It is the duty of every American to abrogate a tyrannical federal government. I believe we’re far past the point of no return.

Just posted this on yesterday's thread but will edit it to use the WFTD. While Obama/Kerry attempt to abrogate the existence of Israel, American Jews do not generally appear to GET IT, but it seems Israelis, both right and left, DO get it and support Bibi's refusal to buckle to US demands. Even the left wing Israeli papers were excoriating Obama yesterday.

Those of us who wish to have him abrogate his usurped power have noticed that he keeps arrogating more.

Good article. Maybe my fellow Hebrews will finally wake up. Those tunnels are tough to deny, even for those in denial.

Democrats keeps talking about how they will “overturn” the Hobby Lobby decision. Apparently they don’t know the difference between overturn and abrogate, as it applies to Supreme Court rulings.
