Forget the Nobel Peace is Leif Erikson day, people! Far from us to promote the conspiracy theory totally unfounded, but is it possible that Sweden has something against Norway? If not, how explain the fact that the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to President Obama at the Leif Erikson Day. Erikson is, as many will remember from his world history class, European North American soil before (well, Canada, the actual set of feet), make Christopher Columbus by nearly 500 years.
Ericsson and Norwegian based, Iceland 960, the son of Eric the Red (and therefore the last name) grew up in Greenland. 986 while running on the yacht of his new surroundings was named after him in Newfoundland. In 1964, Congress adopted a resolution authorizing the President (Lyndon Johnson was in the year), which declared that every October 9 Leif Erikson Day. Erikson has singled out but in reality, is the day to remember another set of travelers. This is the manifesto: In 1825 the boat in land rehabilitation in New York City after sailing for 3 months from Stavanger, Norway.
The 52 passengers on board, represented the first organized immigration of Norwegians to America. These brave people with the sea, following in the footsteps of the famous Grand Scandinavian researchers Leif Erikson. Throughout the Millennium ago, Leif Erikson son - grandson of Iceland and Norway - arrived in North America and founded the colony of Vinland, located in modern Canada. Today we celebrate the historic journey, and remember those who travel to America in distant lands. So on this day, as Democrats celebrate Obama's Nobel Peace Prize, and not the Republican Party, maybe everyone can at least agree to raise a glass of honey Meade in honor of Leif Erikson, a registered independent. No!
