Go Lance!

Posted by BerkoC on Tuesday, July 14, 2009 12:31:56 AM

Lance Armstrong is a true inspiration to all of and the model example of what the American Spirit can accomplish when minds are set to task. This man almost died and is still competitive in one of the hardest races in the world, not to mention he happens to be the world record holder currently. And to top it all off he is donating all that he does to cancer research to help make sure others don't suffer the way he does. Pretty impressive soul and an example that we should all strive to emulate.

Last Words From A Death Row Inmate

Posted by BerkoC on Saturday, July 11, 2009 11:59:02 AM
These are the last words of a death row inmate and they have never been more true:
"For those who oppose the death penalty and want to see it end, our best bet is to vote for Barack Obama because his supporters have been working behind the scenes to end this practice."

—Dale Leo Bishop, executed in Mississippi on July 23, 2008
That's right, this man that was sentenced to death want Obama in office because it will keep those criminals that have wronged society so deeply alive. These are the men and women that have raped children, murdered families and killed millions of people as a group. Do you want those people just sitting in prison waiting for the system to release them? No, you don't that is why you are here. But the man in office and the men controlling congress do. They want to keep the terrorizers on the streets to hurt the population. A scary thought that we must all be vigilant againtst

Tiger Wins ATT National

Posted by BerkoC on Wednesday, July 08, 2009 12:19:22 AM
Tiger's win in the ATT National competition was something that was quite nice as he was able to beat challenger Anthony King by 4 strokes.  It was great to watch the competition because one could say that this Anthony Kim character is an up and comer a lot like Tiger and might one day start really challenging the master for some of these majors.  Something interesting to watch at least as Tiger is starting to return to form.

More Corruption in the Nation's Capital

Posted by BerkoC on Sunday, July 05, 2009 1:43:26 PM

It is amazing that Marion Barry, who was again arrested, is still able to participate in politics.  I mean this democrat has had every type of corruption. It is time we clean up the nation's capital of these corrupt politicians because they are a representation of the nation and should be a shining example for all. Of course they are not right now. Let's clearn out Marion

Funny Conservative T-shirt - I'd Rather Be Waterboarding Shirt

Posted by BerkoC on Thursday, July 02, 2009 9:59:38 PM
I know it is wrong to think this is funny, but the idea that someone took the phrase "I'd rather be golfing" and turned it into a clever play on words is just too much for me.  I think this is a shirt I could see a kid in my neighborhood wearing, but I don't think I could ever wear it myself -  a little too risky for someone my age.  Anyways, the shirt is below for you to see.

Twilight Golf Fun

Posted by BerkoC on Monday, June 29, 2009 8:59:40 PM

I hadn’t played twilight golf in a long time, at least since I was in my late twenties, but a couple of the boys from the church group went out. Play as many holes as you wanted for $18. We didn’t do that well, and I lost a bunch of balls, at least 6 but it was fun to play golf as fast as possible to try and beat the beautiful setting sun. I am sure that everyone else had a good time too, and I think we will do again soon. Of course I had to go to bed right after we were done because playing that much golf late at night really takes it out of me, I’m no spring chicken anymore.

Say No Immigration Legalization

Posted by BerkoC on Thursday, June 25, 2009 10:57:12 PM

Obama met with Immigration legalization advocates today so I thought it would be prudent to post about how terrible and idea this would be for the United States of America.  At current estimates there are roughly 12 million undocumented aliens in this country, that is close to 5% of the total US population.  Imagine if they were all able to go to our schools, tax your tax dollars for Social Security and clog our hospital systems. We would be totally over run.  And this isn't even taking into account all the new jobs they would try to get and take away from Americans that need them in the worst job market since the 70s.  We need to get these people out of our country, not legalize them if we want to protect ourselves and have more jobs in the future.

