You got to read this:

(CNN) -- An elected county judge in Texas is warning that the nation could descend into civil war if President Barack Obama is re-elected, and is calling for a trained, well-equipped force to battle the United Nations troops he says Obama would bring in.

The comments by Lubbock County Judge Tom Head, who oversees emergency planning efforts, were broadcast by CNN affiliate KJTV. He made similar remarks on radio station FOX Talk 950.

Saying that as the county's emergency management coordinator he has to "think about the very worst thing that can happen and prepare for that and hope and pray for the best," Head told radio host Jeff Klotzman that he believes "in this political climate and financial climate, what is the very worst thing that could happen right now? Obama gets back in the White House. No. God forbid."

hey guys i came across this really interesting video that deals with all the bullshit that goes on behind the scenes before debates, including strange agreements between candidates as well as reasons for excluding people not part of the two major parties. it talks about how crooked the commission on presidential debates really is. this is a must watch guys...

^^Judge Head needs to have his examined. I'm not sure on what facts he's basing his imagined scenario, but he brought fear mongering to a new level.

I saw that article yesterday. I understand the freedom of speech but for a judge is that even ethical? Isn't that something like inciting a riot should an outbreak of some kind occur? One thing for sure, it's scary.

In most jurisdictions judges never publicly weigh in on policy matters. To maintain a proper, judicial temperament, judges, even if elected, know how to hold their tongues, and try to limit public discourse to the bench.

It sounds like most of the people in Lubbock are humored or embarrassed by the judge, so the violent revolt will have to wait.

I'm surprised Judge Head didn't address Obama's birth certificate or label him a Muslim.

I thought in the same lines. Say other nutjob Orly Taitz or the like, brings an Obama birth certificate case in front of this judge. I mean any doubt how he'd rule???? Duh!! He should be embarrassed/ashamed he even opened his mouth.

TIS

I sure hope the Secret Service gives this guy the deepest cavity search of all time! Isn't what he's saying considered a threat against the president??

Kly, such a judge presides over the county's governing body which is the commissioners court. Such judges have constitutional jurisdiction over misdemeanors and civil cases. They also hear appeals from JP and municipal courts as well as de novo. In urban counties, they practice as administrators; in rural counties they practice more as judges.

Heard on tv that it's looking more likely that hurricane won't hit Tampa?? Seriously though, wouldn't it be safest for the RNC to just move to another location? It's not worth taking the risk is it? At this point, and with the time so near AND the fact that they said they had a plan B, I'd go with plan B.




TIS

Probably too late to move to a completely new location. I'm surprised that anyone would schedule a big event like this in Florida in late August/September.

Just saw this ad today.

Really, Rush?? You've GOT to be kidding.

Despite how outlandish the claim seems, Limbaugh said on his program Wednesday that "The National Hurricane Center, a government agency, (is) very hopeful that the hurricane gets near Tampa." This is because, according to Limbaugh, "The National Hurricane Center is Obama. The National Weather Service is part of the Commerce Department," he says. "It's Obama."

The radio host added, "we don't need the National Hurricane Center. We don't need all these weather dolts analyzing this (the hurricane) for us." So, Mr. Limbaugh, does that mean that the public should listen to you, and your expert meteorological opinions? You do have a degree in meteorology, right? Right?

Hurricane Rush .

He's already a blowhard.

Irish President Give US conservatives a piece of his mind

Ha ha ha ha!! I heard that but didn't believe it til I read it. Sadly, some nutjobs will actually believe it. The gospel according to Rush.

TIS

Another story in which I saw the headline but didn't read/listen to audio. Wow, that was great. I don't know this Irish President but I found him very impressive.


TIS

Ya'll may remember that Pat Robertson opined that the devastation of New Orleans as a result of Hurricane Katrina was God's punishment for that city's sinful ways. Is God sending Isaac to punish Tampa or the GOP or both?

Don't lower yourself to his level, Oli. You're better than that .

Romney, yeah Romney, He's got that presidential look to him,,,, that presidential hair

Outstanding oratory. What I found most interesting was that whenever the host attempted to interrupt or stop him, the president's argument became more forceful and swift.

Yes, those white wings like Paulie Walnuts. Paulie dressed better.

So, what did ya'll think of the speeches last night? Fox commentators seemed less than enthusiatic about them. Brit Hume was the only one who seemed otherwise.

I enjoyed Ann Romney. I thought she did a good job of coming off as "down-to-earth."

But she's not the one running for President .

I wasn't able to watch the coverage last night. I would like to hear Paul Ryan tonight. The conventions usually give a nice bump in the polls to their candidates. It will be interesting to see if Romney can generate momentum from this week.

That is so interesting: someone wants to be President, but someone else has to explain them to the voters.

As long as he gets a bump in Florida and two other swing states, it's all that counts. Everyone else has made up their mind.

I also enjoyed Ann Romney's speech, I passed out halfway through Christie's (not because it was bad or anything) so I cant speak too much on that. But from what I have gathered he basically laid a little groundwork down for himself for a possible future run, he didnt even mention Obama during his speech and didnt mention Romney until 16! minutes into it.

Dont believe the hype that it was Obama who blew up the debt. He did contribute to it, but not as much as some people want you to think.

A good analysis. One thng for members to keep in mind is that the FY 2009 federal budget was prepared by the Bush Administration. Prepearation of federal budgets by the Obama Administration did not begin until FY 2010.

In any case, most people focus on the increase in the National Debt. They don't realize that it is funded debt the interest payments on which only amount to about 6% of the annual federal budget.
