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 took the helm of a fading Britain
The man of Europe
As it had come to be known
But she refused to 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 like anyone else
However much the socialists
May otherwise
And we that everyone
Has the right to be unequal
But to us
Every human is equally important"
And while she had no shortage of critics
"The Minister is aware that
I detest one of her domestic policies
And I never hidden fact"
"I think the Honorable Gentleman knows
I have the same contempt
For his socialist policies
As the the people of 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 by the state
And how much you should keep
To spend on your family
If the wishes to spend more
It can do so by borrowing your savings
Or by you more
And it's no good thinking else will pay
That someone else is you"
She knew what Ronald Reagan knew
free markets and a free people
Are the best against tyranny
And that peace through strength
Not accommodation
"Mr. Speaker
Wars 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"
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
want to live in peace
lasting peace
The peace that comes
From independence of the state
And able to run your own life
Spend your own money
And make your own choices
And, above 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 Iron Lady
Remains a guide
