		<description>The scary thing is that Google is partnering with other entities. I&#039;m switching browsers, I don&#039;t know, Opera?  some Unix thing maybe? I&#039;m sick of Microsoft, Google, and so on.

For email, try

it costs but it is not open for anyone to review.
Found it on Conservative Fun House a few months ago.</description>

		<description>While Google is a private entity, there is a large element of moral fraud involved.

Google *claims* to be neutral and non-partisan (no matter what the partisanship involves).  Google *claims* to be which anyone may use.

And then Google censers the content.  And let’s not even get into their cooperative venture with the thugs who rule China.</description>

		<description>Pamela Geller at AtlasShrugs got sandboxed by Google a couple of months ago for &quot;hate speech&quot;. Yes, Google is a private company and can have their own viewpoints, and are free to express them. However, it seems that there comes a point, given their position on the internet, that they should be held accountable to this sort of behavior. 

I think MassResistance should sue them. It was one thing for Google to put the message in the search results, those results are their product, produced by a private company as you said, Bob. But for them to have somehow blocked direct access via either DNS resolution, or redirects, or whatever mechanism they used, that is WAAAY beyond their scope of responsibility. This should be prosecuted in the exact same way as someone who was found to have performed a DOS attack on a corporate or government website. JMO</description>

		<description>&quot;I&#039;ve been called &quot;n&quot; dozens of times on YouTube, and I&#039;m at peace with that.&quot;

that&#039;s one of the things I respect about you, Bob - you&#039;re able to deal with the heat and (at least from my standpoint) it doesn&#039;t affect you. I hope to gain that resistance quality someday.

anyway, I think it&#039;s just downright weird there would be a google gay parade..yeesh..why does it have to be google anyway? did it HAVE to be google?

also, good to know groups like MassResistance exist and were able to push back enough to have their website up &amp; running. fantastic!</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Bob Parks:&lt;/b&gt; &quot;&lt;i&gt;Google is a private corporation, the First Amendment and free speech decorum doesn&#039;t apply, ...&lt;/i&gt;&quot;

In a sane world.  But we all know what happens when a private entity engages in &quot;speech&quot; (I mean &quot;speech&quot; in the expansive &quot;liberal&quot; usage of the word) of which &quot;liberals&quot; really, really, really disapprove.

For instance, say that there is a little Mom-and-Pop diner in my neighborhood.  And suppose that Mom and Pop are just absolute, unreconstructed racial bigots.  And suppose Mom and Pop put a sign in their window saying, &quot;&lt;i&gt;No [bad-word] Allowed!&lt;/i&gt;&quot;

Now, personally, I would like Mom and Pop to do this openly, so that I can know to take my business elsewhere.

But, what will happen should Mom and Pop do this?  Will the &quot;liberals&quot; and the government *allow* this as free speech?  Will they rightly conclude that, as Mom and Pop are a private entity, they are violating no one&#039;s rights?

Of course not, we all know this; we all know how this plays out.</description>

		<description>Why are the same people who pretend to be liberal and open-minded always the most obvious fascists and bigots?</description>
