Judge Tom Head, a county judge in Lubbock, Texas, announced on a local television station that he would personally join the resistance against a United Nations’ takeover of American sovereignty, which he says will occur if Obama is reelected:

[Obama] is going to try to hand over the sovereignty of the United States to the UN. Okay, what’s going to happen when that happens? I’m thinking worst case scenario here. Civil unrest, civil disobedience, civil war maybe. 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.

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 — with the little blue beanies. I don’t want ‘em in Lubbock County. Okay. So I’m going to stand in front of their armored personnel carrier and say ‘you’re not coming in here’. “And the sheriff, I’ve already asked him, I said ‘you gonna back me’ he said, ‘yeah, I’ll back you.’”

1. "Hi, I'm from the Secret Service and I'd like to have a few words with you."

That's a direct threat to the life of the president. And yeah, it's on a FOX affiliate - what else would you expect?

2. He'll be waiting for a LONG time for something like that to happen.

Perhaps, he should resign so that he can stand guard 24-7-365 against the impending UN invasion that President Obama apparently has planned for his second term.

3. I'm sick of these idiots on two different levels

Obama's gonna steal our guns! Obama's gonna turn us over to the UN!

There's just no word for this level of stupidity. Obama has neither instituted any kind of gun snatch and has actually loosened up restrictions for carrying guns into national parks and his reaction to protestors having guns outside of buildings that he's speaking in - no problem as long as they follow state and local laws.

The second level these idiots get me on is that they think things like they would stand a chance against an actual military force. These guys all remind me of my stupid, worthless cousin - who thinks he's a bad-ass. When a criminal escaped, he was going to drive his camouflaged-painted Blazer down to the river, and go looking for him with his gun. Never mind that this guy has multiple ulcers from being morbidly-obese and would have to rest every few minutes if he had to climb the slightest incline.

Just admit that you don't like having a Black guy in the White House and stop making up shit.

Oh, and he would personally join a resistance. Why don't you get the balls to start one if Obama is destroying America like you claim it is? Do it now! Stop Obama before he can act! These guys are like this one White Supremacy group that even all the others laugh at. They're a bunch of fat bubbas, who go out to the woods and shoot beer cans, and they're just hoping and praying for another group to start a race war that they can then ride the coattails of after most of the danger has passed.

Big talk, tough guy. Gonna stand up to make-believe UN troops.

5. Judge Tom Head invokes 'what if Obama re-elected' to get more money for public safety

This is all a part of some asinine county property tax wars they're having there. How they manage to twist it around like that is seriously insane though.

Both sides of the county property tax issue have drawn battle lines with County Judge Tom Head planting a battle axe in the middle of the fray by advocating more money for public safety.

In his push, Head said on a local FOX television program Tuesday night the county must be prepared to deal with public strife, especially if President Obama is re-elected:

Right now all they have that they know resonates with most Republicans is their mutual dislike for Obama. Which is why we're seeing "Vote for Republican X for senate/congress/alderman/dogcatcher to help get Obama out of office!!" This was a new twist I'll admit.

Anyone else notice he appears to be conceding the presidential election to the Democrats already?

6. These idiots are certifiably insane. Amazing.

7. Oh, armed insurrection against the United States?

I think that falls under the shoot on sight category, and everyone knows how many guns there are in Texas. Has this oaf ever heard of an oath that binds the swearer to protect the United States against all enemies, "foreign and domestic?"

If he even whispers about armed insurrection and brandishes a gun while doing it, he'll look like Bonnie and Clyde in the "after" picture, once the Secret Service gets done with him. But I doubt he'll get around to putting his words into action. The air is very hot in Texas. With idiots like this one, it tends to be much hotter on the way out than it was going in.

8. Note" "County judges" in Texas are not judges. They are elected county executives in the

commissioner judge system of county government which I believe is unique to Texas, Missouri and Arkansas. Just as with many state senators, county judges are often political hacks with a very narrow political base.
