Texas Judge Tom Head came under criticism and heard calls to retire following comments he made on FOX34 regarding needed funds to increase police forces in response to possible uprisings should Obama win reelection in November.
“He's going to try to hand over the sovereignty of the United States to the U.N., 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."
Head came under criticism not only for the proposed tax to counter the potential violence he sees, but also the implication that he might join in.
"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,'" the judge said. "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."
Letters came into Lubbock's newspapers, one reading "Message for Tom Head: Please resign now."
The majority of the outrage at Head's comments is the impression that he is advocating, or at least instigating violence against Obama. He strongly believes that Obama will use UN troops to implement control of his policies, and that that will result in an outraged lashing back from the American people. Main stream media sources see this sentiment as an irrational anti-Obama rant. Head has as of yet not backed down.
From The Avalanche-Journal:
As emergency management director I have to think of the worst-case scenario, and I used that as an example,” Head said.
In his opinion, the judge explained, the worst-case scenario, politically and financially, is if Obama and the Senate Democrats stay in power.
“Does that mean that I think the U.N. is going to come rolling into Lubbock? No, that probably is not going to happen,” Head said.
As a response to people who argued the county judge used his personal opinions to make political decisions, Head said all public officials bring their value systems into office.
“I cannot divorce my theology and my philosophy from my office,” Head said. “I am pro-life, I’m pro-gun rights and if you’re gonna vote for me and if you’re not for gun rights, then you probably don’t want me in office.”
Comments
I would join him if it came down to UN soldiers going into his town. We need a lot more Judges like him that will stand up against someone who wants to tear down our Constitution and Bill of Rights. I would be there right beside him..
We need more Judges like this one!
@HenryMassingale: Your entitled to your opinion but few of us believe your naivete. Obozo WOULD use UN troops to further his goal AND would set it up, for example, using his brown shirted panther punks to get something started to do so. He's an underhanded punk politician from Chicago who will stop at nothing he thinks he can get away with.
If pushed to the limit, there will be trouble. There WILL be states who will either see change or leave the union, and trouble WILL start, period.
only liberals lefties are asking him to resign because they know if we all think like this we would already have this administration under control and held accountable.
why should he back off the truth or resign? He is telling you the truth.
Judge tom Head as a Harris co resident you can count on my vote or my precious metal anytime you call, it is patriots like you and sheriff Arpaio that will save this country from the treasonous executive branch. they no longer govern with the consent of the people which is why the need for NDAA and the patriot act.
Whats all the hullaboo about , no UN troops , or for that matter , any troops , and there will be no problem . I will stand with the Americans , not the progressives , liberals , nor communists from the UN or anywhere else .
This is what I call an honorable judge.
It won't be just in Texas, it will be across the country by patriots, retired militry personnel, some active duty personnel who have taken an oath to defend our constitution from enemies foreign and DOMESTIC, i.e. Obama, hunters as well as any person with good red american blood flowing thru their vains. Then we need to weed the muslims out of our country...WHY? i.e. Because if Gen. Mac Arthur had not been stopped by Pres. Harry S. Truman we would not have to worry about the Chinese today. God Bless America!!!
