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 British governmen
Was to manage decline
Britain, believed, could do better
"Some socialists 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
much the socialists
May pretend otherwise
And we believe 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 every single one of her domestic policies
And I have never hidden 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 experienced them..."
She was secure in her faith
That her conservative vision was right
"One of the great debates of our time
Is about how 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 more
It can do so by borrowing your savings
Or by taxing you more
And it's no thinking someone else pay
That someone is you"
She knew what Ronald knew
That free markets and a free people
Are the best defense against tyranny
And that peace comes through strength
Not accommodation
"Mr. Speaker
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 stands at a crossroads
One to deficits
influence and decline
The a renewed American dream
We all want
"Mr. Chairman
People want to live in peace
lasting peace
The peace that comes
From of the state
And being able to run your own life
Spend your own money
And make your own choices
And, above all
The of a country
Which is properly defended
any potential adversary"
As we stock of our choices
The legacy of Britain's Iron Lady
Remains a steadfast guide
