It's a Wonderful Life? I Don't Think So!

Well, Jimmy Stewart's socialist commie love fest was just presented on network television and I have to ask you something:  What the heck happened to the brains of these network executives and why do they present a socialist agenda on corporate owned television?!

From the get-go, young George Bailey should have been named Vladimir Bailey what with his crying for socialized medicine when he hurt his ear for sledding with a shovel.  He really should have worked and saved up money so he could pay his own doctor bills or better yet, have bought a sled. If he weren't collecting welfare, maybe he would have used that shovel to earn some bucks!

And what's with all this WW2 stuff about the community getting together to collect scrap metal for the soldiers.  The government could do the job much cheaper if we hire private contractors instead.  Plus, regular citizens wouldn't have to  become a bunch of junkmen!

But the worst part was the portrayal of Henry F. Potter, the only businessman in town, as far as I could tell, who created jobs.  He was demonized just for wanting to do what everyone wants to do--make money.  It was totally unfair.

And any student of Ayn Rand will aptly point out to you that the truely selfish one was George Bailey.  The only reason he helped people was because it gave him a good tingly feeling inside to promote socialism and ruin society.  Some of the people he helped looked like drunks.

When the whole town shows up in Bailey's house at the end of the picture, a horrible orgy of "share the wealth" ensues and the movie ends not making a lick of sense:  The criminal, who should go to jail, is suddenly off the hook.  He lost the money!  He should pay for his irresponsibility.  What kind of lesson is this for our children?

Worse yet is the whole thing about the guardian angel, Clarence.  The fact that he is sent down there to help a "discouraged" George Bailey shows us how these film makers need to get into a Christian church because they definitely do not understand God.  Why would God send an angel to help a freeloader who can barely support his kids and not to Mr. Potter, who is in a wheelchair and needs more help after a lifetime of creating jobs and helping the community remain free? 

It should definitely not be a hit.