Congrats to Lucas Glover

Posted by BerkoC on Tuesday, June 23, 2009 10:16:12 PM
Congrats to the Young Lucas Glover for winning the US open with gusty putting and a driver that can’t be matched. I do have to say that I was a little let down with Tiger’s performance this year because of his lack of form and obvious frustration in front of the cameras. He seemed to lack that Tiger like composure that is always present for him and that was a little sad. I say this in no way trying to take away from what Mr. Glover did, but we all want to see Tiger return to form.

Iran Election T-shirt

Posted by BerkoC on Thursday, June 18, 2009 10:38:16 PM
I am really loving the display of DEMOCRATIC protest in Iran and really dismayed by the fact that the government is trying to stop it.  The democratic process is part of what makes countries great and if they don't have that in Iran the people will continue to be upset with the country.  If I had a million dollars I would pay to send as many of these shirts over to the country to help people show their discontent with the leaders of this corrupt country.

Less Government Control of Health Care

Posted by BerkoC on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 11:22:48 PM

Obama's administration wants government to take over healthcare and redistribute healthcare to everyone in an even system. As good as this sounds on paper, the way this is paid for is on the backs of American workers. It isn't simply an issue of higher taxes but added cost. Since this new system won't maintain the same level of care that is in the US now, responsible tax payers with jobs will have to have private healthcare and public heatlhcare to maintain their level of service. That means additional cost and more strain on the economy. What we really need is more market control of healthcare and great competition so that prices come down as an outcome of invisible hand. Taking over healthcare will only make it work as well as the roads, it may work somewhat but it will be a bumpy ride.

Now is the Time in Iran

Posted by BerkoC on Saturday, June 13, 2009 5:42:38 PM
There is no better time than now to engage the opposition in Iran and empower them to overthrow the terrorist government that is currently in place.  Iran is a foe to basically all countries in the Middle East and all countries in the west and by empowering the opposition we become friends to the people without upsetting them.  If the US just invaded Iran that would galvanize the population behind the leadership and cause us greater hardship down the road.  But if we helped the opposition to build a new government there would celebration of the United States and the democratic change we've brought to the country.  Now is the time, now is the time, now is the time!

North Korea: Give Our Citizens Back

Posted by BerkoC on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 11:09:05 PM
Now I am not going to comment on the journalists from this liberal media outlet, but when one country takes and punishes the citizens of our country that is when we put differences aside and stand together as a United nation.  That is why I DEMAND that they give our citizens back otherwise this should be considered an act of extreme aggression  and the US should respond with our own act of aggression that is equal to the size of our military might.  The time for the government to act is NOW.  It is time for them to show the truth strength of America, standing together in the face of all adversion.

Tiger is Back!

Posted by BerkoC on Sunday, June 07, 2009 8:17:00 PM

Tiger is just getting better and better after his knee surgery and I think it's time to start calling it a comeback. Tiger came from 4 back to win the Memorial tourney in Dublin, OH today with some amazing shots of the back nine. I mean his swing was just brilliant for the entire time. With the US Open only a few weeks away this was a good warm up for Tiger to show that he's got it for sure.

Crotchety Old Man Father's Day Cards

Posted by BerkoC on Thursday, June 04, 2009 10:35:10 PM
Sometimes when I see all these young kids running around today with baggy jeans and kissing in public I feel like a crotchety old man.  What happened to the decency standards that this country held true?  I don't think that teenagers should be allowed to text, or hang out with friends.  Teenagers need boundaries and work to keep their energetic personalities occupied.  Most people get annoyed with the way I think about kids these days and that makes me feel even older.  Anyway, when I saw this get off my lawn card it reminded me of myself so I had to share with everyone.

I Say Let GM Fail

Posted by BerkoC on Monday, June 01, 2009 10:14:18 PM

I think that GM has mis-managed themselves long enough and don't deserve to be a auto maker anymore. Let one of the other brands like Ford (who doesn't even need government money) step in and take over the market that GM represented. Let other companies that know what they are doing do it. I don't want to seem my tax dollars go towards helping a company that makes a product I don't even want. The market needs to decide what to do with GM and they have already said goodbye. Let GM go.
