Do you have the impression that Bryan Fischer represents Right Wing Watch? I hope not. The RWW is new to me. It's the first time I've seen it, but if you're really interested just check out YouTube – they've got lots more than just this Bryan Fischer buffoon.

That's what we call Crackling. When we had a local butcher he made gorgeous crackling. You cold get a carrier bag full for a couple of quid & it was still warm when you got it.

Tell ya what buddy, as a proud member of the Vast right-wing conspiracy maybe I could give you some clues, but really can't speak for all.

We have this guy, Obama who has the job of President. That guy is LEFT as all heck, but sometimes runs into reality and has to disappoint his fan base.

LEFT/RIGHT, very general terms.

Quite frankly I reckon that, compared to his predecessors, Obama has done a brilliant job. I just hope he gets to do another term in the future. I just find it ridiculous that Presidents can't get voted into office more than twice in a row.

Sorry, but we only allow two terms, these days. Or at least two consecutive terms. Some folks have said that they could come back after being gone for a term, but that has not been tested, yet.

However, I believe that anyone who serves two terms in that office, and actually wants to come back for more is mentally disturbed, and the Constitution forbids mentally disturbed people from holding office.

So you consider yourself a right-winger? Interesting. So would you say this Bryan Fischer does not represent the right-wing or would you say that he's an “extreme” right-winger/or Christian fundamentalist?

Oh! I can't possibly disagree more about Obama being “LEFT as all heck”. In fact, he's well right-of-centre. If you see Obama as “left” how would describe (or use an example of an American president) “centre”?

Unless I'm mistaken, the popular, Jewish president Franklin Delano Rosenfeldt (couldn't resist it) actually served 3 TERMS as president.

First term, 1933–1937

Second term, 1937–1941

Third term, 1941–1945

That was Roosevelt, the Dutchman. Yes, he was elected to a third term. At the time, the two-term limit was more of a tradition than a restriction.

After his death in office, a law was enacted, making the two-term limit official.

Actually elected to four terms, but did not live to serve fourth. He may have been called a Jewish president, but he turned back ships of European Jews trying to flee Hitler's Germany, which lead to most eventually dying in concentration camps. 'Self-hating jew' I guess. He was called 'Matzoh lover.' Everyone sucks.

So is a right-fielder who (in the pursuit of catching a pop-up on the fly) steps an inch into centre field. But that doesn't make him a left-fielder.

China is primarily non-religious. Or rather the State is the religion. And very few Chinese are vegetarian. At least, not by choice.
