If he wasn’t talking to the church, then we could have no military or cops, and would just have to let our enemies kill us as we “turned the other cheek”

Christ was making a broad point, meant to be disseminated to ALL through his disciples. All bets are off when mankind forgets who that God comes before all else. That doesn't mean one should worship God and not care about money. But money should not be worshiped in front of God. Our situation right now is a great example of what he was concerned about. I would guess that the biggest thing on voters minds when they see Romney is that he will save them money relative to Obama. They are willing to overlook even a candidate who is willing to let mothers destroy God's gift of life, and not trust that if we just do the right thing by our conscience, God will have our backs.
