This is who wants to take away the scary semiautomatic rifles from us and give fully automatic variants to al-Qaeda elements in Syria.

please Mr. IRS auditor, my mistake wasn't intentional let me go
The more information that comes out, the more it looks like Diane Feinstein may be "the man behind the curtain" after all.
"I never thought there were any limits to my authority, so any so-called abuses were completely unintentional."
