Mel or Mellie was a 'unique' personality that used to post on these boards....( a LOT). She left in a huff, or was banned ( I'm not quite sure). Since then, some people on here seem convinced that anyone and everyone who disagrees with them IS mellie or one of her alternate ID's ('sockpuppets' or 'socks').. So 'mellie' is sort of like the forum 'bogeyman' (or bogeyperson)... Personally I don't think matty is mellie..his syntax and attitudes are very different to mellie's.. |

Title: Re: To all of those calling me mel/mellie? Post by Andrei.Hicks on Jun 23rd, 2011 at 3:19pm
It's interesting mate, I will give you that. An interesting take on it.
What strikes me though is that in the poll done last year of citizens who were asked "Who if they had the choice would they want as President right now if they could pick any President from history" Of those aged 35+, 69% said Ronald Reagan. Reagan won 49 states out of 50 in 1984. The 1980s mate. A safer world, a better world, socially, culturally and we all knew our place. We were the good guys, the Soviet Communists were the bad guys, and Miami Vice was on TV... It's a bit long, but I'd love this for a signature. "I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind, it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind swept, God blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace - a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors, and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still. How Stands the City? And how stands the city on this winter night? More prosperous, more secure and happier than it was eight years ago. But more than that: after 200 years, two centuries, she still stands strong and true on the granite ridge, and her glow has held steady no matter what storm. And she's still a beacon, still a magnet for all who must have freedom, for all the Pilgrims from all the lost places who are hurtling through the darkness, toward home. We've done our part. And as I "walk off into the city streets," a final word to the men and women of the Reagan Revolution - the men and women across America who for eight years did the work that brought America back: My friends, we did it. We weren't just marking time, we made a difference. We made the city stronger - we made the city freer - and we left her in good hands. All in all, not bad. Not bad at all. And so, goodbye. God bless you. And God bless the United States of America." Ronald W Reagan, The White House, Jan 11 1989 |

Psephologists pointed to "Reagan Democrats"—millions of Democrats who voted for Reagan, as in 1980.
They characterized such Reagan Democrats as southern whites and northern blue collar workers who voted for Reagan because they credited him with the economic recovery, saw Reagan as strong on national security issues, and perceived the Democrats as supporting the poor and minorities at the expense of the middle class. The Democratic National Committee commissioned a study after the election that came to these conclusions, but suppressed the "explosive report" afraid that it would offend its key voters. |

not just those that could be bothered voting..the reagan/ mondale election seemed to me to be more significant because most Americans didnt want either of them :) |

Honestly..its like the last election here, Gillard and Abbott..there was no way I was going to vote for either of them.
I would rather have not voted if I couldnt vote for Costello or Turnbull |
Title: Re: To all of those calling me mel/mellie? Post by Andrei.Hicks on Jun 23rd, 2011 at 4:59pm
I can't agree with that.
Look at the people's current views of the Reagan era and their view of him as President. How do you explain so many Americans asserting they would have him back as President tomorrow if they could? |

population of America in 1984 was 235,825,000 people http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/peo_pop-people-population&date=1984 According to your figure only 37,631,807 people voted so I wouldn't call that a good result Just say 234,000,00 people were eligible to vote so that is 196,368,193 didn't vote and you reckon compulsory voting is no good There was more that didn't vote then voted for Reagan. |

Ronny was a bit of legend though. he may have had dodgy home policies but internationally he was a star.
The whole star-wars hoax to make the russians crumble was amazing. I saw a show not long ago about it. Goes along the lines of one of the big wigs in Russian spying sold off all the names of spies in the west. Russie was using these to keep up with the americans in military terms. The US (and UK, etc) were able to round up all the spies at once, meaning the russians were blind to what they were doing. Based on this Ronny played the biggest poker hand in history saying (with a straight face) that the US was spending trillions on a missile defense shield. Russians couldnt match the money, and couldnt discount that it was possible. They lost all there bargaining power, and came crawling back to the cold war negotiating table. Star wars was never going to get off the ground. Too much unproven technology. Awesome. |

I am not sure if you recall the condition of both countries when they took over. In the UK we had bodies left unburied, rubbish piled up in Covent Garden and Leicester Square, a top rate of tax over 80%, all public sector unions holding Callaghan's Government to ransom. Mrs Thatcher promptly smashed the Unions, privatised the loss making junk like Leyland Daf and turned us into the 4th richest country in the world. Overtaking France. As for Reagan, he brought about a tough line to the USSR, recused the hostages and ensured Americans were not again ashamed to be American (as they had been told to be by the Democrats since the end of the Nixon years) - plus not have to line up in car lines 30 long for a gallon of gasoline. Both were saviors of their relevant countries. The western world owes a debt of gratitude to both Reagan and Thatcher. |
