In the spring of 1979
In the wake of Britain's "Winter of Discontent"
Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Party
Won a landslide victory
The Lady took the helm of a fading Britain
The sick 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, should 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, heavens, is quite anyone else
However much the socialists
May pretend otherwise
And we believe everyone
Has the to be unequal
But to us
human 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 fact"
"I think the Honorable knows
That I the same contempt
For his socialist policies
As the the people of Europe
Who have them..."
She was secure in her faith
That her conservative vision was right
"One of the great debates of our time
Is about how much of your money
Should be spent by the state
And how much you should keep
To spend on your family
If the state wishes to spend more
It can do so only by your savings
Or by you more
And it's no good thinking someone else will pay
That someone is you"
She knew Ronald Reagan knew
That free markets and a free people
Are the best against tyranny
And that peace comes through strength
Not accommodation
"Mr. Speaker
Wars are not caused
By the build-up of weapons
are when an aggressor
he can his objectives
At an acceptable price"

America now at a crossroads
One path leads to deficits
Decreasing influence and decline
The other a renewed American dream
We all want

"Mr. Chairman
People want to in peace
Real lasting peace
The peace that comes
From independence of the state
And being to run your own life
Spend own money
And own choices
And, all
The peace of a country
Which is properly defended
Against any potential adversary"
As we take stock of our choices
The legacy of Britain's Iron Lady
Remains a steadfast guide
