Any belief held to the extreme is wrong, be it religious, political or personal. Any kind of extremism is ultimately evil.

These two images are the party affiliations of elected officials who were guests on Fox News vs. PBS. In some cases I included lawmakers who were interviewed by a Fox News correspondent too. No kidding this is what they look like. PBS was almost perfectly 50/50.

FYI:
In 1916 the U.S. signed an agreement for control of St. Thomas, St. John & St. Croix, known as the “Danish West Indies,” in exchange for $25 million & a declaration that the U.S. would “not object to the Danish Govt extending their political & economic interests to the whole of Greenland.

After the Cold War, the US itself closed or sharply downsized many military facilities in Greenland, including Sondrestrom Air Base and early-warning radar sites. Denmark remained a loyal ally, and did not object to US presence. Claims of Danish security neglect are fallacious.
