However, a group of dedicated young men, seeking to defend their women & culture while singing the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” would really get the Liberal’s ‘knickers in a twist’, right?

Heads exploding all over the News talk shows!

Oh, the Huge Manatee!

Better the pagan gods of our ancestors than satan and his Islamic minions.

What's with the Norse stuff, though?

Don't the Finns have their own Finno-Ugrian deities?

The highest deity mentioned in the Kalevala (the Finnish national folk epic) is the thunder god Ukko. He is only mentioned occasionally. There are several minor deities, like Ahti (sea deity) and Tapio (forest deity). There are so many nature spirits that the language has a special suffix (-tar) for forming their names. E.g., ilma=air, so Ilmatar is "air spirit."

In contrast to the folklore of many other countries, the characters in Finnish folkore and mythology are mostly people, though often with magic powers. Gods play only minor roles.

The article mentions a group called the "Sisters of Kyllikki." In the Kalevala, Kyllikki (a.k.a. the Maiden of the Island) was a hot babe who was most notable for her unfaithfulness. If they wanted a more noble name, they should have named themselves after the Matriarch of North Farm and called themselves the "Sisters of Louhi."

That explains Tolkien’s “Iluvatar.”

I would like it better if they chose to be soldiers of God instead of a pagan deity.

Yet roaming gangs of ‘Sharia enforcers’...

I’m SO glad the 21st century brought to death the strangle-hold of the media. Sure, they may have the major airwaves/papers, but they can not longer stop the release of personal/real-time video/pictures using proxies/VPN/file sharing/etc.

The truth IS getting out and the Left is SCARED.

Well, at least and unlike those of the Cross, they are fighting back. All over the world Christians are being slaughtered and doing nothing.
