What is it with conservatives being so nuts and paranoid?

5. Texas County judges are not judges as in trials, etc.

They are more like county executives embedded in a county commissioner form of government.
Many are political hacks, though interestingly, Harry Truman started his political career as a county judge in Missouri, which has a similar system (as does Arkansas) of county government. Truman actually made a name for himself as a competent steward of county government as county judge.

8. Who are these 'UN Troop's' Obama is sending in?

And if the Lubbock Co Sheriffs Dept. can fight them off do we really have to worry?
