LUBBOCK (CBSDFW.COM) - A Texas leader is warning of what he calls a ‘civil war’ and possible invasion of United Nations troops if President Barack Obama is re-elected.
Lubbock County Judge Tom Head is convinced that Mr. Obama winning a second term would lead to a revolt by the American people and he’s is pushing a tax increase for the district attorney’s office and the Lubbock County Sheriff’s Office. He says the money is needed to “beef up” it’s resources in case President Obama wins the November election.
Judge Tom Head (credit: Lubbock County) In the event of civil unrest Judge Head said he’s concerned the President would hand over sovereignty of the United States to the U.N. and that the American public would react violently.
“I’m thinking worse case scenario,” Judge Head explained. “Civil unrest, civil disobedience, civil war maybe…we’re not just talking a few riots or demonstrations.”
The West Texas judge’s proposed tax increase is to help the sheriff’s office hire a law enforcement large enough to protect the county and to drive away “invaders.”
“I don’t want rookies,” Head said flatly. “I want trained, equip and seasoned veteran officers to back me.”
The republican judge said that he himself will meet the enemy, “in front of their armored personnel carriers” to tell them they are not welcome, and has the county sheriff to back him up. “I don’t want U.N. troops in Lubbock County,” he said.
Tom Head, a graduate of Highland Park High School, has been a county judge since 1999.
If he’s NOT re-elected, I see rioting happening in some cities, with the LEOs initially being to PC-bound to do anything about it,
until people say “enough”, and start taking out the trash.
I see it as one of three ways:
1. ‘Bama’ looses and the ‘yutes’ go wild and many a big city lights up the night skies for weeks.
2. ‘Bama’ wins and forces a revolt to free the country from his tyranny.
3 ‘Bama’ sees the writing on the wall that he is going to loose and ‘cracks’ forcing his removal from office.
fine...texas has idiots too. we do not mind admitting it.
That has to be the most bass-ackwards demented ju-jitsu attempt to get a tax increase I’ve ever seen.
We are because if we don't they'll send the IRS after us.
So another public official wants his own army...at taxpayer expense.
Why not just call up the Citizen Militia? Isn’t that what we are there for?
“The Civil War and the subsequent invasion by the United Nations troops is most likely to occur if Obama is NOT reelected.”
LOL, can sure tell you’re not from West Texas!
I know the UN is a fluster cluck but I'm still trying to wrap my mind around this strategy meeting...
UN Gen. #1: "We'll have to strike rapidly and decisively in order to control the continental U.S."
UN Gen. #2: "Yes, General, which means firmly securing west Texas first of all!"
UN Gen. #1: "Right! We don't want a sagebrush rebellion on our hands."
Bear in mind that in smaller locales such as Lubbock, Texas uses what we call at-law-court, where there is no criteria for being a judge. Also note that judges in at-law-court do not have the same authority as a real judge. I just know someone is going to read this and assume that we grow them stupid in Texas. We don’t. He’s a layman in hicksville.
I am not familiar with this source, but I do know that someone needs some serious remedial writing instruction.
Who's going to pay them?
No problem...They are given free rein to rape & pillage in lieu of monetary payment..
At least that's the way it worked every where they have been on the rest of the globe during the past 20 years.
Hmmm. Tax increase IN CASE Obama’s re-elected. Now there’s no small irony. Are we sure this guy isn’t a Democrat in disguise?
Being Lubbock, I am highly doubtful that he’s a democrat. However, I do believe that there’s a strong possibility that this dude has been chewing on some peyote buds....
Judging from their track record, they would, indeed. In trouble spots in the Middle East and elsewhere where they have been sent, the blue helmets usually head for the tall grass whenever they come up against real soldiers or guerrilla fighters.
Personally I think we need 2 countries. Liberals/demoRATs/unions/socialists/welfare nanny staters, get the NE states, WA, OR & CA. Conservatives get everything else. And never allow the liberals to migrate or move back to the conservative side. They will find out very quickly that Margaret Thatcher was correct..."Socialism only works until you run out of other peoples money".

He gets style points for the novelty of it, but the answer is still NO.
What has he been smoking?
