I'm getting bans all over SI today! Two in one day. I think that makes three bans in over 10 years of usage. People are quite sensitive on some subjects..... Someone else read this thread and see if you can tell what he's trying to say! Message 23565517 And don't try to look into what drives suicide bombers. People just don't like it! Message 23567478

re: "The bill ... calls for the creation of an 'affordable-housing fund' to be financed by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Those responsible for this provision maintain that the fund is intended to direct money toward housing programs that would benefit the poor. During the first year, a Finance Committee press release says, the money would be largely directed toward areas affected by Hurricane Katrina. "True enough. But there is a convenient catch for the Democrats. The money in the fund -- expected to total more than a billion dollars over the next five years -- would be siphoned through hard-left activists like ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). "ACORN is a fringe political group of the 'stop being so polite' variety, and it has a history of shady activity," the magazine said. Wonder where they got the idea... could it be from Bush's "Faith Based Initiatives"?
