You could call the message near a Hanover County gateway a sign of the times in a nation with a growing intolerance for different political views.
The sign sits about four-tenths of a mile past the Henrico County border on Mountain Road, which is what Staples Mill Road becomes once you enter Hanover. The yellow background and red, black and blue lettering are hard to miss. So is the message.
HANOVER COUNTY
HOME OF PATRICK HENRY
CONSERVATIVES...WELCOME HOME
LIBERALS...?...THANKS FOR VISITING
Obscured by a plank beneath this message is the script identifying the sign as the handiwork of the Patrick Henry Tea Party. Perhaps that led a reader to question the sign.
“I would welcome an article probing the fault line indicated by this sign, as well as who is behind it. Its prominent placement on the county line really made it look like an official government statement,” the reader wrote.
