saw this over on CNN.com.
This guy is some kind of Lubbock, Texas disaster preparedness co-ordinator. He says he's thinking of the worst possibilities and preparing for disaster, but it also sounds like he approves. He's some kind of conspiracy theorist also, talking about Obama giving up American sovereignity to the U. N.
Sounds to me like he's edging right up to the edge of the cliff on treason, advocating and aiding those who would attempt the violent overthrow of the legitimately elected government of the United States of America; without QUITE stepping over the edge himself directly.

Here we go again...didn't we hear about this threat if the Tea Partiers didn't get their way last midterm elections? I wonder why "secession" and "revolution" are the first things that come to mind with these people...I don't have to WONDER why these types are so vehement in their hatred of Obama that they'd consider a war. Sick bastards.

Yup, there it is. Well, after all, it IS Texas...and it IS Lubbock (no apologies to Mike; everyone I've ever talked to agrees where you are is an enclave of sanity).Quote:
At least there's ONE sane Texan: "Lubbock is going to be the laughingstock of the entire nation"--he should have added "again".
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."
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."
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.
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.

Oh, a civil war....sure, why not. How will it be fought? I only have a 5-shot .38 special. Should I reserve a room at the Fort Sumter Holiday Inn now, or wait a while?

A lot of Americans feel that a civil war may be on the horizon.
They just don't all think it will be precipitated by Obama's re-election. Or a takeover by the UN.

Actually, that's what I'm afraid of. The rhetorical posturing, mostly by those opposed to Obama, has long passed the point where the 2 parties can discuss their differences, and reach any sort of compromise. Once you reach that stage, open warfare is the only avenue left. And they'll continue to blame Obama, right up to the point where they don't get their own way, and start killing people.

And the GOP dominated in those mid-term elections, as I recall.
And not a single cop car got pooped on, either. Imagine that!

Thank you.
Although the picture on the top left of www.CNN.com right now (8:15pm EDST) is of LL Cool J. I kind'a doubt he's the Texas judge.
