Newspaper Delivers Satanist Perspective Ahead Of Kansas 'Black Mass' PR Stunt

Dead-tree presents this perspective from professional troll organization that's, seemingly, working to improve Guv Kelly's image amid a legal fight with Catholics.

Here's the word . . .

"Our event, the Black Mass, is a cathartic expression of sorrow, rage and healing. Our cries are for autonomy, not to impose our will on others. This is a perfect moment for it. At a time when a majority in this country think the founders intended this to be a Christian nation, when it is becoming unsafe to have alternative viewpoints, and separation of church and state has eroded. Now, more than ever, we should be challenging what is considered “normal” and protecting those that are different.

"Then walks in Gov. Laura Kelly — a shining blue gem in a red state that has toed the progressive line. Very few Kansas Democrats want to speak ill of our governor, myself included.

"However, our permit to use the rotunda beneath the Kansas Capitol dome was changed by the governor’s office without consulting us or Capitol Police, while our Catholic oppressors were allowed to reserve the south steps. The letter from the office of the governor states: “We can offer the East or West Grounds. … No access to the steps is permitted.” Adding insult to injury, Kelly’s statement on the matter passed unnecessary judgment on our ceremony for not being “constructive” enough for her liking."
