“It’s possible that the value into perpetuity of electing an African-American will outweigh the harm of one president’s policies over 8 years.”

I must be from another planet because I am not even in the same universe of how people are thinking.
Here is a Piper who wants to seriously suggest that a President, if he stays on the throne of the imperial presidency for eight years, will have a greater value into perpetuity then the demerit that will be the case as he rules over the death of over 10 million unborn human beings, and this presumably all because of the level of melanin in his skin.
And that is just one policy. Never mind all the damage of the other brainless policies that we are going to get from a Marxist Obama administration. I’m sorry but this is not thinking that originates from the mind but rather it is thinking that originates from the sphincter.
And while we are at it, let me say that I have no interest in unifying around the President-elect, unless some kind of basis is offered upon which my unifying can stand. Now, I will pray for this man, I will hope for the best in his policy decisions, I will be respectful to the office, but I will not unify with the President simply because the man is black. Have people lost their collective senses?
If we really were a color blind society none of us would care that we elected a black guy. But because America still deals with racial issues, and still suffers from this unexplainable white guilt, there is a large expectation out there that Americans have some obligation to unify because a black man has been elected. Well, unifying be damned. I am not going to drink the kool-aid of Marxism just because the bartender pouring the drinks is some black guy.
Americans are soon going to realize that they elected the wrong Black guy. If they wanted somebody with a higher melanin level in the White House they should have gone with J.C. Watts, Ward Connerly, Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas or any number of non Marxist black people. As it stands the failures of the policies that Barack Hussein Obama is going to pursue may set back race relations in this country 30 years as white people may over-react to the failures that we are going to see. We are seeing this kind of Phenomenon in Europe with the rise of the British National Party and other like National parties committed to preserving the historic ethnicity and culture of the country where these parties are rising.
For my part, as it concerns the Presidency, the melanin level in skin is irrelevant. As a man thinketh in his heart so he is. The problem in an Obama presidency will not be the color of his skin but the color of his thinking, and Obama’s thinking is as black as night.
Actually Obama is the worst thing that could have happened to the black community as he embodies all their worst pathologies. From the killing of their seed to the embrace of victim status that deserves to be compensated Obama will only exacerbate the problem of race relations in this country.
By the time Obama is done being President the race relations in this country will be more tense then they have been for a generation. People don’t see that now, because now is the time to “feel the love.”
The stupidity of all this makes my head ache.
Perhaps Mr. Piper would like to argue for the legitimacy and perpetual value of something like Solomon’s polygomy based upon racial barriers he broke.
How did we get here?
How did we get here?
And God turned them over …
Well, there are a few of us on that other planet you are from, so you’re not alone.
I’m glad someone else is resisting the creepy “unity” twaddle being pushed from every corner. I do not love Big Brother.
Don’t say any of this around other white Christians…they’ll think you’re racist.
Oh Lord, how long?
I’ll put up with them calling me racist if they’ll put up with me telling them that only a dumbist would call me a racist for telling the truthist.
Our household received an email forward which contained a video of John Piper himself discussing the election. The first thing he said was how great it would be if we elected a black President. So this kind of thinking must be a topic of discussion at Piper get-togethers.
It’s a load of crap, of course. If the incoming President is a cultural Marxist, I do not care if the USSA elects a Cherokee or a Martian or an elf or a gorilla.
The fact that Obama is half-African is not as interesting as that, as a “black” man”, he fits in so well with the establishment. Lawyer, Harvard-educated, from the Chicago political machine, Senator, CFR member. He fits in excellently in the highest levels of Washington DC.
If the Pipers had a clue, they would follow the money and follow the personal connections. That’s what a wise serpent would do. Instead they are being as innocent as doves and as ignorant as dodos.
Joshua,
I saw that video of Piper of which you speak.
There were several things in that video that made me cringe. His pessimistic pietistic premillennialism covered the whole monologue.
I finished the video and I thought, once again, “And this is our leadership?”
Piper is in love with skin color.
