In the spring of 1979
In the wake of Britain's "Winter of Discontent"
Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Party
Won a victory
The Iron Lady took the helm 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 that the job of the 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 should be individuals
We're all unequal
No one, thank heavens, is quite anyone else
However much the socialists
May pretend otherwise
And we that everyone
Has the to be unequal
But to us
Every human being is equally important"
And while she had no shortage of critics
"The Prime Minister is that
I detest single one of her domestic policies
And I have never hidden fact"
"I think the Honorable Gentleman knows
That I have the same contempt
For his socialist policies
As the the of east Europe
Who have experienced them..."
She was in her faith
her conservative vision was right
"One of the of our time
Is how much of your money
Should be spent by the state
And how you should keep
To on your family
If the state wishes to spend more
It can do so only by your savings
Or by taxing you more
And it's no good someone else pay
That someone else is you"
She what Reagan knew
That free 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
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 influence and decline
The other a renewed American dream
We all want
"Mr. Chairman
People want to live in peace
Real peace
The peace comes
From independence of the state
And being able to run your own life
Spend your own money
And make own choices
And, above all
The peace of a country
Which is properly defended
Against any adversary"
As we take stock of our choices
The legacy of Britain's Iron Lady
Remains a steadfast guide
