I’m sure he went off script once or twice.
Something about moving the statehouse and doing “political things.” Then he mentioned how wants to plant vegetation on vacant lots that they take from people to build roads.

Basil Marceaux Dot Com’s policy proposals:
Everyone gets a gun. All gun permits repealed.
Move state government to Chattanooga.
Seed empty fields and make the crop into ethanol.
Something about the flag, I’m still confused about this.

He wants to plant vegetables on roads made from vacant lots? Or were the roads made of people who previously owned the vacant lots?

GLENN: You wear a badge around your neck. Were you a police officer or a sheriff — what is that badge that you wear around your neck?
BASIL MARCEAUX: Okay. In fact, I’m the only one in the United States who wears it. Several years ago, as a matter of fact, I started my year, the same year you started your radio show, 2001, when a law enforcement officer put a gun to my face at a stop sign and pulled my friends out of the car and kicked the crap out of him. He was a Navy Seal like Rambo. I’m sure Rambo wouldn’t have liked that much. So, I told the officer then that I was going to look for a law that allowed a marine to arrest anyone who breaks the Constitution. After three years and six months, I found Federal Law 241, the emancipation proclamation proclamation, the Civil Rights Act of 1866, and the (inaudible.)

Marceaux welcomed the extra attention this brought his campaign, but denied rumors that he was intoxicated when the video was filmed.

Earlier this year, Freedom from Religion Foundation erected a billboard on U.S. Highway 27 at the Hamilton/Rhea County Line in Tennessee praising Darwin. Freedom from Religion wanted a billboard in Rhea County, Home of the Scopes Trial, but local billboard owners refused sell them add space. The Darwin Billboard sparked the response of my mother-in-law, June Griffin who declared, ‘It was pay back time.” June garnered the support of funds throughout the community and as a result the following billboard was put up in defense of God & the Bible. WorldNetDaily featured an article on the billboard titled, War of words erupts over Darwin billboards.

He spells vegetation with an extra ‘i.’
But he wants to plant it, that’s the important thing.
Look, what kind of a campaign do you think you could run with a hundred bucks and all the change in the change jar?
Reminds me, actually, of the Richard III Museum in York. They have a great location, they somehow got the city to let them have a fifteenth-century guardhouse built into the city walls which was commissioned by their hero himself when he was Duke of Gloucester.
Inside, it is screamingly funny. They have things like a portrait of Henry VII on the stairs, with a note underneath saying “Don’t trust this man.” And while the whole thing seems to have been put together with about five hundred pounds and a whole lot of love, one of their people clearly has access to laminating machine. Basically everything is laminated. It’s kind of wonderful.

re: #104 Kragar (Proud to be Kafir)
Ethanol in its current form as an addititve is sound. The idea that it is the miracle fuel of the future has no basis in science or economic reality.
Ethanol has energy value and it will help move your car. But coming from corn, it had more energy value when it was corn and it could help move your muscles.
Or if you’re not hungry, the corn could be sold to those who are, and the money used to buy oil. We do better that way, and it both looks and is better from the humanitarian perspective as well.

Something about moving the statehouse and doing “political things.” Then he mentioned how wants to plant vegetation on vacant lots that they take from people to build roads.
He’s going to to move the state house to Chatanooga.
Then he’s going to clean house, and get rid of backroom politics.
He’s going to make judges listen to their oath.
He’s going to make the flag fly right, and get rid of gold-fringed flags.
He’s going to plant vegetation on empty lots and use it to make ethanol.

I may be a total idiot, but what’s wrong with gold-fringed flags?
GET THAT GOLD FRINGE OFF MY FLAG!
“The flags displayed in State courts and courts of the United States have gold or yellow fringes. That is your WARNING that you are entering into a foreign enclave, the same as if you are stepping into a foreign embassy and you will be under the jurisdiction of that flag. The flag with the gold or yellow fringe has no constitution, no laws, and no rules of court, and is not recognized by any nation on the earth, and is foreign to you and the United States of America. more information
MILITARY FLAG WITH THE GOLD FRINGE
Martial Law Flag “Pursuant to 4 U.S.C. chapter 1, §§1, 2, & 3; Executive Order 10834, August 21, 1959; 24 F.R.6865; a military flag is a flag that resembles the regular flag of the United States, except that it has a YELLOW FRINGE border on three sides. The President of the United States designates this deviation from the regular flag, by executive order, and in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief of the military. The placing of a fringe on the national flag, the dimensions of the flag and the arrangement of the stars in the union are matters of detail not controlled by statute, but are within the discretion of the President as Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy.” 34 Ops. Atty. Gen. 83.
President, Dwight David Eisenhower, by Executive Order No.10834, signed on August 21, 1959 and printed in the Federal Register at 24 F.R. 6865, pursuant to law, stated that: “A military flag is a flag that resembles the regular flag of the United States, except that it has a yellow fringe border on three sides.”“

Aug. 4, 2010 Gubernatorial Debate in Nashville: Basil Marceaux, June Griffin, Howard Switzer PART 2
[Video]The chick in the blue dress wants to take air conditioning away from American Indians.
Wait. As someone who has Indian relatives living in hot climates, can I ask WHY? And how is it even possibly constitutional to take AC away from one ethnic group?
148 | Kragar Thu, Aug 5, 2010 4:22:02pm |
Basil Marceaux Sr, (born May 26, 1952) is an American who has on multiple occasions been a candidate for state and federal public office in Tennessee.
Most recently, he filed as a candidate for the 2010 Republican nominations for governor in the Tennessee gubernatorial election[1] and U.S. House of Representatives in Tennessee’s 3rd congressional district.[2] He previously ran unsuccessfully as a candidate for United States Senate and House of Representatives[1] and ran unsuccessfully for Tennessee governor in 2002 as an independent candidate.[3] Due in part to his unconventional viewpoints, his 2010 campaign for Governor became somewhat of an internet sensation.[4][5]
…
Marceaux faced Bill Haslam, Joe Kirkpatrick, Ron Ramsey and Zach Wamp in the Republican gubernatorial primary election on 5 August 2010. A Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc. poll, taken before the popularity of Marceaux’s video became widespread, projected Marceaux as receiving one percent of the vote in the primary.[2]

I found the emancipation proclamation I’m kind of tired right now emancipation proclamation that says the United States government and the military and the Navy to maintain and recognize such person to keep people free from slavery and no act should stop them. And we all know if I’m 4th Recon marine, the best soldier in the world, everybody knows I maintain for life and my oath is for life to protect and defend, but I have no power. I should be able to arrest people who break the Constitution. This was my oath. So, I went looking for the law to see if a marine can arrest Constitutional violators and I came upon (inaudible) 39th Congress (Inaudible) Page 38, 41, and 42. That’s the same law that gave African Americans four eighths of a mule.

The pot debate
[Video]
The bearded guy said the following “When marinuana was made illegal, it was treating 100 ailments in this country”. A little while later “But it’s more than that. It’s an important agricultural product! Food, fuel, fiber, medicine, all coming from one plant”.
Why do we even plant other forms of vegitation?
