Interesting.
I wonder if there are contingency plans for a “New Israel” in the Nevada desert?
Finns are great people, none of the ones I have as cousins had any trouble with English.
Alaska became a state in 1959.
Hmmm ... let’s see ... Brits in Seattle (they like rain). Germans in Wisconsin and Minnesota and Missouri ... Scandinavians in NH/VT/Maine/Alaska ... Italians in NY/FL ... French in NY ... Iberians in CA/AZ
Now where do WE go?
Giving Stalin so much assistance and deference was foolish. Millions of Europeans suffered for pinko FDR's policy.
DemoRats, a commie's best friends.
Alaskans in congress?
This was a decent story till I read the year...1940....and reviewed my Alaskan history book...1958 was when Alaska reached statehood. They had NO senators to represent them, and obviously the same story for representatives.
So, if this story is true...then there’s more to it. It wasn’t Alaskan representatives...then who stood against it? Since we know that the Democrats had 61 percent control over the House, and Sam Rayburn from Texas ran passage of bills...it’s a very likely chance that Texas Democrats stood against this idea.
Perhaps a deeper review of this moment of history is in order.
I tell you what, if those Finns became US citizens, we would have won every Olympic Gold Medal in Ice Hockey.
Not at all the Somalis now being imported to Alaska by NGOs - like Catholic Social Services. They do not speak English and most are mostly muzzies (yup, Anchorage will get its first Mosques this year)
Interesting. Is Central Alaska the most similar type of geography to Finland in the United States? I would have thought Minnesota or Northern Maine.
