Texas judge warns of civil war if Obama is re-elected
http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/23/us/tex...html?hpt=hp_t1

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

-Tom Head is the elected county judge and emergency coordinator for Lubbock, Texas
-He says Obama will try to give U.S. sovereignty away to the U.N.
-Head says seasoned, veteran fighters will be needed
-The warning was linked to a push for taxes, CNN affiliate KJTV reported

Quote:

Head said, "regardless of whether the Republicans take over the Senate, which I hope they do, he is going to make the United States Congress and he's going to make the Constitution irrelevant. He's got his czars in place that don't answer to anybody."

Obama, Head said, will "try to give the sovereignty of the United States away to the United Nations. What do you think the public's going to do when that happens? We are talking civil unrest, civil disobedience, possibly, possibly civil war ... I'm not talking just talking riots here and there. I'm talking Lexington, Concord, take up arms, get rid of the dictator. OK, what do you think he is going to do when that happens? He is going to call in the U.N. troops, personnel carriers, tanks and whatever."

Head vowed to personally stand "in front of their personnel carriers and say, 'You're not coming in here.' And I've asked the sheriff. I said, 'Are you going to back me on this?' And he said, 'Yeah, I'm going to back you.' Well, I don't want a bunch of rookies back there who have no training and little equipment. I want seasoned veteran people who are trained that have got equipment. And even then, you know we may have two or three hundred deputies facing maybe a thousand U.N. troops. We may have to call out the militia."

This is so far out there, i couldn't bring myself to read the whole thing. I stopped there.

Lubbock? Every single thing I've heard about that place is bad, I've come to think of it as a wretched hive of scum and villainy.

TLDR. Superbly informative topic title.

This is as stupid as when the Moonbats claimed Bush and Darth Cheney would do the same thing. I guess both sides have their share of them.

Some days I ponder if some people in the US actually want another civil war.

Hmm. Doesn't look like the sheriff is backing him up.

Quote:

Sheriff Kelly Rowe told KJTV there had been no conversation about such a civil war scenario. The two have discussed contingencies for emergency management, he said.

And it appears that Head was pissed off about tax increases which were, ironically, aimed at increased funding for law enforcement. It also seems that the public and the county commissioner aren't crazy about the statement.

Quote:

County Commissioner Gilbert Flores told KJTV he was "ashamed" of Head's remarks, and told the judge, "I think you better plan to go fishing pretty soon."

Quote:

Attorney Rod Hobson jokingly put up U.N. flags outside his Lubbock office, KJTV reported. "When I saw the story I thought, once again, Lubbock is going to be the laughingstock of the entire nation," said Hobson. "What makes it so sad is he is our elected county judge, who is in charge of a multi-million dollar budget. That is scary. It's like the light's on, but no one is home... I'd just like to think he's off his meds."

Seems like another of those 'freak show' stories to me, and not indicative of general sentiment.
