In the spring of 1979
In the wake of Britain's "Winter of Discontent"
Margaret Thatcher's Party
Won a landslide victory
The Iron Lady took the helm of a fading Britain
The sick man of Europe
As it had to be known
But she refused to decay
Was inevitable
And that the job of the British 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 be individuals
We're all unequal
No one, thank heavens, is quite like anyone 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 Prime Minister is aware that
I detest every 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 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 how much of your money
Should be spent by the state
And how much you should keep
To on 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 thinking someone will pay
That someone else is you"
She knew 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
They are caused 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
want to in peace
Real lasting peace
The peace that comes
From independence of the state
And being able to run your own life
your own money
And make your own choices
And, above all
The peace of a country
Which is properly defended
Against any adversary"
As we stock of our choices
The legacy of Britain's Iron Lady
Remains a steadfast guide
