In the spring of 1979
In the wake of Britain's "Winter of Discontent"
Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Party
Won a landslide victory
The Lady took the helm of a fading Britain
The sick man of Europe
As it had come to be known
But she to accept that decay
Was inevitable
And that the job of the British governmen
Was to decline
Britain, should believed, could do better
"Some socialists seem to believe
That should be in a state computer
We believe 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 that everyone
Has the to be unequal
But to us
Every human being is equally important"
And while she had no 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
I have the same contempt
For his policies
As the the people of east Europe
Who experienced them..."
She was secure in her faith
That her conservative was right
"One of the great debates of our time
Is about how much of your money
Should be spent by the state
And how you should keep
To spend on your family
If the state wishes to spend more
It can do so only by borrowing savings
Or by taxing you more
And it's no good thinking someone else will pay
someone else is you"
She knew what Ronald Reagan knew
That free markets and a people
Are the best defense against tyranny
And that peace through strength
Not accommodation
"Mr. Speaker
are not caused
By the build-up of weapons
They are caused when an aggressor
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 American dream
We all want
"Mr. Chairman
People want to live in peace
lasting peace
The peace comes
From independence of the state
And able to run your own life
Spend your own money
And your own choices
And, above all
The peace of a country
is properly defended
Against any potential adversary"
