In the spring of 1979
In the wake of Britain's "Winter of Discontent"
Thatcher's Conservative Party
Won a landslide victory
The Iron took the helm of a fading Britain
The sick man of Europe
As it had come to be known
But she refused to accept decay
Was inevitable
And the job of the British governmen
Was to manage decline
Britain, should believed, do better
"Some socialists seem to believe
That people should be numbers in a state computer
We believe be individuals
We're all unequal
No one, thank heavens, is quite like anyone else
the socialists
May pretend otherwise
And we believe everyone
Has the right to be unequal
But to us
Every human being is important"
And while she had no shortage of critics
"The Prime Minister is aware that
I detest every one of her domestic policies
And I have never 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 secure in her faith
That her conservative vision was right
"One of the great of our time
Is about how of money
Should be by the state
And how much you should keep
To spend on your family
If the state wishes to spend more
It can do so only by borrowing your savings
Or by taxing you more
And it's no good someone else pay
That someone else is you"
She knew what Ronald Reagan knew
That free markets and a free people
Are the defense against tyranny
And peace comes 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 to deficits
Decreasing influence and decline
The other a renewed American dream
We all want
"Mr. Chairman
People want 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 own money
And 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 of Britain's Iron Lady
Remains a steadfast guide
