Salena Zito writes about the pople of Bedford Falls, the town in It's a Wonderful Life.

Main Street America has entered an era of populism that embraces neither party. People are tired of government bailouts, spending and unchecked corruption, as well as the media's perceived lack of curiosity or investigation into all three.
They are really tired of being told their values and way of life are not politically correct.

They don't believe in elitist and snobby answers to their problems. They don't even want other people defining their problems for them. Buzz off!
