Texas judge warns of possible ‘civil war’ if President Obama is re-elected

What is it about election years?

As if the negative political ads aren't enough, now a county judge in Lubbock, Texas, predicts possible "civil war" if President Obama is re-elected.

Judge Tom Head was on a local TV news show making his case for a tax increase, when he said hiring extra sheriff's deputies would especially be needed if Obama wins in November.

Yeah, fucking Harris County against the rest of Texas. Don't fret. It actually needs to happen.

Texans bein' rowdy. Haaaave you met Texas?

Guys like that would never want actual civil war. Then nationwide television coverage of their ranting might be pre-empted.

If God had intended for Texans to ski he would have made bullshit white!

I live in Texas.

"I may not have been born here, but I got here as fast as I could."

I did too, mostly at the expense of Harris County. I will never go back to Houston!

My brother lives in Austin. I have an affection for Texas, if not necessarily my brother.

I think it's misunderstood in the way that New York is. Rowdy, but a lot of heart.

The law be strict there.

Pharma pot card? Man, Cali is a different world. It's almost like comparing France to Mynamar.

Don't do drug, never had the desire to fuck up my mind with chemicals that don't belong there. So no problem for me.

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

The best way for a limey to picture Texas is if the nation of Australia was moved lock stock and barrel and surgically attached to lower Devon and Dorset so that folks could travel back and forth between London and Melbourne by automobile.

That sounds about right. LOL.

He's not exactly a judge in the sense of wearing black robes and banging a gavel. In this context, he's something of a county commissioner, which is why he was talking about taxes. Of course, it still says something about Texas--and there are plenty of places here even wackier than Lubbock, which at least has the moderating influence of a major university--that someone this batshit could have any job with influence.

But I'm starting to think that outside of the biggest cities, there's basically no lower limit on sanity that can keep anybody from being elected to anything in Texas. The problem with life in a one-party state is that there's no benefit to being reasonable. It's a race to see who can be crazier. Last year's conservative hero is this year's RINO.

I don't talk politics with many of my neighbors.

The thread starter agrees with this judge. He's full of shit if he says otherwise.
