Remarks by Baroness Margaret Thatcher in Eulogy at the Funeral of Former President Reagan |
2004-06-11 |
EFL. Go read it all.In his lifetime Ronald Reagan was such a cheerful and invigorating presence that it was easy to forget what daunting historic tasks he set himself. He sought to mend America’s wounded spirit, to restore the strength of the free world, and to free the slaves of communism.She got it absolutely right: Ronald Reagan, the Great Liberator. |

#5 Baroness Margaret Thatcher and President Ronald Reagan were the team of two which defeated an evil empire leftists overtly assisted during the late 1940's, all of the 1950's 1960's and through the 70's & 80's by their inaction. The 'liberal' Left ('progressives', buzz word for communists) hate the fact the USSR and Soviet Bloc could not counter the conservative duel of Lady Thatcher & President Regan's persistence to set millions free from Soviet 'socialism's iron claw of death. Note how much liberalism has suffered this week alone with the majority of the American people rallying to give tribute to President Reagan, and Ronald Reagan the actor, with over 53 movies to his credit, coupled with scores of TV & radio shows. The public as spoken for the Great Liberator! |

#4 This was one of the most truly awesome speeches and tributes that I've heard in my life. God bless you Dame Thatcher and God bless "the special relationship!" |

#2 "And so today the world - in Prague, in Budapest, in Warsaw, in Sofia, in Bucharest, in Kiev and in Moscow itself - the world mourns the passing of the Great Liberator and echoes his prayer 'God Bless America'." I love the Iron Lady. |

#1 Moving and powerful, but not as much as Bush's. I wonder if this was written for her, or if she did it herself ahead of time (not for any particular reason other than curiosity; it was very well-done). |
