True nationalism may be dying out, slowly. Khadaffi has renounced the Arab Nation, for one example. Nationalism in America as opposed to American nationalism never amounted to much and is probably illegal even though some here and there try to keep it going. Nationalists seem to be bucking the tide, but it's past time to move on.

Odin means literally 'the one.'

I thought Odin was a cigar ;-)

Right! Cats R Freya!

"Norse legend tells of Freya, whose chariot was pulled by two black cats. Some versions of the tale claim they became swift black horses, possessed by the Devil. After serving Freya for 7 years, the cats were rewarded by being turned into witches, disguised as black cats. The cats also played around her ankles as a symbol of her domesticity.

"Freya owned the precious Brisinga-men's necklace, which she acquired by sleeping with four dwarves. DASCHLE AND DEMO-RAT CANDIDATES NO DOUBT. She also owned a feather coat which she could use to fly between the worlds. Freya was also known as the goddess of magic and divination.

"Freya was one of the few Norse female characters who had a major role, an exception to the general rule of lower status for goddesses compared to gods. She was revered by women. Some sources say Friday is named after her.

"Both Aphrodite and Freya are goddesses of love and fertility/reproduction. In keeping with the apparent Norse acceptance of infidelity, Freya is much more a goddess of lust, being identified with sexual freedom. In this way she was almost identical to Aphrodite, as both were well-known for their numerous partners. "---end quote---

Hmmmmmm....Norse religions sound like more fun than Islamism, or Buddhism for that matter.

"..they were some pretty bad ass mo fos in their day...."

They certainly were. Now if this "viking religion" can save the scandos from their whole peace/love/sex/depression/socialist thing they've had going on for a while I'm all for it.

We need those big whities to FIGHT for the WEST, and not cave to the Islamofacists.

GO VIKINGS!

(married to a 1/2 scando and mother of a 1/4 scando, they'll get the job done, if only they get straightened out in the old country)

Peaceful like the Sioux in Dances with Wolves.

Peaceful like the Lahkota or Oglala in Dances with Wolves, if you please!
