Senate Dems Blocking Resolution To Honor Margaret Thatcher

Senate Dems Blocking Resolution To Honor Margaret Thatcher

Senate Democrats are hesitating to honor the former prime minister of Great Britain who, along with President Reagan and Pope John Paul II, tackled communism.

This is particularly galling in light of the fact that 16 Republicans crossed the aisle to vote for cloture on the Democrats’ gun control bill, today.

Heritage Action reports:

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?
