Texas Judge Warns of Civil War in Obama Re-Elected 
---------------------------------------------------


 
A Texas judge is drawing controversy for declaring he is prepared to
join a civil war to overthrow President Obama. In a televised interview,
Judge Tom Head of Lubbock, Texas, said he thinks Obama will hand U.S.
sovereignty over to the United Nations if re-elected.

Tom Head: "He is going to try to hand over the sovereignty of the United
States to the U.N. 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.' Well, I don't
want a bunch of rookies back there. I want trained, equipped, seasoned
veteran officers to back me."
