Happiness is Lubbock, Texas, in the rearview mirror


That’s a line from an old country-western song.  It is more relevant than ever.

According to an article in today’s New York Times, County Judge Tom Head, who is evidently the county’s top elected official, said he was expecting civil unrest if President Obama were reelected.  He thought the President would send in U.N. troops to capture Lubbock.

Manny Fernandez, author of the article, quoted Judge Head from an interview on the local Fox station:  “He [the President] is going to try to hand over the sovereignty of the United States to the U.N.  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.”

Actually, Mr. Head, even if there were a U.N. plot to take over the world, I can guarantee  that Lubbock, Texas, is quite safe.  I’ve been there.  Nobody wants it.

  1. I too have been to Lubbock and the best part was in the rear view mirror. I must agree that Lubbock is quite safe from the U N, I can't imagine why anyone would like to invade them. Maybe steers.
