The far left Palin-hating cranks at The Guardian reported this week that aides to Margaret Thatcher told them, “Lady Thatcher will not be seeing Sarah Palin… That would be belittling for Margaret – Sarah Palin is nuts.”

We all knew this did not sound like something Lady Thatcher would say.
It looks like we were right.

Margaret Thatcher being used to smear Sarah Palin?

As a strong conservative American with family origins in Britain this simply does not seem right. In a week that Obama sides with Argentina and calls the Falklands the “Malvinas”, comments attributed to Lady Thatcher’s staff are being used to discredit a leader of American conservatism.

Further, the remarks are an insult to me and to other Sarah Palin backers. I am a 60 year old with advanced degrees in medicine and business who has started businesses and been the CEO of two of them. Is Lady Thatcher’s position that I am unable to judge the sanity of those I support?

I urge Lady Thatcher, who is a real hero to many Americans, to re-evaluate this alleged derogation of Sarah Palin, and if possible to meet with her directly to strengthen the cross Atlantic ties of freedom loving Brits and Americans.

Respectfully yours,

On Tuesday, the Washington Post had an article, “Democrats try to woo women as more embrace GOP candidates,” that further confirms that this is the year of the conservative woman and that “Mama Grizzlies,” like those featured in Fire from the Heartland, are leading the way.

One Democrat strategist in the article says, “They do not think the administration’s economic policies are working for their families, and worry about the priorities of this administration, and wonder if they get it.”

That is a sentiment we’ve heard repeatedly from women at Tea Party rallies across the country and is echoed in Fire from the Heartland when cast member Michelle Moore says, “We are going to take a leading role because we are done – our children’s future is at stake.”

It is then expanded upon when Michelle Malkin says, “There is a sisterhood of Tea Party moms and activists who all share a common core steel-spined commitment to looking after their families.”

And further confirmed when Dana Loesch says, “Women realized that their involvement with politics was part of motherhood, their involvement in the national discourse about where our country was heading is about motherhood because we’re raising the next generation.” (more…)

Greatest, Lost, Boomer, X, Next … names our society has conjured to describe particular generations.  But what of the unborn future generations already burdened with the crushing financial tab of reckless government spending and redistribution of wealth?

Indulge me for suggesting a moniker for these unborn:  the Ponzi Generation.

Right now we are witnessing America’s ongoing conversion into a socialist society.  Depending on the vote tomorrow in Congress, America risks modeling the disastrous behavior of EU nations currently wallowing in economic and social bankruptcy. (more…)

Return with us now to those glorious days of yesteryear, when honest reporters were just starting to turn into “journalists,” and CBS’s 60 Minutes was the top-rated program in the nation for a reason: it played fair.

Exhibit A is this remarkable piece that Morley Safer did in the mid-late 1980s about “The Loony Left” in Britain — a chilling and prescient look at how the hard left was busily injecting political divisiveness into the minds of young children all over the country, hollowing out British culture and institutions in the name of “anti-racism,” and turning Britain into the sad, dilapidated, disunited and likely doomed Orwellian society it has become today.  Perhaps there won’t, after all, “always be an England.”

It’s a classic example of leftist tactics, and in retrospect turned out to be a last warning of the fate that was soon about to overtake a country that had been waging a low-level civil war between Fabian Socialists and free-market capitalists since the days of H.G. Wells and George Bernard Shaw — a losing battle only briefly won by Margaret Thatcher, and now likely lost for at least another generation as Shaw’s famous “Fabian Window” is at last out and proud: (more…)
