In the spring of 1979
In the wake of Britain's "Winter of Discontent"
Thatcher's Conservative Party
Won a landslide victory
The Iron 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
people should be in a state computer
We believe they be individuals
We're all unequal
No one, thank heavens, is like else
However the socialists
May pretend otherwise
And we believe everyone
Has the right to be unequal
But to us
Every human is equally important"
And while she had no shortage of critics
"The Prime Minister is aware that
I every single one of her domestic policies
And I have that fact"
"I think the Honorable Gentleman knows
That I have the same contempt
For his socialist policies
As the the people of east Europe
Who have them..."
She was in her faith
That her conservative was right
"One of the 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 borrowing your savings
Or by you more
And it's no good someone else pay
That someone else is you"
She knew what Ronald Reagan knew
That free markets and a free people
Are the best defense against tyranny
And that peace comes through strength
Not accommodation
"Mr. Speaker
Wars are not caused
By the build-up of weapons
They are caused when an aggressor
Believes he can achieve 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
lasting peace
The peace that comes
independence of the state
And being to run your own life
Spend your own money
And your own choices
And, above all
The peace of a country
Which is properly defended
Against any potential adversary"
As we stock of our choices
The legacy of Britain's Iron Lady
Remains a steadfast guide
