h/t to Republican 36 for a similar diary – promoted by Colorado Pols)
Or so predicts Lubbock County Judge Tom Head. Apparently this election will decide whether or not the President gets to completely do away with the Constitution, appoints more crazy czars who answer to no one and bring in the UN to battle our troops. Not “ours”, I guess. It really just depends on who you are.
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 has denied that this conversation took place, instead insisting he only spoke to Head about general emergency situations. And Rowe isn’t the only one confused, other elected officials are just plain ashamed. One attorney put UN flags outside of his office as a joke.
The best part? This doomsday scenario is an argument to raise local taxes to pay for police training. Who wants a civil war soldier who can’t shoot?
No emphasis on the crazy because an entire diary in bold seems obnoxious.

And take Arizona with them?
Along with South
Carolina.
Damn! I’m sure glad Obama hasn’t taken away my guns….yet.
….keep waiting….keep waiting.
This idiot has watched “Red Dawn” a few too many times.
of the far right. They gather at midnight every Saturday to watch it and memorize the lines after 100 consecutive viewings.
And of course even though Arizona is much closer I’d like to keep New Mexico while keeping the new foreign nation in one easy piece to reduce border and travel issues.
So how about this? Highly populated Texas secedes and takes less populous but even more ultra red Oklahoma with it. Bet Oklahoma has as many birther and UN black helicopter invasion wackos per capita as any state in the union.
I’ve lived there. Nobody will miss it. Wind all the time turning nothing much snow into highway blocking drifts in the winter and sand storms the rest of the year that require keeping your mouth tightly shut to keep out the grit. Most of the year, every time it rains there’s a tornado warning. Seems like every plant has stickers. Snakes everywhere and our cats got parasites I couldn’t even find in books.
Also the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles fit together so nicely to form the most godforsaken hell hole on earth with the possible exception of the Aleutian Islands.
We can then deal with the lesser than Texas sized populations of Arizona and S. Carolina which will not have much influence as R majorities in congress and R presidents will be pretty hard to come by in the new trimmed down USA. Long live the new nation of Texahoma! Don’t let the door hit you etc.
It doesn’t have to be contiguous. When Britain partitioned India, it created East Pakistan and West Pakistan. So, I’ll give you Texas and Oklahome as West Birtherland and South Carolina as Birtherdesh.
The University of Texas and surrounding Austin together with its airport, becomes West Berlin, a charter part of the Free World.
working out swimmingly for the Indian partition and West Berlin could not have remained tenable. I say absorb and dilute what we can’t spit out. You also do a lot of spitting out in Oklahoma. The dust and sand storms again. Maybe we could airlift all of Austin to a nicer location. We have several friends there who wouldn’t mind a slightly cooler climate. What if we do a swap and send Bachmann’s CD to Texas.
(Admission: that was just for the fun of snark. My mom’s folks were from western Oklahoma; Mom was born at the Sak and Fox Indian Agency before it was a state. Visiting back there I met some really nice friendly, intelligent people. But that was before bat-crap craziness seized hold.)
both of ‘em . . . the old, and the new, testaments.
and politics 30 plus years ago was not the way it is now. Very conservative and very religious but not angry, hostile, full of conspiracy theories and paranoia.
BTW, it was over 100 degrees for like a month, everyone smelled kind of funny. Some funnier than others…
Of course, I’m also wagering that I’m not going to be crushed to death anytime in the foreseeable future.
hands down:
I’d prefer to think that too instead of the alternative presented in the CNN article–that this guy genuinely believes this and is dead serious. And worst of all, has plenty of vocal, ardent supporters of his views.
When I went to grad school there the sheriff’s name was Sonny, the football coach was Spike, and the mayor’s name was Peck. It was like living in a Larry McMurtry novel. Nice to hear things haven’t changed much.
I’m getting not getting a degree in Political Science, I’m getting a degree in Emergency Management so I can be cool like Judge Head and help prepare for the imminent U.N. invasion.
