The Real Legacy of Margaret Thatcher, Britain's Iron Lady by The Heritage Foundation

In the spring of 1979
In the wake of Britain's "Winter of Discontent"
Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Party
Won a landslide victory
The (1)________ Lady took the helm of a fading Britain
The (2)________ man of Europe
As it had come to be known
But she refused to accept that decay
Was inevitable
And that the job of the British governmen
Was to manage decline
Britain, (3)____________ believed, could do better

"Some socialists seem to believe
That people should be numbers in a state computer
We believe they should be individuals
We're all unequal
No one, (4)__________ heavens, is (5)__________ like anyone else
However much the socialists
May pretend otherwise
And we believe that everyone
Has the (6)__________ to be unequal
But to us
Every human being is equally important"

And while she had no shortage of critics
"The Prime Minister is aware that
I detest every single one of her domestic policies
And I have never hidden that fact"
"I think the (7)__________________ Gentleman knows
That I have the same contempt
For his socialist policies
As the the (8)____________ of east Europe
Who have experienced them..."
She was secure in her faith
That her (9)________________________ (10)____________ was right
"One of the (11)__________ debates of our time
Is about how (12)________ of your money
Should be (13)__________ by the state
And how (14)________ you should keep
To (15)__________ on (16)________ family
If the state wishes to spend more
It can do so only by (17)__________________ your savings
Or by taxing you more
And it's no good thinking (18)______________ else will pay
That someone else is you"
She knew what Ronald (19)____________ knew
That free markets and a free people
Are the (20)________ (21)______________ against tyranny
And that peace comes through strength
Not accommodation
"Mr. Speaker
Wars are not caused
By the build-up of weapons
They are (22)____________ when an aggressor
Believes he can achieve his objectives
At an acceptable price"

America now stands at a crossroads
One (23)________ leads to deficits
Decreasing influence and decline
The other a renewed American dream
We all want

"Mr. Chairman
People (24)________ to live in peace
Real lasting peace
The (25)__________ that comes
From independence of the state
And (26)__________ able to run your own life
Spend your own money
And (27)________ your own choices
And, above all
The peace of a country
Which is (28)________________ defended
Against any (29)__________________ adversary"
As we (30)________ stock of our choices
The legacy of Britain's Iron Lady
Remains a steadfast guide
