Oh, boy…spinning the dial desperately hoping to find some useful news and voila!.. Chris Mathews, right-wing bootlicker pundit for Rupert murdoch and his capo, Roger (The Evil) Ailes. How a guy like this gets taken seriously, even by the drooling boob-wazee is a mystery to this Basco Americano. But then, I’ve known (and been resigned to)where the wisdom of the American can take us ever since Lyndon Johnson, a shill for the Brown & Root Oil Drilling Co. flew back to Washington from his lair in Texas with the carcass of the whoremongering drug-addicted (but stylish) Jack Kennedy, the much-vaunted hero of PT-109 (Lt. Kennedy was asleep at the wheel when a Jap destroyer deep-sixed his boat along with some of the crew). Kennedy was also the guy who first introduced large forces (the 25th Infantry Division) into the colonial effort to  do what the French hadn’t been able to do, set up a Catholic puppet state in the center a couple of million Bhuddists who didn’t know understand the advantage of having a colonial jackboot on their necks. Gosh, even after decades of murder, torture and enslavement of Vietnamese peasants that they might be more effective workers in Msr Michelin’s plantations, you’d think they’d learn how to be more agreeable. Ayee caramba! With the help of the best-and-brightest Msr. McNamara, who later wrote an in-depth mea culpa for his complicity in the genocide, President Johnson would continue the carefully thought-out plan.

Now, stooges like Matthews are slobbering all over John McCain a naval officer, son of an admiral, fast-tracked into a free education at the naval academy at Annapolis. The younger McCain spent 5 years in a Vietnamese prison getting the hell beat out of him pretty regularly. Unlike the 58,000 working-class boys who didn’t come home alive or at all, McCain came back with 5 years of back pay, a promotion and assigned hero status. I doubt if the people of Vietnam, whose children, mothers and livestock were incinerated by John McCains’ napalm bombs would think of him as a hero. Chris Matthews does though. Maybe Chris’s vision is clouded, his nose being planted so firmly you-know-where. Now I understand where Roger Ailes gets that gleam in his eye.

The American Peasant now exists for the benefit of all Americans. We are the same people, who when King George lll disbanded the House of Burgesses for having the temerity to object to his syphylletic drooling ramblings, moved their meetings to The Raleigh Tavern where they continued their conversations, unimpeded by Royal perogatives and perhaps ramped up in their discourse by the low-cost ale there available. The American Peasant today has a similar challenge…to share useful news and information which is intended solely for the good of his countrymen.  Categories of interest will be:
