroy this nation, and will stop at nothing.

[Hardraade]

America has two choices.

Palin, or a holocaust.

In Republican circles there’s great nostalgia for Ronald Reagan. Thatcher is seen as sort of Reagan’s sidekick, an ally in promoting democratic capitalism and taking a firm stance against Soviet expansionism. Not to diminish Reagan, who transformed American politics in ways that reverberate today, Thatcher actually had the tougher task.

Sometimes it's as if the Soviet Union never existed, much less that we woke up everyday not knowing that we would live through the day. Reagan earned his place as the man in history who ended the deadliest war in history and has so far allowed an entire generation to live without the threat of total Global ThermoNuclear Annihilation, and I'm hoping that it will stretch into two generations.

Reagan was one of the greatest war time leaders in history.

When conservatives have finally united, there will be a real conservative leader to come forward.

We have three of us who see her.

Very well said. I worked for him and I miss him as much as my late father. Another great man was General Haig, who has been smeared for an unclear comment he made, and also Director Casey, who helped President Reagan defeat the Soviets.

Ever hear of Sarah Palin...

[ScaniaBoy]

"The media is so corrupt, anyone of that caliber that is on the platform will be demonized and castigated and run down"

And do you seriously think that Thatcher wasn't ... and isn't still as we 'speak'?

[Jerrybob]

America HAS its own Margaret Thatcher — his name is Bill Whittle: a mix of Ronald Reagan and John Wayne.

[ScottinVA]

America has plenty of its own Thatchers but won’t elect them. We’re not that kind of country anymore.

[DaveA37]

“America Needs Its Own Thatcher”.

BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hardraade]

Oh please.

You have to muster more than an ejector seat or a virtual gimmick.

One pajamablogger does not a President make.
