Basil J Marceaux for Governor of Tennessee
« on: August 05, 2010, 06:59:55 PM »
The subject line is not an endorsement; simply a statement.  With all of the criticism about the gubernatorial candidates' commercials in the recent Alabama primary (especially Tim James) I thought that this appearance by a Republican candidate for Governor of Tennessee might spark some commentary (see video below); the presentation is awkward and ungainly but, perhaps, some of the ideas aren't so bad...maybe?  The Tennessee primary is today.

I'm very hesitate to criticize this fellow at all because in his credentials he claims to be "Force Recon Marine is the first Freedmen's Bureau Agent/ Great Man of 2008".  His Marine Corps service is verified by the independent 'Vote Smart' organization (Reconnaissance Division, United States Marine Corps, 1971-1973).  I respect and appreciate his service to the country.

Well, anyway, maybe Tim James didn't have such a bad commercial after all by comparison.

Somewhere there is a mental institution still pretending that one of the inmates did not escape.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.
