We could combine the two into one - The Mother of Dominion? (no, Pat Robertson would object). Or The Old Mother ? The Old Mother of Presidents ? I know there are those of you out there that could do better than my lame attempts.

In honor of Virginia's well-known sons:

"Strike the tent" here. Or
Pass over, and rest under the shade of the trees.

The Old Dominion and Mother of Presidents are NOT Virginia's "motto." They are nicknames given to the state.

Virginia’s motto, Sic Semper Tyrannis (Latin for "Thus Always to Tyrants"), appears on the Seal of the Commonwealth, as well as the State Flag.

Sorry to rain on your parade. My ancestors were here in the late 1600s. We don't like to change.

A bit topical, but:

"Yes, tough guy, we have concealed carry and lots of guns but it doesn't help against snipers shooting from Chevy Caprice trunks."

Admittedly, it'd be tough to fit on license plates.

"Father of shall-issue CCW"

"Sportsmen for Warner" (It seemed to be the motto during the election, I sure saw enough signs like that)

"Virginia: Most executions East of the Mississippi"

"Liz Taylor is NOT our First Lady anymore"

"Independent cities, Independent minds"

"Home of the NRA"

Did you finally get rid of that "Virginia is for lovers," thing? Always thought that was a little absurd, considering the name of the state.

Best state motto: "With God all things are possible." (Ohio, my home state. Woo-hoo!)

Worst state motto: "Womanly words, manly deeds." (MARYland. Now, that's wussy state motto!)

By the way, Ohio has had 8 presidents--all of them Republican! I have a feeling that another Ohio Republican (Ken Blackwell) will be the 45th President.

I always thought the state motto was "Radar Detectors Illegal"

Virginia--Where American history began!"

"Virginia--No, Not the Land of Lincoln, rather Lee and many executed cons
