More than the intelligence possessed by the judge, Tom Head, to which we would come later, his argument shows he is convinced about Lubbock County having the most gullible populace in the world – they will buy anything you tell them. However, after careful review of facts, and considering the disbelief Tom Head must have experienced when elected as county judge by the same populace – he cannot be blamed for his radical conclusions – ‘these people must be crazy.’
So, what did the county judge actually say?
He expressed his meticulous logic live on Fox 34 News @ Nine in Lubbock on Monday night. His arguments were supposed to explain why property taxes in the county should be raised by 1.7 cents. And he argued that property taxes need to be raised because of what Obama might do if re-elected:
“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?” asked Tom Head.
What? Oh, what!?
“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.”
He actually ‘thinks.’ What a surprise!
“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.’”
He counts himself among the public, which is a decided improvement. But he understands he might play the martyr, but probably the public won’t.
“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.”
Okay, he recognizes the public in Lubbock County as a ‘bunch of rookies’ so they need to pay for his war games.
As a county judge in Texas, of course, Tom Head is the head of civil defense and disaster relief in the county – and also presides over hearings on admittance to state hospitals for the mentally ill and mentally retarded.
So, let’s consider his logic and its premises:
As a Republican, he believes civil war is unavoidable if Obama gets re-elected. Right? That’s the first premise of his argument.
Next, he believes raising property taxes would help fund defense against the imminent civil war. This is the second premise of his logic.
Third, he holds that the decision on raising property taxes must be made now so that future contingencies can be handled properly by the county. This is the third premise of his logic.
Since he wants the decision to raise property taxes to be made now to battle contingencies that are certain to occur if Obama gets re-elected, it seems to me he is saying Obama is certain to be re-elected, otherwise why raise the taxes?
Given that his clear purpose was Obama-bashing, his logic seems self-defeating. He seems resigned to the fact of Obama’s re-election – so property taxes in Lubbock County must be raised by 1.7 cents.
Summary:
To counter the threat of UN troops invading Lubbock County under Barack Obama’s dictatorship, the Lubbock county judge Tom Head wants property tax to be raised by 1.7 cents as he fears Obama’s governance might hand over the sovereignty of the United States to the UN.
Alot of people are convinced Obama is an anti christ. Never in the 30 yrs I’ve been watching politics have I seen this nation so polarized. It doesn’t matter what the facts or constitution say people are sticking to their side. Do I believe a civil war is coming? Yes, but not because of Obama. And unfortunately for the unarmed leftist in this country its the 120 million armed conservatives who will protect their rights when the government finally crosses the line in interfering with our families, our employment, and our GOD GIVEN RIGHTS, read your preamble, especially our right to bear arms. This has already happened in New Orleans, and the news said nothing. Our rights won’t be taken openly for all to see but with quiet conspiracies to keep the populace divided. All of us are under threat and whether Obama is an active part of this conspiracy or not I don’t know, but his administrations policies are pushing us closer to war. The only problem will be where does law enforcement stand when asked to enforce unconstitutional and illegal laws. I think we can by looking at the current Department of Justice and Eric Holder who won’t comply with congressional supoenas or enforce the immigration laws of the land.
The Right Wing is not just crazy….they are dangerous.
This man should be checked into one of the mental hospitals he’s supposed to be overseeing. I’m a Texan and very embarrassed to see something like this actually in print. I feel really sorry fr the Lubbock population.
IMPEACH OBAMA!
While Tom Head’s logic may be off base, your logic is no better. Your article (blog post?) shows your arrogance and how you must have had a few “ah-ha!’ moments before rushing to the computer to type this up.
THE MASTER
A person can not serve two masters at the same time. Catholics have a master in the Vatican. . Just remember that the Vatican is a foreign, hostile power to the US. All people when elected swear to uphold the Constitution. This is not possible for a Catholic.
Look to every nation south of the US and you will find two things: 1. Catholic 2 Failure. The Vatican has a record of a hundred nations and a thousand years of nothing but failure.
This religion will completely destroy the US from within. There is no possibility of recovery once dogma has destroyed a mind. Look to the south for proof.
The Constitution is secular (no religion) Keep it that way.
There are more Catholic in the D party than the R party. It is necessary to vote all Catholic out to restore the US and the Constitution of the United States of America.
The Catholic have formed a bloc across the R and D parties to pass laws favorable to the Vatican (A foreign, hostile power to the US).
The Vatican and the Catholic bible do not trump the Constitution. The President of the US does not need approval by the pope. . Keep the illegal aliens out, and make jobs for US citizens. Vote all of the R and D Catholic out (a third of congress!) and restore the US Constitution.
Ryan is Catholic. Romney is a wannabe Catholic.
Political correctness-another name for glossing over the truth.
The Vatican is a root that you have to watch, watch watch!
