Texas judge says Obama re-election might trigger civil war

8/23/2012

Tom Head is a judge in Lubbock County, Texas. He’s not a judge in the legal sense -- his duties include preparing the budget. Recently, Head told a television station that he wanted to raise taxes to add more law enforcement. Why? Because of the civil war that could follow if President Obama is reelected. “Civil unrest, civil disobedience, civil war, maybe,” Head said. He also said the outbreak of violence would stem from Obama turning over U.S. sovereignty to the United Nations. Oh, and did we mention he invoked this scenario while lobbying for a 1.7 percent hike per $100 on property taxes? [Source]
