It’s a Wonderful Leftist Life
When we last left our hero in Bedfellow Falls, George “Barry” Bailout was back in business providing loans once again to the working poor on the streets of Bailout Park. As you may remember, Barry was despondent after Uncle Barney somehow managed to misplace the cooked books at the Fannie and Freddie deposit window and decided to try to find a way to blame the “greedy bankers” instead.
The bank examiners were threatening to shut down the entire operation, mostly because it was based upon a sham in the first place, but Uncle Barney refused to let them examine the books, repeatedly claiming that nothing was amiss. Barry wants to travel the world, see places like Marbella and Southeast Asia. Maybe play a little golf. He’s also a little hard of hearing. This makes it very hard for him to listen to all the people around him telling him to stop losing their money, to stop putting Uncle Barney in charge of investigating Fannie and Freddie, and to start concentrating on fixing the loss of eight trillion dollars. Barry keeps telling everyone that they are crazy, stupid, and don’t understand as he drives his car into a tree, while drinking a Slurpee.
When Uncle Barney had been arrogantly lording his latest headlines from the lapdog media in everyone’s face, as he always does, the collapse came. He turned to Pelosi, the kingpin of leftist bullying tactics, and she went to work. They held secret meetings, deprived investors of key information, locked out examiners, went to work skulking behind the scenes to cram down unread and wildly unwieldy mammoth proposals that nobody wanted. Uncle Barney asks Pelosi Savings and Loan to write a blank check, using money from its depositors without their permission. Pelosi thinks of all the power that comes with all the citizens of Bedfellow Falls being in debt, cackles, and says yes, of course.
Meanwhile , Barry Bailout is overwhelmed. He’s clearly in over his head. He goes on a bender and takes a real shellacking. He looks to the heavens and is sent down a messenger, Christie Clairvoyance Odbody. Barry is shown how nanny state intrusion leads to disaster. How people are murdered when borders are treated as walking paths with no turnstiles, drug cartels ravage the states, people are groped at airports, prostitution rings are run in Uncle Barney’s basement, and Bedfellow Falls becomes Pelosiville, a degenerate pit of hedonism, graft, corruption, and other Democratic Party pastimes.
“Bedfellow Falls”…heh, heh, well done.
I don’t know, but I must be one of the few conservative Republicans out there who really hates this tax deal that is currently being debated. I like the fact that the Bush-era takes rates are being extended, but what we had to give up to get that for only a two-year extension isn’t really worth it. Over $50 billion in pork earmarks just to get this thing through Congress, plus the extension in unemployment benefits for another year, plus even more tax CUTS and tax BREAKS for people who don’t even pay income tax. And in all of these discussions nobody, from either the Democrats OR the Republicans, have tried to offset the costs for all of these goodies with actual government SPENDING CUTS. So we keep spending money we don’t have and borrowing it from people we don’t like, in the hopes that this will do something to stimulate the economy. And if it doesn’t? We will just have added another trillion dollars to our debt with not much of a payoff.
Take a good, hard, look at Greece and Britain right now. We’ll be there in about a year or two. Less time than that in states like California and New York, which are basically broke now. Me? I’m stocking up on food, clothing, and other essentials. Our pioneer forefathers had it right. Self-reliance is the only thing that’s going to keep you alive in the coming days. Count on it.
While I can’t speak as to how many conservatives are opposed or appalled to the tax deal, this conservative agrees completely with your points about the unacceptable provisions in the original deal. While I could live with extending the unemployment benefits as an act of compassionate political necessity. Contrary to what some believe this part does not extend benefits to the 99ers and compensating cuts can be made after Jan. 1. Extending tax credits for people who don’t pay any federal income taxes already is insane and demonstrates how scrofulous the GOP remains. There are no green or renewable energy subsidies of any kind that are acceptable and I’m not only referring to the ethanol subsidies. While I don’t know if ethanol was part of the original deal the other green elements were. This deal is unacceptable and should not pass.
“He’s (Harry) a hood ornament on the car being driven off the bridge.”
Absolutely brilliant writing.
There is STILL not enough people awake. For God’s Sake!!
Just list, without going into detail, all the screw-ups, (intentional or not) the LEFTISTS are responsible for… You’d be talking for hours.
Anybody in their right mind, who has a mind left after all the kool-aid that rains down 24/7, would NEVER EVER vote for these charlatans again.
I ain’t playin their game and mock them openly every chance I get. I don’t care if it’s un-PC, or no light coming from the heat of anger,etc. I’ve completely and absolutely had it with these clowns. Look at California….Detroit….anywhere these boobs have had control for awhile, and what do you see? Idiocy on parade…and ruin.
Want a good cry? Google Detroit ruins and see the leftist version of the American Dream. Bring a box of tissue paper.
That’s what I thought but ‘Harry’ and ‘Barney’ got back in. There are so many immigrant twits out there that think the Dems love them.
I like the writing style; Should be simple enough for the Obaminutia to read. (They might require some caricatures, though.) But understanding could be tricky.
I think you have a novel idea of providing a ‘fairy tale’ type of journalism to appeal to the current crop of ‘educated voters’.
Good chuckles. Keep up the good work.
Great! Looking forward to the film.
I grew up in Seneca Falls (Bedford Falls) which is claimed to be the small town that the story was based on Frankly I love “It’s a Wonderful Life” because it gives one hope that evil people (whether capitalists or sleezy politicians or University professors) will get ‘theirs’ in the end. I’ve seen in many times, and never once have I thought of it as anti-capitalist.. I’m pretty conservative (recovering liberal) and don’t see the film as propaganda…just a good story with a happy ending.
There are corrupt people in this world in all walks of life, teachers, lawyers, academics, businessmen, newspaper owners, journalists, and on and on. I don’t let that effect my enjoyment of Jimmy Stewart in “It’s a Wonderful Life”. There is so little that makes one feel good in the entertainment industy …. I look to old films for relief.
I will say, however, that I live in a nearby town now and read in the papers this morning that MTV and MSNBC has people there to do some taping of the celebration of “Its a wonderful Life, which occcurs each Christmas. (Christmas is still celebrated around here, unless you live near too many academics) I found it odd that MSNBC and MTV were interested….. who knows what they’re looking for. We’ll soon see what spin they put on a simple celebration of a simple film that celebrates Christmas and good people.
Have you noticed that MTV ,that has always been liberal.has started to throw more weight around. Soros gave them a few million to start getting tougher on the conservatives.
MTV already is too raucous for my values and has been for years.
