We have many friends at Free Republic and we're disappointed that machosauce was banned, but we do not know the entire story of his banning. However, EMFK is proud to promote and spread his message to the world.
Although, no celebrating should be done until we know this provision is absolutely removed and won't appear in any bills by some sneaky politician.
As for the "affordable housing provision", as we've pointed out...there are a lot of shady dealings for which ACORN has come under investigation with misuse of housing funds and voter registration funds.
