In my warped little mind, I associate the peace sign with the 60’s anti-establishment movement to destroy the American way of life.

It symbolizes the core of the Obama’s philosophy which conservatives strongly disagree with.

Other than that, it’s just a scribble.

Yes, it reminds me too of the 60’s, but perhaps slightly in a different way.

It reminds me as you say of the anti-establishment, but sycophant, trendists of that era whom wanted so much to be part of, and be seen with the “In crowd”.

Yes that smelly, hairy, babbling bunch of idiots became an, and perhaps depending upon where one lived THE “In Crowd” of the era.

That symbol was, and actually is still today part of what unifies the hard core of what became a movement to a number of over the topper’s.

IMO had the Leftist Media not embraced the idiocy of the movement, the symbol, etc. which increased the exposure of the drugs and free love crowd as though it were simply another fad as was Hula hoop, Americans would be enjoying a more drug free, and less strained social environment.

I absolutely see red (multiple meanings there) when I see that symbol.

RE: "I associate the peace sign with the 60’s anti-establishment movement to destroy the American way of life."

That's exactly what I remember from the '60s.

Those Marxist-Alinsky hippie street rabble have taken over the Democratic Party and seem to dominate various aspects of our society; to wit, they seem to be "the Establishment."

That's (not too) funny -- the anti-establishment malcontents of the '60s are now "the Establishment" and they will tolerate no dissent! They are Marxist-Alinsky tyrants. It's what they do.
