Piper's views on women are well documented. i think a better reason not to vote for palin has been documented now that campaign advisors have the permission to speak freely (even if it gets them fired. it happened) btw: less than a few weeks into the campaign and the advisors realize her incompetency as a vp and they continue to try to sale her as qualified. country first? sounds like deception. how many african americans have run for president? Shirley Chisholm (Democrat) 1972 Jesse Jackson (Democrat) 1984 Alan Keyes (Republican) 2000 Carol Moseley Braun (Democrat) 2004 Al Sharpton (Democrat) 2004 obviously none on these have had the same result as obama. did he allude that obama was essentially the judgement because he is pro choice? he does make a good point of advocating for the gospel in tough economic times. piper contradicts himself theologically in this video. can anyone spot it? its subtle verbiage, but is direct contrast to an article by him. while i agree with piper in not investing our whole selves in who we vote for and the prophetic perspective i do have issues with his thought process here:

how many african americans have run for president?
Shirley Chisholm (Democrat) 1972
Jesse Jackson (Democrat) 1984
Alan Keyes (Republican) 2000
Carol Moseley Braun (Democrat) 2004
Al Sharpton (Democrat) 2004

obviously none on these have had the same result as obama.

did he allude that obama was essentially the judgement because he is pro choice?

he does make a good point of advocating for the gospel in tough economic times.

piper contradicts himself theologically in this video. can anyone spot it? its subtle verbiage, but is direct contrast to an article by him.
