			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>That&#8217;s a provocative headline, I realize, but it&#8217;s a question I am beginning to wonder if it&#8217;s time to raise, with my principle reason for asking being the fact that we may need to think about the appropriate way to respond to the concerns Charmaine Yoest raises in this article about the likelihood that the Hyde Amendment&#8212;prohibiting federal funding for abortions&#8212;will be effectively overturned through the President&#8217;s proposed health care reform:</p>
<p><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703862704575100091815276712.html?mod=WSJ_newsreel_opinion">Abortion and the Health Bill<br />
</a></p>
<p>I believe that anything as radical as this needs to be thought through very, very carefully, using the lens of the Word of God as our template.  We have no warrant to stop paying our taxes because we are irritated with government (I&#8217;d have stopped doing that a long, long time ago if that were the case; wouldn&#8217;t you?).  We have no warrant to stop paying taxes just because we disagree with policies; ditto the above.  But if/when the government takes <strong>my money</strong>&#8212;and that&#8217;s what taxes are, <strong>my money</strong>&#8212;to kill babies?  That raises the stakes&#8212;considerably.  And thus I ask, if Obamacare passes and includes such an abomination,</p>
<p><strong>Is it indeed time to begin to talk about a tax revolt?</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Submitted: There is a shortage of available organs for transplant use.</p>
<p>Submitted: People die needlessly because of this fact.</p>
<p>Submitted: Christians ought to be concerned with such; we ought to do what we can to alleviate suffering.</p>
<p>Submitted: Therefore, all Christians ought to be organ donors (generally speaking).</p>
<p>Submitted: <strong>People who are willing to themselves be organ donors ought to be first in line to receive organs should they need them. </strong>Isn&#8217;t this just reasonable?  Person A needs a liver, and Person B needs a liver, but Person A has designated himself an organ donor, while Person B isn&#8217;t willing to share his organs with others.  Which person ought to have &#8220;dibs&#8221;?  Easy call.</p>
<p>Therefore, be it resolved: <strong>We ought to join an organization that enables just this thing to happen.</strong> LifeSharers is just such an organization.  It takes less than 10 minutes to join.  Your organs&#8211;should, perish the thought, you die in a sudden accident&#8211;will be given first to people who are themselves willing to donate organs (it should be added that you in no way sign away your right to give an organ to a family member; this is covered in the membership packet).  Joining LifeSharers costs nothing.  Every person ought to do it.  Why wouldn&#8217;t you?  So&#8230;here&#8217;s the link:</p>
<p><a href="http://lifesharers.org">LifeSharers</a></p>
<p>If you do, would you just leave a comment saying, &#8220;I joined, Byron&#8221;?  I&#8217;d appreciate it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At least for some folks&#8230;</p>
<p>America is in the midst of genocide, and a significant portion of the victims of genocide are African-American kids.  Of <a href="http://www.byron-harvey.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Black-Children-abotion.jpg" rel="lightbox[2847]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2849" title="Abortion Race Card" src="http://www.byron-harvey.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Black-Children-abotion-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>course, I&#8217;m talking about the holocaust of abortion.  And one outfit has begun to advertise in the Atlanta area about the fact that</p>
<p><a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,585843,00.html?test=latestnews">Black Children are an Endangered Species</a></p>
<p>The connected website is <a href="http://www.toomanyaborted.com/">TooManyAborted</a>, and it tells the stories of how little black kids are being murdered in the womb, as well as the story of the <a href="http://www.toomanyaborted.com/?page_id=13">Negro Project</a>, a plot initiated by the white supremacist Margaret Sanger, who began Planned Parenthood.  The truth is devastating, of course&#8230;which is why liberal feminist loons will be up in arms.</p>
<p>Check that: one already is.  Here&#8217;s the quote by Spelman College professor Beverly Guy-Sheftall:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;To use racist arguments to try to bait black people to get them to be anti-abortion is just disgusting.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>OK&#8230;let me get this straight, Ms. Guy-Sheftall: it&#8217;s <strong>not</strong> racist to abort millions of little black kids in an effort, begun by Ms. Sanger, to racially-cleanse American society, but it <strong>is</strong> racist to call attention to that fact.  She went on:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Many black people don&#8217;t know who Margaret Sanger is and could care less.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>OK&#8230;so instead of educating people as to who she was and her agenda, you&#8217;d rather leave members of your own race in the dark about the vile agenda she promoted.  Oh, and <strong>you</strong> are an <strong>educator</strong>?</p>
<p>Down is up, and up is down, apparently for the Ms. Guy-Sheftalls of the world&#8230;</p>