The Vatican does not believe in any woman rights.
One nation tells its citizens that it is good to violate the laws of another nation.
One nation tells its citizens that they cannot violate their own laws of dogma.
One natiion tells i’s citizens that they can invade another nation.
One nation tells its citizens that once they occupy the other nation, then all the laws will be changed to follow their dogma.
What is this nation? Answer The Vatican. The above describes an invasion by a hostile nation.
The Vatican does not negotiate, it subjugates. The Vatican is foreign, hostile nation to the US.
A third of the congress and senate are subject to the laws of the Vatican, and this is called dogma. Dogma cannot be discussed, it cannot be negotated, it is “the law of god” (the Vatican) and cannot be disputed. Romney is in bed with the Vatican. Ryan is a flaming Catholic.
Vote the third of congress out that place the Catholic bible above the US Constitution, and which they swore to uphold when they took office. These are traitors. Vote them out. Back on the farm they call these folks traitors.
Is it possible to give Lubbock county back to Mexico? Seriously the EPA should be checking the water and if that’s ok then the Education Department need to take a close look at the schools there.
The overriding headline should say “Texans are crazier than you feared they were”
This guy is an idiot and should be committed to a mental hospital. If I were on the receiving end of one of his “guilty” verdicts, I would do everything I could to get a retrial. He’ obviously crazy.
At last!!! A Republican that is willing to raise taxes to pay for a war they want!!!!
I can’t deny his impeccable logic. Regarding Obama, I’ve reached the same conclusions myself. But his plan of action is weak and unlikely to help. My solution is better. First, I covered the inside of my house with aluminum foil to prevent the United Nations and the FBI from sending in electronic beams to control my activities. Second, I have made contact with an extraterrestial intelligence on Alpha Centauri. They are the Guardians of Free Enterprise and Free Thought in the Universe. If Obama is re-elected, they will send help via induced gravitational fluctuations which will enable me to open a channel to the 5th through 8th Dimension Enclave. All true lovers of liberty can then repair to that refuge in preparation for the arrival of the Alpha Centauri Shock Troops. I know this sounds radical, but I’ve already conducted small scale testing and I am 98.546% certain that this will work.
My gods…. another texas loon… and a judge
loon at that… are they putting funny dust in the
drinking water?
“His arguments were supposed to explain why property taxes in the county should be raised by 1.7 cents.”
It would seem the author of this article isn’t any brighter than the sheriff.
I tell people I am preparing for a natural disaster, when in fact, I too am preparing for the same civil unrest. Obama is not even a citizen by birth, so in actuality, the People that elected him have swallowed his BS hook line and sinker.
It seems that the honorable judge from the great state of Texas has a few screws loose. My biggest concern is what do the fine citizens of Lubbock County feel about the judge wanting them to fund what seems like his own private army? Doesn’t that speak of a take over of Lubbock County government by the judge in itself? So who is really talking about starting a civil war? And I don’t think that the President of the United States has other things to do than to send in the “Black Helicopters of the UN” into Lubbock County. (By the way UN military colors are light blue.)
What an embarrassment for Texas
How embarrassing it must be right now to live in this county.
If he really thinks this way, he and those people who made him an electorate are dumb.
Racism is alive and well in Texas.
As a life long Texas residence born and breed in Texas this County Judge is BAT-CRAP CRAZY and the other judges and people of lubbock county should have him removed from office for instigating an act of armed revolt against the US. Again BAT -CRAP CRAZY
“Obama raised our county property taxes!” in 3, 2, …
See? That’s the problem when you elect a Socialist, Fascist, Communist, Muslin, Christian, basketball playing, UN loving, uh what? He’s black? OMGBBQFFS!
Did I forget to take my pills this morning? Or did I take two doses? Squirrel!
I would like to be compensated for the time i wasted reading this crappy piece. The content is absurd and the reporting of such is even more so. I just blocked this website from my life, bye, bye.
Not to far from the truth as I see it,and you could do with a less one sided approach.Oh wait you just write what they tell you!
The racism in this country is disgusting. Would anybody be saying “civil war” if we had a white president? No.
“As a Republican, he believes civil war is unavoidable if Obama gets re-elected. Right?” Is that his argument or is that your premise that Republicans believe that?
1st thing. Go get your guns and begin to kill illegal aliens and non tax paying citizens.
2nd thing. Vote for white people that are not racist and scam their previous profession and housing market.
3rd. Vote for people whom use their real name and social security #.
I see the author/writer failed Critical Thinking/Logic and Argumentation while attending his Diploma Mill.
The judge is a joke…so is the writer.
J D JOURNAL, NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH! Who wrote this crap?
After reading your “unbiased” reportage, I have decided to cancel any furhter emails of “JD Journal” to my inbox. Bye, bye.
