  PENSACOLA, Fla. – This morning residents and tourists in Pensacola Beach awoke to the day they long feared.
  The high tide, plus southeast winds overnight, brought globs of oil onto the pristine white sand beaches here. The oil is now fouling those beaches for as one official said, "as far as the eye can see."

  Globs of oil washed up on Pensacola Beach Wednesday morning - fouling the pristine white sand beaches.
  All along the water line this morning, tar has been washing ashore. You can see it in the surf – it is all over the beach. It is sticky, brown and running in lines all along the waterline, in front of the hotels and near Pensacola's famous fishing pier.
  This morning, there were a few people out on the beaches, walking, looking at the oil and shaking their heads, but no one is going in the water.
  Clean-up crews are here and starting to work on the beaches. Some skimmer boats could be seen off in the horizon, trying to catch the oil as it comes ashore.

  But when I got out here early this morning, shortly after dawn, there were no skimmer boats out there catching the oil, it came ashore unimpeded.
  The fact that the skimmer boats are offshore suggests there is probably more oil still coming in. The wind continues to blow from the southeast, pushing whatever oil there is toward the shore. So this is something that could continue throughout the day. But already the beaches are fouled and swimmers are not able to go into the water.

BP Oil Spill 2010, A Repeat in History of 1979?

Image via Wikipedia

As we sit back and see all the news today about the Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico, we tend to see some very similar trends of the exact same problems that happened in 1979.

One thing I have also noticed is we have a President that constantly talks about not looking at the past anymore but the future of CHANGE. With this in mind, it makes me realize that we need to look more at history to learn exactly what we keep seeing all over the news today. In order to make people think that something is new, you have to first make them forget about the past.

The same dome that didn't work, The same plugging systems that didn't work. The same exact news cast that lasted 9 months.
You would think people including our own President would look at this and say. Don't do that. Do this.
But as you can see. That is far from reality. After all what does History have to prove?

After watching this video. It made me realize that an entire generation was probably to young to remember all this.
Though I haven't agreed fully on the person doing this video. I have to say. I am to glad she did this one.

People please wake up.

Video: Muslims protest 'draw Muhammad' day

I'm not a big fan of South Park, Never really cared for it much. But, to see how they are practicing their freedom of speech really shows how free we are.
Watching this video. We can see the hatred of a Religion that isn't expressed enough here in America. To see them burning the American Flag, Angry and trying to cause a fight over a cartoon really shows a bigger picture on how brainwashed some of these people really are.

Freedom of Speech is worth having and worth fighting for. Without it people couldn't see the true nature of things really going on. Just like in this video.
