In the spring of 1979
In the wake of Britain's "Winter of Discontent"
Margaret 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 the job of the governmen
Was to manage decline
Britain, believed, could do better
"Some seem to believe
That people should be numbers in a state computer
We believe they should be individuals
We're all unequal
No one, thank heavens, is quite like anyone else
However much the socialists
May otherwise
And we that everyone
Has the right to be unequal
But to us
human being is equally important"
And while she had no 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 Honorable 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
That her was right
"One of the great debates of our time
Is about how much of money
Should be spent by the state
And how much you should keep
To spend on your family
If the state wishes to more
It can do so only by borrowing your savings
Or by taxing you more
And it's no good thinking someone else will pay
someone is you"
She knew what Ronald knew
free markets and a free people
Are the best defense against tyranny
And that peace through strength
Not accommodation
"Mr. Speaker
Wars are not caused
By the build-up of weapons
They are when an aggressor
Believes he can achieve his objectives
At an price"
America now stands at a crossroads
One path leads to deficits
Decreasing influence and decline
The other a dream
We all want
"Mr. Chairman
People want to in peace
Real lasting peace
The peace that comes
From independence of the state
And to run your own life
Spend your own money
And your own choices
And, above all
The peace of a country
Which is defended
Against any potential adversary"
