Texas Judge: Obama Reelection Could Lead To 'Civil War'

By Nick Wing

Tom Head, a county judge in Lubbock, Texas, plunged far out into the periphery of anti-President Barack Obama conspiracy theories on Monday, pushing a particularly outrageous one as justification for a tax increase in the county.

Head told FOX34 that Lubbock's law enforcement needed extra tax dollars in order to be prepared for a full-scale uprising, which he said could be a byproduct of Obama's reelection. According to Head, the president is seeking to sign a variety of United Nations treaties that will effectively take precedent over domestic law.

“He's going to try to hand over the sovereignty of the United States to the U.N., and what is going to happen when that happens?” Head asked. “I'm thinking the worst. Civil unrest, civil disobedience, civil war maybe. And we're not just talking a few riots here and demonstrations, we're talking Lexington, Concord, take up arms and get rid of the guy."

Head continued, delving deeper into his hypothesis and claiming that he was prepared to join the hypothetical resistance.

"Now what's going to happen if we do that, if the public decides to do that? He's going to send in U.N. troops. I don't want 'em in Lubbock County. OK. So I'm going to stand in front of their armored personnel carrier and say, 'You're not coming in here,'" the judge said. "And the sheriff, I've already asked him, I said, 'You gonna back me?' He said, 'Yeah, I'll back you.' Well, I don't want a bunch of rookies back there. I want trained, equipped, seasoned veteran officers to back me."

So, there you have it. Head would have listeners believe that they must agree to increase Lubbock's property tax rate by 1.7 cents in the next fiscal year, or risk being forced to submit to a foreign occupying force invited into the nation by the president of the United States.

Of course, this theory is entirely bunk.

There was a time (it seems so long ago, now) when I believed that only ignorant, uneducated people believed such patently nonsensical tripe. But I've seen FAR too many examples to the contrary in recent years. But it STILL amazes me when I hear about a person who went to an institution of higher learning, received a degree, (and who ostensibly learned some critical thinking skills in the process), and despite ALL that, manages to believe some of the craziest notions.

Oh, it's not necessarily about politics. It can be about so-called 'supernatural forces' such as ghosts, or aliens from outer space, or miracle messages from the 'hereafter', or even commercials about products that produce fantastic results like anti aging cremes that remove years from your face or fantastic weight loss pills that won't require a person to exercise or change his or her eating habits.
 
sorry I just saw this on yahoo. What is wrong with these guys?

what exactly is wrong with realizing elections could cause civil wars?

I see. So if I don't vote to your liking, you are going to take a shot at me? Now that is a real concept of democracy.

Nope. Not going to shoot at you at all. Im just not stupid enough to think civil war will never happen. Especially since it's happened again and again throughout all of human history.

Funny how people forget history isn't it? Now what's that saying again???? Something about being doomed to repeat it? :lol:
