Jeanne Kirkpatrick…You are already missed.

Is there anyone left that has the courage to oppose true evil, face to face? Thatcher, Kirkpatrick, Reagan. Will we ever see such Americans again?

Jeanne Kirkpatrick, RIP…

The former UN ambassador who spoke against the blame-America mentality constant at the UN has passed away (H/T: Michelle Malkin and The Corner)….

A brilliant patriot. I was so impressed with her intellect. A absolute pleasure to listen to her speak. Literate, well spoken, tenacious. And never a wasted word.

She was a giant and will be remembered long after the current crop of political hacks and pretenders in congress and in other branches of our government.

America’s “Iron Lady”. I wish I could have cast my vote for her for President.

So, will there be fawning tributes from the Today Show ala Ann Richards?

No.

No because she’s was an articulate, intelligent Republican woman.

And Two, she used to be a Democrat.

RIP.

[...] From ALLAHPUNDIT: America’s first woman ambassador to the UN, who, on September 12, 2001, called for a formal declaration of war against “the entire fundamentalist Islamic terrorist network.” Emphasis hers. She’ll be remembered for something else, though. A few years before she gave that speech, she was a Democrat; a year later, she was a Republican. Read it and bear it in mind today as the national and international leaders of the blame-America-first crowd renew relations in Portugal. Update: Says DU, “The devil called her home.” [...]

Back in 1981, I was a Marine Guard in Pakistan. Our detachement had the duty to secure and guard her floor in her hotel. I had the opportunity to meet and speak with her on a few occasions…She impressed me as being as tough as bag of hornets…

Forthright courage and uncompromising clarity.

Gone. But her memory lives on.

I look around and see…desolation.

Reaganesque.

No qualifications, no reservations.

A woman of vision, who was competent to declare to others the truths she saw so clearly.

RIP

Sad news, she was one of the great ones..
she spoke out and people listened. She would have made a great president of the USA.

You know, my dad used to talk about her when I was a kid. It’s the first time I ever heard him say he’d vote for a woman for POTUS. That’s how I came to know who she was. When MY dad says that…the woman’s GOTTA be impressive.

Much much love and admiration,

She had great polemical skill, which ought not to have been wasted in such a useless forum as the UN.

How befitting that this great lady died during this time:

- the world is at another threshhold
- the world is in need of great leaders, none on the horizon
- communism/socialism creeping back in South America
- terrorism all over
- blame America, not first but always and by all around the world
- the blame-America San Francisco Democrats taking over
- no spine and no cojones anywhere in site
- …and we have the DU crowd – to name them in the same thread with this giant is to make fools feel indignant

GT on December 8, 2006 at 11:51 AM – you summed it up to perfection.

Mr. Lieberman said it best.

To the consternation of the U.N. (and what it doesn’t represent when it should) and my absolute delight, it’s Mr. Bolton who called for a silent moment for this grand lady!

Our world and we were blessed to have had Jeane Kirkpatrick.

Read it and bear it in mind today as the national and international leaders of the blame-America-first crowd renew relations in Portugal. — AP

…and exactly where is it that Howie Dean (“Dr. Howard, Dr. Dean, Dr. Fine…calling Dr. Howard, Dr. Dean, Dr. Fine….”) delivering his rousing collection of mushy platitudes?

European leftist leaders, gathered at a conference of the Party of European Socialists, have taken heart from the Democrats’ victory in last month’s U.S. Congressional elections.

…you can tell people by their friends. Speaking to the “Party of European Socialists” is the head of the Party of American Socialists…priceless….

…at one time, we had Maggie Thatcher and Jeane Kirkpatrick stalking the Earth. Giants.

What do we have today? Nancy Pelosi and The Dragon Lady. Oh, for the days of giants.

She was irreplacable. I’m sure that she’s gone now because the Lord was hankering after some intelligent conversation.

She’ll be missed.

Bill the Cat and Jeanne had a wild and passionate affair that resulted in them being banned from the Russian Tea Room as I remember…

That scandalous episode aside, she will be missed.

I hope Miss Rice had the opportunity to counsel with her at least once. We need less Department and more State at the State Department.
