85 Days Before the Election and Lubbock Prepares for War

Remember the Alamo, er... the Buddy Holly Memorial

So Texas County Judge (I guess the equivalent of a County Mayor in
other parts of the country) said today that if Obama wins a second
term, there will be civil war.  He’s gone as far as to enlist the county sheriff to pull together a trained force to ward off the United Nations troops that will be unleashed.  No, this is not an Onion article – this man is apparently serious.

On a talk show out of Lubbock, Judge Tom Head said “regardless of whether the Republicans take over the Senate, which I hope they do, he [President Obama] is going to make the United States Congress and he’s going to make the constitution irrelevant.  He’s got czars in place that don’t answer to
nobody.”  He went on to say that Obama will “try to give sovereignty of the United States away to the United Nations.  What do you think the public is going to do when that happens?  We’re talking civil unrest, civil disobedience, possible civil war.  I’m not talking riots here and there, I’m talking Lexington, Concord, take up arms, get rid of the dictator… he’s going to call in the UN troops, personnel carriers, tanks, and whatever.”  Head went on talking about raising a
militia, standing personally in front of tanks and what have you.  When asked, the Sheriff seemed to have no idea what he was talking about and stated that they had had a discussion about Emergency Management matters and nothing about preparing for a civil war.

The Judge did backtrack somewhat on his comments, stating that they were misunderstood and that he was referring to issues of taxation.  The Judge was unreachable for furthe comment and his office stated that he would be unreachable for at least 1 to 2 more days.
