Debate Over Thatcher Funeral?

82 year old former PM Baroness Thatcher shows no signs of packing it in anytime soon, but the left is actually debating that she does not deserve a state funeral. Well, I guess since Communism’s collapse they need to be for something.

The woman who was the leader of Britain’s resurgence as a world power should be honored – both in the UK and here. If the Brits totally lose their minds and refuse Baroness Thatcher this last honor, our nation should offer.

When almost every nation of the world (along with our own left-wing) was calling for the US to unilaterally disarm, who stood beside Ronald Reagan and said NO? Who showed the world that a modern, industrialized, socialist country could rebound by cutting taxes, balancing the budget, privatizing pensions and providing real education reform?

Like Reagan, Baroness Thatcher showed the world what leadership and principle mean.
