Related: About this forumTea Party Supports Blatant Racism In Springboro, Ohio – Pushing Agenda To Dismantle USA (VIDEO)
By Nathaniel Downes July 15, 2013Dont believe the Tea Party is out to impose a religious theocracy? Wait till you see what their elected officials are supporting in Ohio. Pictured: Sonny Thomas, from Plunder Bund.
Citizens within the Springboro, Ohio school district are upset about the antics of the president and founder of the Springboro Tea Party, Sonny Thomas, who unfurled a Confederate flag this past Thursday at a school board meeting. And not satisfied with just that level of shock, he is reported to have said that African-Americans should consider themselves lucky since they are treated better in the United States than they would be if they were in Black Countries with genocide. But upon further digging, this was to be expected from the Springboro Tea Party founder. What is more stunning was that, despite the mans clear disruptive behavior, he was allowed to stay for the whole meeting while others the board deemed disruptive were removed.
Even a casual search of the group website reveals far worse material than just a Confederate link, as one can find an about us page which comes right out of the Sovereign Citizen handbook. Yes, this is a group of domestic terrorists plaguing Springboro, Ohio. But why was Mr. Thomas given such latitude after his disruption of the school board meeting? It turns out that the president of the school board is Dr. Kelly Kohls, Chairman of the Warren County Tea Party, who, with her vice-president, Jim Rigano, has already gone on record in support of controversial Tea-Party leaning Constitutional classes. Dr. Kohls is the same woman under fire for proposed replacing science education with religiously-based doctrine, as covered by WHIO TV...
Ever since the Tea Party movement was founded in 2002 by the Koch brothers, it has courted these form of anti-government radicals. They have played a very long-view game, creating think tanks and organizations decades earlier, which now serve as the foundation for their movement today. The Tea Party are just puppets at the end of Koch strings.

The farther we get away from secular and public education, the more this has grown.

We wish it wasn't, but this is not a joke. They have been taking over school boards for years. And they are building a parallel society in order to destroy ours.

These are the ones taking away women, minority and voting rights, destroying the Commons and threatening civil war. They are armed and have a really long hate list.

(5,279 posts)3. Confederate Flag?
Dumbass. Ohio was part of the Union.
freshwest
(53,661 posts)7. Confederate flags are not just for the South now. They are national symbols to baggers who hate the
US Government. For virtually the same reasons as the South left the Union.
It's a different social, religious and economic model than most of us grew up with. Equality to them is the philosophy of failure.
This flag is seen as more American than the American flag, as they see the US Government as illegitmate.
It's as much as sign of rebelling against oppression as the Gadsden flag. The American flag represents the IRS, socialism and as such is an attack on their freedom and liberty as they see it.
