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 that the job of the British governmen
Was to manage decline
Britain, believed, do better
"Some socialists to believe
That should be numbers in a state computer
We believe they be individuals
We're all unequal
No one, thank heavens, is quite like else
However the socialists
May pretend otherwise
And we believe that everyone
Has the right to be unequal
But to us
Every human being is equally important"
And she had no shortage of critics
"The Minister is aware that
I detest single one of her 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 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 much of your money
Should be spent by the state
And how you keep
To spend on your family
If the state wishes to spend more
It can do so only by borrowing savings
Or by taxing you more
And it's no good someone else will pay
That someone 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 when an aggressor
Believes he can achieve his objectives
At an acceptable price"
America now stands 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 live in peace
Real peace
The peace that comes
From independence of the state
And being able to run your own life
Spend own money
And make your own choices
And, all
The of a country
Which is properly defended
Against any potential adversary"
As we take stock of our choices
The legacy of Britain's Lady
Remains a steadfast guide
