I do not like the movie either. Mostly because of Jimmy Stewarts’ voice, but secondarily because the anaolgies are either too vague or too strained. But I do like “The Final Countdown.” Go figure.
What a fagaloon.
ken burns is one of the 47%.
“Ken Burns: Why I am voting for Barack Obama”
“To ensure my chances of funding for the production of patronizing documentaries which allow me to display my many virtues.”
Because I still haven't figured out how to make movies with pictures that move. I can move the pictures around on the screen but that's it.
And how do you get the people in the pictures to talk? I've never figured that out.
Poor Ken should take a history lesson. He should read up on those Tea Party radicals and what they stood for 200+ years ago.
He might be surprised.
Ken, Ken, Ken.... It only looks like the republicans went to the right because the democrats went to the extreme left, bordering on anarachy. The republicans are more liberal than ever.
“Ken Burns forgets what really saved George was his generous businessman friend, Sam Wainright (”Hee-Haw!”) who advances him the cash he really needs. Oh and it was another independent businessman Mr. Gower the druggist who had the wherewithall to get that solution going. The kind government “we all belong to” was ready to throw Bailey in jail.”
Now you hush. Can’t have the truth creeping in here to spoil Ken’s argument.
Glad Burns won’t have a free forum for his historical trash after Romney gets elected. Close that friggin’ network down.
” This should be tagged with a mega-barf alert”
The words in the title, “I am voting for barack obama”, is sufficient.
Potter was a crony “trickle down government” capitalist. Anyone remember there is a scene where Potter is talking with his rent collector who is giving an analysis of the Bailey Park housing development. The intercomm buzzes and Potter’s secretary says a Congressman is in the office waiting to see him. Potter dismissively says “Tell the Congressman to wait!” back to the secretary.
Mr Burns.... I share your interest in baseball and the American Civil War. That is about all we have in common you blithering lib.
Let's start with a fictional movie, assume the guy in the white hat in the movie is on our side while the guy in the black hat is on the other side, and then try to draw some grand conclusion about government from it.
I’ve watched It’s a Wonderful life about a half dozen times or so.
I somehow missed the part where George Baily ran up massive debt or bailed out a car company for 10 times what it was worth.
I certainly do not remember the eviquivilence of a Chevy Volt or Solyndra in the movie?
Did G.B. promise them shouvel ready jobs?
I defintitely do not remember G.B. being a Statist???
If anything Potter was is closer to 0bama than is Baily.
Cold and impersonal. One size fits all. The bottom line is holding onto your power.
If Jimmy Stewart were still alive, he’d be voting Romney.
That is all. Carry on.
Burns just confirmed he is an idiot. He has absolutely no conception of the problems or the drastic solutions that are necessary tp solve the problems. He looks upon Obama as a Magic Unicorn that has voids Magical Manure to spread around to instantly fix everything.
Sadly way too many people think the same.
Yes I liked “Baseball” but Ken Burns...who cares what _she_ thinks? :)
(...ever heard him speak? High pitched voice...) Wonder if he still has that Beatle haircut.
