In the 60's/70's the hippies (now in charge) had the infamouse "peace symbol", rightfully named "the footprint of the American chicken" by conservatives and patriots.
They hid behind this "peace" movement because of one thing - they were scared they would be "drafted" and sent to Vietnam. So, they joined the long-haired flower children and did a bill clinton and dodged the draft, letting others do their fighting and dying so they could smoke dope and protest.
Well, the only difference in them then and now is, they have cut their hair and put on suits. But the socialist, victimhood, ideology is hanging in there.
But the dope residue must be hanging around as they never matured out of the "alinsky" stage, and still dream of utopia and Big Rock Candy Mountain. Mature people know that those things are as impossible as perpetual motion...there is always going to be "friction".
