What would Michelle Obama do if she were called sweetie? WWMD? TRIBUNE-REVIEW By Salena Zito
A tip of the hat to Ben Smith over at Politico for reporting that Sen. Barack Obama referred to a female reporter in Detroit as "sweetie" when answering her question. Actually, when not answering her question.
Kind of makes you wonder how wife Michelle would feel if she were referred to as "sweetie"?

Run, instead of stand up and fight??
A moot point as no one would call her “Sweetie” anyway.
Than why did Jesus say "Sell your robe and buy a sword"?
To cut the fish and loaves of bread?
To cut your fingernails?
Why did the disciples of Jesus carry swords? To look decorative?
You presume to read his mind and ignore his words!

I never run to the hills -
Let us remember these quotes were all transcribed from words that some people heard or others relayed orally - and then were rewritten again in different languages.
Adding your personal interpretation and downplaying or disregarding certain words of Jesus is putting on a spin and filter that suits your personal opinions - no more.
It is my belief that the politically correct , liberal , progressive lefties have broken everyone of their own comandments just to show us what it looks like to be incorrect .

Run and hide
"Watch it, sucka!"
Yes, and that remark has a context and a point; you have ignored the former and missed the latter, it seems.
Jesus did not say “Tie a millstone around their neck and throw them in the sea”. You have distorted what He said in order to justify your philosophy.
Both of his actual remarks were made in two different contexts for two different purposes. If you are interested in following his words, you will be less interested in trying to reshape His teachings to fit your philosophy, than you are in reshaping your philosophy to fit His teachings.

You missed His point, as the disciples did, which is why Jesus ended the conversation.
Reread the passage repeatedly; there is a reason he gives the teaching he does, and it is not the one you are supposing.
If you will notice, the one time one of the disciples (Peter) uses a sword, he is rebuked by Christ.
He missed Christ’s point; he needed a rebuke so that he, (and future believers) would clearly understand what Christ’s point earlier really was.
Ron Franklin got FIRED by ESPN for saying something pretty similar.
Can we get ESPN to fire Obama?
