**A Post From Patricia**
What ARE they afraid of? I cannot believe they will not honor the Great Woman – the first female Prime Minister. Where’s all that equality and fairness NOW.
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.
After the Demrats booed God and Jerusalem at their circus/convention, I don’t expect too much from them. Still, this is pretty low.
Why are they afraid of a strong woman who fought Communists? Because they ARE exactly that, ‘communists’!
Isn’t it interesting that only *some* women are of interest to feminists.
They smashed out the bottom of the barrel. It wasn’t low enough for them.

Listening to Lady Thatcher is as refreshing as listening to Reagan.
The very fact that democrats are afraid to honor her is, itself, an honor,I think
[…] Democrats are Blocking Resolution to Honor Lady Thatcher (tammybruce.com) […]
The success and effectiveness of a great leader can be measured by the juvenile reaction of the Democrat Party.
What do you expect for they are Democrats (Domineering, Delusional, Decrepit, Deceitful, etc. etc.).
Patricia, you nailed it. The left IS petty and shameful. Also, why would they want to honor a woman who stood against the very things they believe in, like individual freedom and limited government. I’m hopeful the resolution will eventually pass, but the liberals had to make an a$$ of themselves first.
A word of caution on this story: It’s all traceable back to a supposed quote from one person — Katherine Rosario. I am not familiar with her and this story doesn’t seem to be being picked up by any of the larger conservative news outlets, even FOX News Channel. I’m taking it with a healthy dose of skepticism right now until I see more reporting on it.
And in an Orwellian story of honoring someone. At George Orwell’s birthplace in India, officials will build a memorial to Gandhi.

And in more honoring news, the Queen of England will bestow Knight upon Richard Lugar. Interestingly, the article says that Lugar ‘gave up the Senate’. Really?
“Former Sen. Richard Lugar gave up the Senate last year but gains a knighthood on Tuesday. British Ambassador Peter Westmacott will preside at a private ceremony bestowing the honorary title Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.
Since Lugar hails from Indiana, not Britain (although he studied at Oxford), he cannot use the honorific “sir.””
