Don’t be surprised if a ‘writer’ from the libtard bastion of Boston doesn’t understand what the movie is about.

The ‘economic’ message is that small, private banking is a fine enterprise if it is part of the free-market system. The mean banking system is the one that seeks to conglomerate to eliminate competition so that it can create a monopoly. In other words, the mean banking system is the socialist banking system that we and the rest of the industrialized world are suffering under and that is best known as “central banking.”

The ‘spiritual’ message is that even people of faith fall on hard times but that God is always watching out for us and has a purpose even for our suffering.

The ‘community’ message echoes that of the ‘economic’ message, that a small neighborhood of people who truly know one another and care about one another and voluntarily take care of one another is the truest and best form of community. This is in stark contrast to the un-voluntary (forced) support that is mandated through the “State” and that forces one group of people to take care of another group of people whom they do not know, may not share common traits with, who may even be starkly opposed to and who may feel that ‘justice’ is being served by forcefully taking from that group to give to the recipients.

It is not just a nice movie.

It is an excellent movie with an excellent message.

Liberals don’t like it because it is an excellent example of how pop culture can praise traditional American values and how it can be done artistically.

And, as we all know, all communication channels in this country are only supposed to speak the Marxist message.

Merry CHRISTmas, everybody!!

Great post, GPM. Summed up the movie perfectly with your 3 messages part. Looks like a bunch of Freepers really get it this morning.

My favorite movie is 1984’s George C. Scott “A Christmas Carol”......Love it!!! I also love the Grinch (old one). Those two are my favorite Christmas movies. It’s a wonderful life is ok. I would rank it in the top 5 but not 1 or 2.

Amen and bravo!

The only thing I can add is another key message which I got out of the film:

True success is not measured by how much stuff you accumulate and how many people you can boss around, but whether or not the world is a better place for you having lived in it.

By that measure, George Bailey is a rousing success and Potter is a dismal failure.

Merry CHRISTmas to you too!

"libtard bastion"

The Boston Herald is a conservative paper. You're thinking of the Boston Globe.
