...sent his CFV to existing groups that were political, rather than musical, in nature, and he also failed to provide any evidence that there was enough interest in whitepower music to justify the creation of the group. Thus, the CFV became seen as a political attempt to railroad whitepower sentiment into the mainstream and was rightfully dismissed by many in the Usenet community as lacking the relevance which is necessary to garner a "yes" vote...
...film is well acted, and Duvall and Jones generate some genuine, tastefully understated chemistry without slipping into sloppy sentiment. Another plus is Irma Hall, who is wonderfully enjoyable as the testy, domineering, but open-minded and warmhearted Aunt T., the sister of Earl and Ray's dead mother.

After all, the Urban Institute has reported that legal immigrants put $25 billion a year more into the country, through taxes, than they take out through services. Simpson stated, however, that legal immigration should be curtailed to appease anti-immigration sentiment across the country. The fear that legal immigrants are using all of the hardworking Americans' money has taken hold of the country, even though the facts state differently...
