Jeane Kirkpatrick - RIP

Just saw the main headline on Lucianne.com announcing that former U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick has passed away. She was a clear thinker and a clear speaker. She understood the threat of communism and brought the same clarity of thought to the current threat of Islamic-terrorism.

Though she was a lifelong Democrat, she was driven from that party by their positions on foreign affairs. She is most famous for coining the phrase "the Blame America First Crowd" to describe how how some U.S. politicians view things.

Rest in peace, Ambassador and thanks for your service to our country's security.
