I don't understand your hyper enthusiasm for this ambitious, self-promoting yuppie carpetbagger...
Thanks, Pelham - YOU are just about the only critic of Hugh's that actually has constructive advice for Hugh!
I also wish that he attacked the illegal immigration problem more directly.
Perhaps you can suggest a way to turn him around.
As for the basis my "enthusiasm" for promoting Hugh start with post #1, and TRY READING THE WHOLE THREAD. ;)
I would like to think that I would be equally as enthusiatic (almost!) in promoting Jerry Springer, or Geraldo, or Oprah here - if they did HALF as much for Free Republic as Hugh does.
Yeah, I do, and it's real simple: make him move his parents and his family into one of the neighborhoods that is being heavily impacted by immigration. Let them have to deal with the impact of the policies he is so complacent about. This is what has happened to me and my friends. I resent twits like Hughie who have let our cities deteriorate and become increasingly dangerous places. We never used to have "drive-bys"- this year there was a killing one block from my sister's house. We never had grafitti. Now my elderly parents have to paint over the crap on a weekly basis. Let Hewitt put his own family into the equation, then let's see this selfish yuppie spout his complacent do-nothing drivel.
How about this...
When the bloody terrorist attack comes that's traced to the Hezbollah cell in Mexico that comes and goes as it pleases over our Southern Border, we demand that Hugh write an apology to every one of the families that loses loved ones in part because of the conservative talk show hosts that couldn't figure out that Clinton was wrong on the colonistas too.
They're letting us down on this one. Big time.
