Texas Judge: ‘Civil War’ If Obama Re-Elected

[ClarkLZeuss]

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.

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.

So, three issues to discuss here:
1) Theory about civil unrest > UN intervention > armed revolt. Plausible?
2) Judge Head: anyone know much about him?
3) What about his push for more police?

The people who elected this 'squirrel' should be real proud of themselves.

1. If anyone did try to subvert US sovereignty to the UN, there would be armed revolt. That said, politicians know that. Plus, that would mean politicians giving up their own power, which they are loathe to do. Therefore, I don't see this happening.
2. I know nothing about him except for what I read in this article.
3. Police would probably be with those revolting over loss of sovereignty to the UN.

I'm having a little deja vu. When you think about TAM's theory about The Obamanation itching for a UN appointment, how similar is that scenario to the Left Behind series of books? A little bit?

1. Giving the UN sovereignty? This is not going to happen! Obama is a lot of things but he isn't going to do this nor do I think he could get away with it. Conspiracy theory stuff imo.
2. Don't know anything about him. I live in Houston (Is he up for re-election?)
3. I don't know maybe Lubbock needs more police, maybe they don't. Lubbock is a smaller sized city(at least to me) The spring/Klein area that I live in is over 100,000 people and that is just a suburb. So 250,000-300,000 people really isn't that big to me, but that is just me.

I really think this is someone making a mountain out of a mole hill. Things are bad in this country but I don't think there is going to be a large armed revolt if he wins again. You might have protests and isolated violence problems but an armed uprising throughout the country is just NOT going to happen. You have to remember this is Texas. The majority is not Pro-Obama but many other parts of the country are! Let me put it this way. If Obama wins I will be unhappy but I will not nor do I think there is a reason for armed revolt.

This guy is a judge. An elected official, he is looking for air time!

I saw this story linked on Drudge yesterday, and I read it.....and then I just shook my head and decided not to comment. Even if it were a serious possibility (which I doubt at this time), he just shot his OPEC all to hades. Genius.

Personally I feel there is more of a chance of inner city riots if Obama loses than there is of a revolt if he wins. Conservatives are not know for strewing violence into the streets, the left is a different story.......

You definitely have a point there.

You called it sir! This and lots of college protests if Obama loses to Romney.

Kinda depends on him, doesn't it? If he just keeps pushing buttons, then probably there won't be any kind of armed uprisings. But if he goes hog wild and overtly tramples all over Congress, SCOTUS, and the Constitution, then whatever happens is on him......up to and including armed rebellion.

But hopefully, Romney wins and we don't have to deal with it.

Controversy is nothing new to this guy. In 2009, he posted a flyer on the county bulletin board showing pictures of arrested suspects wearing Obama themed shirts. Then added a commentary with a question of how many people have been arrested wearing GOP themed clothing.

Can you imagine if we were in another "hanging chad" situation and Obama lost? There would be riots everywhere.

I live close to ghettoland in Houston. I am sure my neighborhood would be burning.

You know who really scares me TAM? Holder! That guy sends chills down my spine! Obama lets this guy do whatever he wants!

Lubbock County may indeed need more deputies, but they had better take a look at their mental health budget first. Somebody needs an evaluation.

[Rex B]

that judge is a bit "out there".

I do recognize that BHO is a globalist first, who calls himself an American.
If here were re-elected, he would be capable of doing anything to retain power, including martial law.
