Our condolences to our British friends here. I remember her well from those days, and thought she handled everything in the best interests of all. RIP, she will be missed.

I heard about this at lunchtime. She was a controversial figure but never a dull one. RIP The Iron Lady.

Democrats are Blocking Resolution to Honor Lady Thatcher

One would naturally think it impossible that anyone would hesitate – even for an instant – to honor the woman who tackled communism head on as prime minister of Great Britain. Lady Margaret Thatcher was a principled politician who helped to foster the special relationship between Great Britain and the United States that we all benefit from today.

A Senate resolution to honor Lady Thatcher was supposed to pass last night. However, per well placed sources on the Hill, Democrats have a hold on the resolution.

To refuse to honor a woman of such great historical and political significance, who was deeply loyal to the United States, is petty and shameful. One truly has to wonder, what is it about Lady Thatcher that gives them pause? Her unfaltering commitment to freedom? Or perhaps the way she fought for individual liberty and limited government?

The House used traditional bereavement procedures, the same model they used for John F. Kennedy. It’s a simple, solemn means of honoring the individual by passing a resolution and immediately adjourning. Similarly, Great Britain’s House of Commons was recalled, bringing members of Parliament back from vacation to honor Lady Thatcher.

Those actions were a fitting response to the death of one of the world’s greatest post-World War II leaders.

The population of the United Kingdom is greatly divided over the honouring of Margaret Thatcher, for many various reasons.

I suspect that the exact same thing will happen with the future demise of George W. Bush, for many similar various reasons.

Paul...not really into; "Politics"... ...!
