Via Heritage:

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?

Oh, we've moved on considerably since leaders like Margatet Thatcher & President Reagan were in charge. We were all confident our country was in good hands. Our country was still respected in the world & we had a reputation for being a strong nation.

Now, we have more or less a socialist government that is steadly moving into the circling drain of an abyss. We're trillions of dollars in debt and climbing. Our leaders in the senate & the White House have a single thought & that's to screw over the American people as much as they can.

They consider words like respect, pride & dignity in our country as obsolete & dated. Paying respects to a great leader is foreign to them, unless of course it is someone like Hugo Chavez.

For the first time in my life, I'm actually ashamed of our leaders in Washinton.
