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.”

That hate sure must keep you warm at night! Can't think of why else you'd bother.

Facts are one thing, emotion another. I can't say that I followed BorderlandBeat closely, but I read enough of their work to gain some understanding of what life in Mexico is like. Unfortunately, BB has been shut down.

There is little rule of law south of the border, and virtually none within 100 miles of the border. It is run by the cartels. And, as I alluded to, the Old Gods have as much, maybe more, sway than the New God, Jehova, or Christ.
In Mexico, cartels engage in running battles from time to time with government troops. And, sometimes, the dragon wins. Mexico City does not have the power to effectively rule all of Mexico. Or, the will, for that matter.

You prefer truth over facts too, huh?
