Has anyone seen my HOA?

Yes, and many Native American nations also used the symbol for centuries before the Nazi's got ahold of it as well. Personally, I think it's a really cool and amazing little symbol, but the damned Nazi's went and ruined it for everyone.

Isn't that what the Nazi symbol did to the much older Buddhist symbol? Even though they are different.

Most point to Hindu for it's origins, but it was used all over the globe for centuries by many different cultures until the Nazi's turned it into a symbol of distain. More than a few Native American cultures have used the symbol for thousands of years.

Most of the symbology used by Hitler and the Nazi's originated from scandinavian beginnings. They suited Hitler's vision of the perfect arian race as they derived from what he saw as 'pure stock'.

Sorry, but I had to deal with a little bit of white supremacy garbage when I was LE, and it always pissed me off to no end to see symbols from my heritage being used by those idiots.

I'm not sure I would categorize the current use of the Gadsden in the same league as what the Nazi's did. I see it more of an extension of historical beliefs being represented in a modern day. What the Nazi's did was pure perversion.

Of course it was, but the comparison was to check the validity of some organization wiping the slate on thousands of years of history.

I don't want to have to be associated with a party, in order to express my appreciation of freedom. Even if it is a "party" that I currently am in support of.

welcome to the other side of the first Amendment

I don't like that one of the most significant religious symbols of my peoples history is now associated with Hatred, ignorance and racial/religious intolerance.

Just as I am sure that Many people feel that the confederate battle flag was a symbol of State Sovereignty and not racial Bias or slavery.

I look at it this way, you don't have to be a member of the tea party to want to express the same message to D.C. that they are.
