(CNN) -- An elected county judge in Texas is warning that the nation could descend into civil war if President Barack Obama is re-elected, and is calling for a trained, well-equipped force to battle the United Nations troops he says Obama would bring in.


It's funny but while I can easily think of a Second Civil War novel that used a thinly disguised Hillary Clinton, I have yet to be send one featuring Obama in an analogous role.

In this classic SF novel



The Texans are motivated mainly by being Texan; their political police come across nearly as warm and lovable as the Stasi.

(This was one of the books that made me notice how often American Vice Presidents are presented as a villains, even administrations otherwise presented sympathetically; the Texans kidnapped the President with the aid of the VP, who has an eye on the top post for himself)

I suppose stories about black rapist muslim presidents planning to destroy the nation from within are still a bit strong meat save maybe for those who self-publish and Marvin Kaye.
