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 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 be individuals
We're all unequal
No one, thank heavens, is quite like anyone else
However the socialists
May pretend otherwise
And we believe everyone
Has the right 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 one of her domestic policies
And I have never hidden that fact"
"I think the Gentleman knows
That I have the same contempt
For his socialist policies
As the the people of east Europe
Who have experienced them..."
She was secure in her faith
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 keep
To spend on your family
If the state to spend more
It can do so by borrowing your savings
Or by taxing you more
And it's no good thinking someone else will pay
That someone else is you"
She what Ronald Reagan knew
That free and a people
Are the best defense against tyranny
And comes through strength
Not accommodation
"Mr. Speaker
Wars are not caused
By the build-up of weapons
They are caused when an aggressor
he can achieve his objectives
At an acceptable price"
now stands at a crossroads
One path to deficits
influence and decline
The other a American dream
We all want
"Mr. Chairman
People to live in peace
Real lasting peace
The peace that comes
From independence of the state
And able to run your own life
Spend your own money
And make your own choices
And, above all
The peace of a country
Which is properly defended
Against any potential adversary"
As we take stock of our choices
