He can believe he is, and you can believe it to, but he's not.
Also, we right wingers know Atlanta is a leftwing city. We've known that for years.
We're not as stupid as you and Tom like to imagine we are.
They don’t care. That party has been taken over by a brood of vipers and has therefore become a den of thieves.
I know, GC.
Going all born Christian on them isn't going to help either.
Like you said, they simply don't care.
Don't save them. Let them rot.
Well, at some point, it makes no sense for one to cast pearls before swine. But one who doesn’t know they’ve heard the Good News must also preach to them as if they’ve never been told.

AI Answer:
Ray Sawyer of Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show wore the eye patch because he lost his right eye in a severe car accident in Oregon in 1967.
• The Accident: The 1967 crash resulted in permanent damage and the loss of his right eye, forcing him to wear the patch.
• The Persona: Instead of hiding it, Sawyer embraced a pirate-and-outlaw look, combining the patch with a cowboy hat and beard.
• The Band Name: The patch inspired fans and club owners to associate him with Captain Hook, which directly led to the band naming themselves Dr. Hook.

A Trump voter says an Obama rally changed how she saw Democrats
Carter Brown, a two-time Donald Trump voter, says attending Barack Obama’s October 28 rally in Morrow, Georgia, led her to rethink her political views. In a social-media video, Brown said she had been wrong about the Obama rally crowd after expecting hostility and instead seeing people concerned with family costs, health care and daily life.
....
A rally that challenged assumptions
Brown, 37, described herself as someone who had supported Trump in two elections. According to reports of her video, she attended Obama’s rally at the Arena at Southlake in Morrow, south of Atlanta, and wrote about the experience when she returned home. She later read those reflections aloud on TikTok.
Her central point was not that she had suddenly learned everyone in the room agreed on every issue. It was that the people she had long imagined as an angry, distant political bloc looked, in person, like neighbors managing familiar pressures.
Brown said the encounter made her confront how readily she had judged people without hearing their stories. The distinction matters: she described a change in her perception of fellow attendees, while the full extent of any shift in her voting choices or policy positions remains unclear.
What Obama was campaigning on
The event came during the closing stretch of Georgia’s 2026 midterm campaign. Obama appeared to support Democratic candidates including Sen. Jon Ossoff and gubernatorial candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms, according to reporting on the rally.
Obama’s speech focused on issues that can cut through partisan labels: the cost of living, access to health care, and the consequences of political decisions for households. The Guardian reported that he also criticized Trump and Republican leaders while arguing that voters were paying a price for their priorities.
That political framing is important. A campaign rally is designed to motivate supporters, and it offers a selective view of a party’s coalition. Brown’s reaction says more about the gap between her expectations and her experience than it does about all Democratic voters—or all Trump voters.
Why the crowd became the story
Political coverage often treats rally crowds as scenery: signs, chants, turnout and enthusiasm. Brown’s video made the crowd the point. She said she had expected an “angry mob” and instead encountered people she regarded as ordinary, welcoming and worried about practical problems.
That does not erase the intensity of American political disagreement. It highlights how stereotypes can harden when voters encounter the other side mainly through speeches, cable-news clips, viral posts, and partisan accounts.
....
She was not offering a firsthand side-by-side assessment of the two events. She was describing how being in one Democratic crowd unsettled a picture she had carried for years.
All we have to do is look across the pond for the real time results of the Marxists commie lefts polices. Here is a clear warning from a Frenchman. They were told all the same lies the Marxist lefts are telling our voters, free healthcare, free housing, high taxes, extreme regulation in the name of climate change, insane immigration from the 3rd world, diversity as a strength, etc. And look as their cities and culture melts and burns to the ground.
