In western Minnesota, we have many Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish descendants who are now now firmly American! The women are beautiful and tough - the men hard-working and dedicated to their communities, families and local watering holes. These are the real Americans. God love 'em! The Somalis are the worthless leeches we want to send back.

My ancestors were some of the Swedes who came over. They settled in Pine River, MN and were butter makers

John Morton was a Finnish Swede, we of Finnish ancestry are proud of this man. The Andover Lutheran church in Andover Illinois was the mother church of the Augustana Synod and I was confirmed in that church...and the Jenny Lind Chapel is very near to the big church. tack and thanks

Och så jämför PK-Sverige dessa svenskar med dagens gapiga, krävande, lata lyxmigranter från arabländerna som väller in i landet och kräver ett liv i lyx på vår bekostnad.
