That’s right. Republican Tom Head, judge (head of the county commission) for Lubbock County, Texas, has advocated a property tax increase to pay for beefed-up law enforcement.
Of course if you’re a Texas Republican calling for a tax increase, you’d better have a damn good reason. And Judge Head has one: the possible reelection of President Obama.
The judge said Obama will try to hand over US sovereignty to the United Nations.
“I’m thinking worst case scenario now,” Head said during an appearance on FOX 34 in Lubbock. “Civil unrest, civil disobedience, civil war, maybe. And we’re not talking just a few riots here and demonstrations, we’re talking Lexington, Concord, take up arms and get rid of the guy.”
“If the public decides to do that,” Head continued, Obama will send in United Nations troops and “I don’t want them in Lubbock County.
“So I’m going to stand in front of the armored personnel carriers and say, ‘You’re not coming in here.'”
“And the sheriff, I’ve already asked him, I said, ‘You gonna back me?’” the judge said. “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.”
In other words, the kinds of officers made possible by a 1.7 cent per $100-of-assessed-valuation property tax increase.
