I’d guess that she and Ronnie are sharing old times with an eye to the sad state of the earth as people drifted away from the principles she and Ronnie tried to emphasize as empowering individual life.

God take her.

It is interesting to consider where England might be now if she hadn’t been PM back then.

She was a great patriot and leader. I hope she’s having a wonderful reunion with Ronaldus Magnus and Pope John Paul II, her fellow lions.

I mark today, with remorse, for the passing of the Iron Lady.

Reagan, Thatcher, and John Paul II. We shall not see their like again in our lifetimes.

Amen to that, Old Sarge. God bless them all, and may they Rest in Peace...

“Reagan, Thatcher, and John Paul II. We shall not see their like again in our lifetimes.”

But wouldn’t you love to sit in on some of the conversations they are going to have?

I’m going outside to lower my flag to half staff. Lady Thatcher was more of an “American” than any of the leaders we have today in our country. God rest her soul.

...meanwhile the American media mocks the great ones and urges the nation to strive for mediocrity.

Lech Walesa still lives...another great friend of President Reagan. Conservative Americans will miss you terribly, Mrs. Thatcher.
