Responding to Tom Head on Cape Independence

Dear Tom Head,

In response to your article “Independence for the Western Cape? ‘Ridiculous’ debate slammed again” published on the 15th of June 2020 on the South African, I would like to reply to some of the points made.

The Cape Party’s low electoral performance isn’t actually an indicator of demand for secession. If electoral victory was an indicator of the virtues of a party, then Van Damme…

Official Stirs Texas City With Talk of Rebellion

By Manny Fernandez, NY Times, August 27, 2012 LUBBOCK, Tex.--A hearing on a proposed tax increase had just started at the county courthouse here Monday when Grace Rogers, a retired teacher, addressed local leaders. Ms. Rogers said she supported the idea of increasing the property tax to 34.6 cents per $100 valuation from 32.9 cents to finance the hiring of additional sheriff's deputies--with one reservation.

It was that, she said, "it does not fund a paramilitary to create an insurrection and rebellion against the United States."

Her comments might have sounded absurd at some other time, in some other place. But these days in Lubbock, a West Texas city known as the birthplace of the 1950s rock 'n' roll pioneer Buddy Holly, Ms. Rogers's request was timely and appropriate, under the circumstances.

A few days before, the county's top elected official, County Judge Tom Head, made an appearance on a local television station to generate support for the tax increase. He said he was expecting civil unrest if President Obama is re-elected, and that the president would send United Nations forces into Lubbock, population 233,740, to stop any uprising.

"He is going to try to hand over the sovereignty of the United States to the U.N.," Mr. Head said on Fox 34 last week. "O.K., what's going to happen when that happens? I'm thinking worst-case scenario: 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."

And if the president did send in United Nations troops, Mr. Head continued, "I don't want 'em in Lubbock County. O.K. So I'm going to stand in front of their 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?' He said, 'Yeah, I'll back you.'

"Well, I don't want a bunch of rookies back there," Mr. Head said. "I want trained, equipped, seasoned veteran officers to back me."

Mr. Head, a Republican who serves as the county's emergency management director and presides over the commissioner's court, made international headlines. He has not apologized, though he said that his statements were taken out of context and that he was using civil unrest only as an example of how he must prepare for worst-case scenarios.

To many in Lubbock, the notion of United Nations armored personnel carriers rolling down the brick-paved Buddy Holly Avenue, past the Greyhound bus station and the Disabled American Veterans thrift store, has been an outrage and an embarrassment.

Gilberto Hinojosa, the chairman of the Texas Democratic Party, publicly questioned Mr. Head's "mental competency to hold elected office."

Ms. Rogers, 74, said after the hearing that she took matters further, placing a phone call to the Secret Service. "There is an element in this city that is so anti-Obama that I think they have lost grip a little bit on reality," she said.

Civil War in America?

August 24, 2012

nicHi douglas

Texas Judge Tom Head told Fox News that he fears that the reelection of Obama will result in an American civil war. What an insensitive thing to say, what with the actual civil war taking place in Syria right now.  Not only is it insensitive, it’s preposterous. Judge Head thinks that this:

Will lead to this:

That these folks:

Would let this happen:

This guy:

Causing this:

Call me naïve, but I don’t buy it.

Texas Judge Warns Civil War If Obama Is Re-Elected

http://www.facebook.com/hoodnews247

"Texas Democrats are calling for the resignation of a Republican elected county judge who warned this week that the nation could descend into civil war if President Barack Obama is re-elected. "It's really up to Judge (Tom) Head to do the right thing and resign and stop embarrassing Lubbock County," said Kenny Ketner, who became the county Democratic Party's chief Monday. "I wish we were getting worldwide attention for something better than a crazy county judge," Ketner told CNN. "But what are you going to do?" There is no recall process for Head's office in Texas, Ketner said. Judge's 'Civil War' remark outrages Dems The county's Republican Party chief, Carl Tepper, accused the Democrats of "opportunism" and said he had called Head and left him a message offering "moral support." "I don't agree with him, but everyone has their opinion," Tepper said. "I can respectfully disagree with him and he can still be an elected official."" - CNN
