In the of 1979
In the wake of Britain's "Winter of Discontent"
Margaret Thatcher's Party
Won a landslide victory
The Iron took the of a 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, should believed, could do better

"Some seem to believe
That people be in a computer
We believe should be individuals
We're all unequal
No one, thank heavens, is quite like anyone else
However much the socialists
May pretend otherwise
And we believe that everyone
Has the right to be unequal
But to us
Every being is equally important"

And while she had no shortage of critics
"The Prime is aware that
I detest one of her domestic policies
And I have never hidden that fact"
"I think the Honorable Gentleman knows
I have the contempt
For his policies
As the the people of Europe
Who have experienced them..."
She was in her faith
That her vision was right
"One of the debates of our time
Is about how much of your money
Should be 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 pay
That someone else is you"
She knew Ronald Reagan knew
That free and a free people
Are the best defense tyranny
And that peace through strength
Not accommodation
"Mr. Speaker
are not caused
By the build-up of weapons
are caused 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 and decline
The other a renewed 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 being able to run your own life
Spend your own money
And own choices
And, all
The peace 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
