Liberalism’s Favorite Movie

Hmmmm, thats 10 minutes I will never get back. So they broke a contract and stole land off the people who saved them. Not something to shout about.

To Tommy Tainant: Now I know why the sun set on the British Empire.

Incidentally, Americans saving your county’s ass in two world wars is not something I shout about.

Ouch, that certainly put me in my place. I am guessing that you have decide to stop debating ?

To Tommy Tainant: I do not debate in circles; so it depends upon what you want to add.

I saw the movie "It's a Wonderful Life" once, and thought it was kind of overrated, but that's just me.

UPDATE
​

The movie It’s a Wonderful Life is a piece of Socialist collectivist crap.

Jeez, they even took the horrors of war and turned It’s a Wonderful Life into “. . . what is perhaps our most beloved motion picture. . .”:

How Jimmy Stewart Became George Bailey

How Jimmy Stewart Became George Bailey​

 

[boedicca]

The movie It’s a Wonderful Life is a piece of Socialist collectivist crap. The rich guy, Mr. Potter, is portrayed as a meanspirited cheapskate while the hero, George the Banker, is beloved by one and all —— loved by an angel no less.

Incidentally, I’d like to meet a banker who is loved by angels!

The primary liberal message was that George’s suicide would be a tragedy. (A strange message coming from the people who later gave the world a Culture of Death.)

The subliminal message was that Mr. Potter’s demise would do the world a service. That movie is so revered by touchy-feely sob sisters none dared criticize it —— until now —— at least in part:

This “fringe banking” system, and the people who use it, are the subjects of Mehrsa Baradaran’s How the Other Half Banks.

Let’s be clear at the outset: this is not a judicious or balanced analysis of that system and population. It is a partisan work suffused with moral outrage. Baradaran, a law professor at the University of Georgia, at times sounds like a certain Harvard Law professor who recently traded Cambridge for the Senate.

No matter how Mehrsa Baradaran slices it, go to the movie to get the original collectivist crapola.

Actually, IAWL can be interpreted as a paean to small government decentralization vs. Big Government Banksterism.

Mr. Potter is the Bedford Falls Wall Street-Fed Monster trying to put the entire community in his thrall as debt serfs. The Building & Loan may can earn a decent return on their savings instead of subjecting themselves to Mr. Potter's ZIRP.

You could manage better if you took a strong laxative and settled down.
