 | Editorials: Mute Acquiescence |
 oconnor writes "The time of Virginia Beach citizens standing in mute acquiescence is over.
Acquiescence means a silent submission or, submission with apparent consent. Mute means refraining from speech or utterance. To acquiesce means to comply quietly.
Does that describe you? "

| Letters: GOP's new logo turning left and showing its 'ass' to Tidewater |
 Editor:
The new RPV logo
What’s in a Logo Anyway?
Today the Republican Party of Virginia unveils their new party logo. I have a few thoughts as I pondered the “message” this new logo was communicating.
To begin with, the new logo communicates to me the reality that the Republican Party places their party high above “Virginia” and the lumbering GOP elephant is clearly trampling over “Virginia” as it continues its steady march towards The LEFT!
