I like “It’s a Wonderful Life,” and that didn’t make me a liberal. By the way, Mr. Potter, the banker, is more similar to George Soros than and conservative I know. George Bailey is the embodiment of conservatism.
I get pretty weepy during “Its a Wonderful Life”. I had damp eyes watching the recent “Saving Mr. Banks”. I always have damp eyes watching “We Were Soldiers”. My wife finds it endearing.
I also get a tear in my eye reading the Declaration of Independence to my kids when I see how far off our country has gone from the original intent.
