She’s a globalist and a wimpy conservative (whatever the Brit equivalent of RINO would be called), but she has the good sense to align herself with Trump. Maybe she sees him as coattails she can ride to a Thatcher-like status that she doesn’t really deserve. But any politician who is willing to follow along with President Trump’s wishes is OK by me. We need steadfast allies and there’s not much quality to choose from among politicians.

As popsfromvienna notes, I don’t trust her either, not by a wide margin.
As per her delivery, in a superior-English speaking, proper upper-crust British eloquence, she excels. She has that in her favor, as it wows our more rustic-by-comparison (American legislators) consumers of information.
But there is much about her comments for which we may fault her.
She seems oblivious to the core mission of the UN — reform or otherwise (unless she specifically states its original global aspirations for power: International Socialism — and denounces them.) This she did not do.
Others here will drill down to various thorns in her speech — thorns from our perspective.
But I will tell you this: she has the tongue of a Churchill — (great speech writers?).
And with that she may use this tongue to our aid or to our detriment.
Certainly, any note of conciliation with the globalist agenda to which she may cling will have been clearly understood by her listeners.

I was born and raised in the greater London area. I left when I was twenty years old. It was the most intelligent thing that I ever did. Today the TV stations broadcast propaganda in every single one of their programs. The BBC airs a TV comedy show called “Citizen Khan” which is about a Pakistani muslim family living in the city of Birmingham.
The comedy was obviously designed to make muslims look like normal everyday people who fit right in to the British way of life. If muslims actually did truly fit in then there would never have been a need to ban all freedom of speech regarding them or their savage medieval theocracy.
Sadly, one can and will be arrested in the UK for any comment deemed derogatory toward muslims or anything associated with Islam. Mrs. May is nothing but an imbecilic puppet. Google her and read about this shallow woman who likes fashion and all kinds of fluffy nonsense. It will make you sick to see who and what she really is.

Wow. Thoughts going through my head was “globalist”, but she is also agrees with the Enlightenment theory that gave way to bloodshed and slaughter in the late 1700’s. It was the rise of the “Elite”, those who thought they were the intellectuals, and then there was the peasants. They rid themselves of their religion by murdering priest, nuns, monks and other religions save one: the Lady of Reason– thinking that was higher than God. They chose to stand tall to be “free” to be atheists.
Sounds very similar to where we stand today.

And you are correct, LP! For others, and for the umpteenth time, Donald Trump is NOT an iconoclast, but rather a REFORMER. My guess is that he even harbors a secret love for the ‘swamp’ he seeks to ‘drain.’ His desire, I’d imagine, would be to make it a nice, beautiful lake, like it once was. And no he doesn’t hate the UN or NATO; he just hates what they’ve become. No he doesn’t hate global trade— he’s a globalist in the best sense, but only provided it favors America, and redounds to the benefit of both labor and mogul alike.
What’s notable about Trump is that he’s willing to practice tough love where he feels he has leverage to do so—and, possibly, temporary isolationism may result from this. But isolationist, anti-UN, anti-NATO, anti-trade? He’d never cop a plea to that! But yes! US sovereignty, security, and solvency ABOVE ALL ELSE, EVEN AT THE COST OF ISOLATIONISM IF NEED BE!
That’s why America will be great again under his leadership.
Don’t discount May. She’s a talent.

