U.N. to invade Texas? "Ridiculous," says world body
Reuters ^ | Aug 24, 2012 | Reuters

The United Nations scoffed on Friday at claims by a judge in Lubbock County, Texas, that U.N. troops could invade the southern U.S. state to settle a possible civil war, which the judge warned could be sparked if Obama is re-elected in November.

With the proliferation of drones, surely somebody is working on a home version of this:

He later added: "No one, not even the United Nations, would ever mess with Texas."

Yep.

So the sayin' goes, anyway.

I say Texas by at least 10 points.

Hell, at the very least, the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders are worth at least a field goal . . .

You ain’t kidding Sand Rat. I’d LOVE to see this. Oh yeah, a bunch of Dutch bi-sexuals and Pakistani cabdrivers in blue helmets taking on the good old boys in The Lone Star State. For once this Yankee would sure as hell be cheering on for the Rebs to kick their asses!

Scary is that we have people attacking this judge for making factual comments. I will believe a West Texas judge over a UN supporter anyday

UN = Unpunished Nazis

“They are convinced that each Texan is toting and has at least 15 more in his truck and at home and are born deadeye shooters.”

Well, maybe not all of us, but most of us and I’m a woman. Blue helmets are good targets so that would be a target rich environment.

Blue helmets are usually “peace keepers” and they run when the shooting starts - most Texans practice with retreating targets to be sure to hit them on the run.

“It is just the airborne stuff I worry about, both drones and manned.”

I read that Texas has more “safe” underground bug out places than any state. So, the airborne stuff couldn’t see our Texans unless they went out in the open. Think our guys would do night attacks, then scurry back home underground.

Don't confuse the government of MA with the people of MA. Boston/Cambridge isn't all there is, max. Even the liberal dems I went to school with in the Merrimack Valley hunt and know how to shoot.

And liberal Maine where I live now is more akin to that "rifle behind every blade of grass" thing than most people realize.

To hell with the Rangers, starting November first theres going to be several million Texans out in force and loaded for bear with some of the finest rifles money can buy. Rifles more accurate than what are US Snipers use now and calibers that are much flatter and faster. 300-378’s, 300 ULTRA’s, 300 Weatherby’s (my personal favorite), 300 Win Mag’s and a variety of other fast moving rounds. All in custom built rifles that would make the standard 308 platform look like a cheap Savage 110. On top of these rifles will be scopes costing as much as the rifle it’self, some with bullet drop compensaters that take the guessing out of long range shooting. Give these boy’s and some women I might add a 12 pack of Lone Star or a bottle of Crown and let the party start. A few million pissed off Bubba’s and Bubbette’s with rifles capable of 1/2 inch MOA at 200 yards is a formidal force to deal with.
Now that we have our sniper teams covered lets look at our assult teams. This where we break out our Hog Hunters, they like nothing more than dispatching as many hog’s as possible in the least amount of time and can’t wait for the sun to go down and hit the woods. Standard weaponry here is usualy something on an AR or AK platform in calibers 5.56, 25., 6.5. 7mm and 7.62. Allot of these rifles are equiped with IR and Thermal scopes if not them basic top end scopes are the choice. This bunch will bring their own beer and Whisky.
Then we bring our clean up troops in and this is the scariest bunch of all, usually by the time the job is over both them and their intended prey are covered in blood. We introduce them to the hogdoggers the craziest buch of folks you ever seen. They live to run the woods at night behind a mixed pack of Curs, Catahoulas and the Pit Bull catch dog’s. They don’t carry fancy rifles or scarey black rifles, custom knives with blades of 10 to 12 inches are their weapons of choice and I’ve personaly witnessed them swarm on a 300 lb pissed off Boar with 4 inch tusks and dispach them with a single strike. This is what they live for and the best part is they’ll supply you with beer and whisky just for letting them hunt your place.
I will say in summary that anybody thinking of invading our beloved TEXAS or any of our neighbors think long and hard, we ain’t just in TEXAS we’re throughout the South and can travel at a moments notice. Just make sure you have plenty of ice and Red Solo cups when we get there, Y’all have a great day!

And I bet they shoot better.

After years of trying to “show” ladies how to shoot, I am convinced the feminine gender has an ingrained sense of aim.
We guys more often do not and instead think we know the point of impact through projection rather than good aiming, “off the hip”, in other words.

You are probably right about UN “retreating targets”.

I am not worried about any of this taking place. Through its history in-spite of our giving any and everyone an excessive benefit of the doubt, America has shown an innate ability to overcome strong adversaries and tyrannical thieves like nobama. He is done. We are not.

“I am convinced the feminine gender has an ingrained sense of aim. We guys more often do not and instead think we know the point of impact through projection rather than good aiming, “off the hip”, in other words.”

Yes, women are more likely to hit the target than men are. Men want to shoot the bas—— immediately and women are more likely to aim, then shoot, keeping their eye on the target as they shoot.

The first time I went to a shooting range, I hit the target time after time and wondered what is the big deal about shooting, just aim and shoot.

I have hardened my front door and windows and if a zombie managed to get through those defenses, he would be so dead with a few hollow points in his body mass and one in his brain. If I have to use my gun, the target will never move again.
