Lubbock Co. Judge warns of danger if Obama re-elec

[heightsyankee]

Lubbock County Judge Tom Head and Commissioner Mark Heinrich went into great detail Monday night on FOX 34 News @ Nine about why it is necessary to raise the tax rate by 1.7 cents the next fiscal year.

An across-the-board pay increase is needed for the attorneys on the DA's staff to keep them from being poached by higher-paying counties, and the sheriff needs to expand his staff by seven deputies to reduce call response times, minimize officer fatigue and reduce the turnaround time for investigations.

Judge Head said he and the county must be prepared for many contingencies, one that he particularly fears, is if President Obama is reelected.

“He's going to try to hand over the sovereignty of the United States to the UN, and what is going to happen when that happens?,” Head asked.

“I'm thinking the worst. Civil unrest, civil disobedience, civil war maybe. And 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. I don't want 'em in Lubbock County. OK. 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'. Well, I don't want a bunch of rookies back there. I want trained, equipped, seasoned veteran officers to back me."

Whether you agree with the judge, or think his theories are unrealistic, the reality is a tax hike that will provide an additional $832,433 coupled with $2 million in cuts to make the numbers work.

You can sound off at two public hearings, Wednesday at 10 a.m. and Monday at 10a.m. Both hearings are at commissioner’s court.

I thought the meme was that the UN is a bunch of pussies.. I can never keep this stuff straight.
And people wonder why there are constant threats to the life of the President with this kind of shit...
Can't wait for someone to jump in and say "It happened to Bush tooo!!"

Why the fuck is Agenda 21 getting so much play by the Glen Beck followers?

It is over 20 years old, non-binding and the UN hasn't managed to take over the US in the last 20 years.

[smock]

So a Judge and a Sheriff have teamed up to support riots against Obama if he's reelected?

It's sad that I'm not surprised.

The Community Reinvestment Act is over 30 years old but it didn't stop everyone from blaming the housing crash on it. Loans to blah! people because Barney Frank says soo!!

Here's what i don't get about all these "if Obama is reelected!!" crazy theories. If Obama was so intent on handing over the sovereignty of the US to the UN, for example, or turning us into a Muslim socialist state, why wouldn't he have already done that? Why wait til a second term and gamble on not being reelected?

I don't think a guy like that should be in charge of a courtroom.

I don't think a guy like that should be in charge of a f'ing barbecue.

Please tell me what it is about Obama that makes people think he's trying to be world dictator??? What has he done that makes one believe it?

What is the initial catalyst that takes it from 0 to crazy in 10 seconds?

Ummm, just look at him!

I just can't wrap my head around the world domination thing.

Seriously, is it race? There is a lot of guilt there if your first thought is "once that black man is in power, he's gonna get us back!"

And it says a ton about what that person would do to black people if they had a chance.

But is it race?? Really??

Do people really think he's the antichrist??

[summer]

If his name was more Presidential like Freddie Washington or Arnold Jackson it would be better?

I really think people believe him to be the antichrist. Was the antichrist a Muslim?

Isn't Lubbock where one of the Dixie Chicks was born & raised?

I'm pretty sure they have a song about it.