I posted this in the Presidential thread, but it really should be in this thread:
BreitBart is being way to harsh about Prime Minster Theresa May’s speech and selecting 3 things they and some of us don’t like and dismissing everything else!
This was an excellent speech on the whole – she is clearly moving toward the Trump agenda. She said a number of things that I have never heard her say before. It is an improvement to say the least.
It was a 35 minute speech and they are focusing on about 1-2 minutes to rubbish it.
She has some way to go – and she needs a bit of educating by President Trump with regard to the religion of peace nonsense. BUT she actually referred to Radical Islam a number of times. I don’t think she has ever said that before ?
Point is – this speech as Gateway Pundit rightly promotes, is historic with regard to the renewing of the special relationship. It also shows she is moving in the right direction. President Trump has put the olive branch out and she is grabbing it. Again, some way to go, to say the least and she may never get there, but nonetheless, this speech should be welcomed and is clearly a step in the right direction on the most part.
If anyone can get May to see sense on some of these differences, then President Trump can. He is the master negotiator and educator. If anyone can get Prime Minister May to continue down the right path, then it is President Trump.
The speech generally got the thumbs up from Nigel Farage from what I hear. Because he knows, what it meant, not only historically speaking, but also the direction of travel.
If the chemistry between the two works and they can build the relationship, then this will be great news for Britain and the USA.
I am sure it will be rocky at times, especially at the start, but I think we should wish them both the very best. If President Trump can get Prime Minster May to come along for the ride, it could indeed have the makings of a very special relationship.
To BreitBart – I say chill your heels Kassam, and see some of the positive!

I will agree with Dekester and others who are turned off by May.
Don’t get fooled by eloquent speeches (Review Obama 2004 DNC). Observable behavior is all that matters. May offers no clear strategic objectives and actions to obtain them. I’ve reviewed another recent talk and she says all the right things but there’s no weight behind them. If she was for real, her message would be, “Brexit will happen, and it will happen now, with no more delay!” Her behavior communicates she’s pro EU (like Nigel said she was). May is great at speeches. Trump is clumsy in speeches. Elite vs. Street. Words vs. Action.
Intuition says she’s a drone sent by the globalists made to pose as a moderate conservative. She feels fake.
Spider sense is tingling.

Exactly my thinking, Torch! The naysayers disappoint me bigly today. Her speech was wonderful, and skillfully threaded the narrow path between Pres. Trump and Ryan/McConnell, et al. She knows all about leadership in a country with a strong Parliament/Congress and is doing a great job. Also showing strong support for Brexit. I’m thrilled with this speech.

I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one who did not have a favorable impression of the Prime Minister’s speech. While obviously there were a lot of positive things in it, I was dismayed (no pun intended) to hear her refer to the US as a “global nation.” That reference indicates that she does not grasp what we did in November.
Worse, she endorsed NATO’s “forward presence in Eastern Europe” which is provocative and, incidentally, violates President Bush, Sr.’s pledge to Gorbachev not to do so. She pointed to NATO operations in Kosovo as a good thing. Serbia is a Christian nation, and Kosovo is central to the Serb identity. It is now in the hands of Islamic Albanians as a result of NATO and EU action. She talked about “projecting our values,” typical neocon canting. She referred to Islam as a “religion of peace.” Meanwhile, the UK is being swamped by Islamic migrants and the government refuses to do anything about it. We are not going to let that happen here, and I hope the Prime Minister understands that.
While we do indeed have a special relationship, the UK government has by every measure sold out the British people. I hope the Prime Minister comes around to the Trump agenda. Someone commented above that she is the British version of a RINO. I propose we call her a BRINO: Brexit In Name Only, until she proves herself otherwise.

She has to call Islam a religion of peace – otherwise she might get her head chopped off. Seriously, the mayor of London is a Mohammedan. Only a minute or two into the speech she talked about how the US had to shoulder the burden of defending the world (a paraphrase). We’re tired of that burden. Time for our supposed allies to carry their share of the weight. What kind of mutual defense pact is it when most of the members can’t / don’t do anything to defend us? I don’t see any Latvians helping out on the US-Mexico border.

Kept pondering “PM of UK Theresa May attends & speaks at GOP Retreat in Philadelphia”. Brilliant P45. Totally emasculated Dimwits. Ds delay P45 cabinet votes, Sec’y of Commerce is absent from P45’s trade discussions with May, then D’s reap consequences – exclusion from P45’s first foreign leader’s visit/speech. OOPS! Hard for msm to interview Ds on speech since they didn’t attend. OOPS.
Big picture was May’s repeated references to renew UK/USA relationship (undertone: O decimated it). That’s the key. She’s grabbing the olive branch. P45 will ensure both parties are winners & in doing so sends major message to sinking EU ship.
