We're more dangerous to ourselves.

I'm not afraid of UN monitors watching me vote. Some, from countries where elections are usually rigged, or where one-party rule prevails, might go home and get some ideas about how to change what they have.

What frightens me more is the common assumption by the IRS, liberal media, and others is that whenever a Christian church makes a political statement (unless it's of a minority race supporting the left wing of the Democratic party), there's danger afoot. This is one example of what Nat Hentoff called the Left and Right in America trying to deprive the other of First Amendment rights.
