In the spring of 1979
In the 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 to be known
But she refused to accept decay
Was inevitable
And that the job of the British governmen
Was to decline
Britain, should believed, could do better
"Some 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 like anyone else
However much the socialists
May pretend otherwise
And we believe everyone
Has the right to be unequal
But to us
Every human being is equally important"
And while 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 that fact"
"I think the Honorable Gentleman knows
That I have the same contempt
For his socialist policies
As the the people of east Europe
Who experienced them..."
She was in her faith
her conservative vision was right
"One of the debates of our time
Is how much of your money
Should be spent by the state
And how much you should keep
To spend on family
If the state to spend more
It can do so only by borrowing your savings
Or by taxing you more
And it's no good thinking someone will pay
That someone else is you"
She knew what Ronald Reagan knew
That markets and a 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
he can achieve his objectives
At an acceptable price"
America now stands at a crossroads
One path leads to deficits
influence and decline
The other a renewed dream
We all want
"Mr. Chairman
People want to live in peace
Real peace
The peace that comes
independence of the state
And to run your own life
Spend your own money
And make own choices
And, above all
The of a country
Which is defended
Against any potential adversary"
As we take stock of our choices
The legacy of Britain's Iron Lady
Remains a steadfast guide
