Texas judge warns of civil war if Obama is re-elected - Polidicks

Source: [url]http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/23/us/texas-judge-warning/index.html?hpt=hp_t1[/url] [quote] An elected county judge in Texas is warning that the nation could descend into civil war if President Barack Obama is re-elected, and is calling for a trained, well-equipped force to battle the United Nations troops he says Obama would bring in. The comments by Lubbock County Judge Tom Head, who oversees emergency planning efforts, were broadcast by CNN affiliate KJTV. He made similar remarks on radio station FOX Talk 950. Saying that as the county's emergency management coordinator he has to "think about the very worst thing that can happen and prepare for that and hope and pray for the best," Head told radio host Jeff Klotzman that he believes "in this political climate and financial climate, what is the very worst thing that could happen right now? Obama gets back in the White House. No. God forbid." Why are tax hikes politically radioactive? Referring to unexplained "executive orders" and other documents that Obama and "his minions have filed," 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." Opinion: Taxmageddon headed our way 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. KJTV reported that the warning was linked to taxes. Head "indicates a tax increase is needed to shore up law enforcement to protect us," the station reported, adding that a tax increase is under consideration that "would largely benefit the district attorney and sheriff's offices. But the emphasis is more on salary competitiveness than doomsday scenarios." Head made his controversial remarks Tuesday. On Wednesday at a county commissioner meeting, he emphasized that his remarks were about "worst case scenario in my opinion," and added, "Do I think those are going to happen? Probably not." 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." 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." But video from the Wednesday meeting showed at least one citizen supporting him. "Judge Head, thank you, and God bless," one citizen said. Head did not immediately respond to an e-mail or phone call to his office Thursday morning. KJTV reported that an aide to Head said the judge will not be commenting for one or two days.

Okay, you know what. Let them fight, this has been approaching for far to long and these people are being greedy bastards because they know Obama is going to win.

... What Texas?

Though I support the Republicans, I think the judge is nuts.

Its honestly really fucking stupid how many people are crying like babies over the fucking president. We should be crying over Congress and the Senate.

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;37373300]Though I support the Republicans, I think the judge is nuts.[/QUOTE] Welp, this thread is screwed.

[QUOTE=Swilly;37373309]Its honestly really fucking stupid how many people are crying like babies over the fucking president. We should be crying over Congress and the Senate.[/QUOTE] We cry over them too.

We need to idiot cull all levels of government.

[QUOTE=Swilly;37373313]Welp, this thread is screwed.[/QUOTE] I ain't going into details, I'm just saying, I think the judge is nuts.

I am definitely in Sensationalist Headlines.

[QUOTE=faze;37373388]Um...most of America cares???[/QUOTE] Prove it? The only things people in this country seem to care about is party alignment, so you know what? Fuck the whole democratic process if it's divided between two equally shitty groups of people that do nothing more than manipulate the minds of the weak into allowing them positions of power so their friends in big business can lobby to them and get laws passed that benefit them. Hitting that button isn't showing proof, only your opinion.

Damn it Texas, I hate living here

[QUOTE=zeldar;37373452]do you know what you've just dooooone[/QUOTE] Do you know that not everyone has the same idea as everyone else? It's called an [B]opinion[/B], if you disagree with it, that's fine. Even then, I'm a Canadian resident, so I'm watching this from the sidelines.

[QUOTE=zeldar;37373452]do you know what you've just dooooone[/QUOTE] Oh shush, there's nothing wrong with supporting republicans. Being a republican doesn't imply conservative social ideas, extremism or stupidity.

[QUOTE=mac338;37373475]Oh shush, there's nothing wrong with supporting republicans. Being a republican doesn't imply conservative social ideas, extremism or stupidity.[/QUOTE] Exactly. Even though you support a platform, it doesn't mean that you have to follow every single one of their ideologies, nor does it mean extremism. That's the wonder of freedom of speech.

Let them. Kick their ass for good and have a few millions less retards in America.

Advice from SC, Texas: starting a civil war typically doesn't end well in your favor.

Somehow I don't imagine Texas doing so well against the other 49 states, really really don't see it happening.

We should just give a free pass to all Extremist republicans and let them live in Texas, then let them leave the union if they want

[QUOTE=mac338;37373475]Oh shush, there's nothing wrong with supporting republicans. Being a republican doesn't imply conservative social ideas, extremism or stupidity.[/QUOTE] but it's against fp protocol

[QUOTE=KaIibos;37373580]what makes you think texas would be the only one there are a loooot of crazies in america[/QUOTE] Yeah didn't like Virginia say the same thing? I would fuck some people up if a war started here in Michigan, my guess is the Michigan Militia (who are officially a terrorist group according to the FBI) will probably help in the "revolution"

[QUOTE=KaIibos;37373580]what makes you think texas would be the only one there are a loooot of crazies in america[/QUOTE] Somehow I imagine that the people who aren't retarded out number the people who are.

[QUOTE=zeldar;37373610]but it's against fp protocol[/QUOTE] You can't force an opinion on someone without being morally wrong. You've got to respect different people's opinions on matters, no matter how crazy they are in your opinion.

They can sense whenever someone says they support the republicans! The darkness is coming! Anyway, why can't we just let the crazies secede so the rest of the nation can move on with our lives?
