When the church doors open, only white people will be allowed inside.
That’s the message the Asatru Folk Assembly in Murdock, Minnesota, is sending after being granted a conditional use permit to open a church there and practice its pre-Christian religion that originated in northern Europe.
Murdock council members said they do not support the church but were legally obligated to approve the permit, which they did in a 3-1 decision.
“We were highly advised by our attorney to pass this permit for legal reasons to protect the First Amendment rights," Mayor Craig Kavanagh said. "We knew that if this was going to be denied, we were going to have a legal battle on our hands that could be pretty expensive.”
City Attorney Don Wilcox said it came down to free speech and freedom of religion.
“I think there’s a great deal of sentiment in the town that they don’t want that group there," he said. "You can’t just bar people from practicing whatever religion they want or saying anything they want as long as it doesn’t incite violence.”

I always thought Blackwater should have continued on, without any name change. Own it. FUCK YEAH, `MURICA
I'm going to miss Trump. He was the only president in many decades to really get it, fighting for the American worker instead of just for corporations and unions. The powerful hated him because he interfered with the outsourcing, the H1B and illegal immigrants, and most other ways of impoverishing American workers. He also interfered with their corruption, with the Biden family scheme in Ukraine being just the tip of an iceberg. (we don't pay our senate enough to get non-corrupt members) For the powerful people that Trump fought, that was like pissing in their breakfast cereal. They were furious.
Our nation has some dark says ahead, with a senile Chinese asset in the whitehouse.
