Google used to include “Democratic Underground” as a NEWS source on news.google.com. I think they have finally ended that practice, but it wasn’t because of the venom and violent rhetoric on thier site (which is in violation of Google’s terms for qualified news servives).

There's no reason FReepers should be putting money in Google's  pocket.

The same search on Live.com yielded much more reasonable results.

Hey Obama, is that a Google in your pocket or are you just happy to see Larry Sinclair?

Google’s secret “search formulas” seem to be heavily weighted toward recent postings lately, without regard to accuracy.

Anything posted on the often incorrect and moronic blog “yahoo answers” gets indexed within seconds.
I suspect that the internet folks at Obama, Inc. are twisting the heck out of these weaknesses in their model.
One wonders if Google staffers are helping the Bami folks out with a bit of insider info. I wouldn’t put it past them.

You will find the same practice on Yahoo. They're about as transparent as a brick.

Lots of folks are willingly...captivatingly...in Obama's pocket. His campaign has been engineered that way from the getgo. All rock star image and no substance because, well, there is none when it comes to traditional, foundational American values.

That's because Obama's ardent followers are not swayed by logic, reason, or truth. To them, regardless of his positions, his gaffes, his past, or his associations, he is an idol.


Nothing you can say or do will convince these people otherwise...


Because I am the one they and I have been waiting for...and I am lovin' it.

Those wild eyed people represent the millions of Americans raised in the government day-care and indoctrination centers we call public schools who did not have, or would not listen to, parents and others who tried to counterweight the garbage they heard at school...who have been raised on 60 second sound bite time spans and know no better.

You have other tens of millions on the dole who will vote for him regardless of position because he promises to keep pilfering the public largess for them.

Still othes of millions will vote for him simply because he is black.

Other millions will vote for him because they know exactly who he is and what he represents and agree with his anti-American positions.

The first three are all what is termed, useful idiots, a term coined by Lenin for the dupes he got to support him.

Against this it is left to us to educate, arouse, and amass the tens of millions of Americans who understand and hold fast to the foundational principles our constitutional republic rests upon...many of them the bitter, rural Americans clinging to their guns and religion that Obama so arrogantly spoke of.

Note this comparison:


A populsitic, charismatic, self-serving individual has a way of mesmerizing foolish people looking for an idol...then and now.

Barack Hussein Obama is the apex of the hate-America, domestic enemy in this country. His election as president would be the greatest coup any enemy has ever scored against this country and could easily lead to the worst, horrific disaster in our nation's history.

I really like the Google front page (igoogle) but there is no doubt it is far left. When the politics tab comes up, the first already installed links are Daily Kos, PBS, CNN and Democracy Now.

Of course, the reason I like it is I can delete all those things and put in Fox News and Little Green Footballs.

I recently started to use goodsearch.com. It uses the Yahoo search engine...which works as well for me as Google.

The unique thing about goodsearch.com, is that it allows you to select a charity, and will pay that charity for the searches you do. They also have an agreement with various online stores (from Amazon to Walmart) so that purchases you make at these stores contribute a percentage of your payment to the charity of your choice...so long as you enter the store via the goodsearch screen.

I don't find a lot of difference in the results between Google and Yahoo. Neither wins any awards for being a friend to conservatives. But when I use goodsearch, they contribute to causes I support.

I think goodsearch has been around for a few years, but I just found out about it last week and thought I would pass it along...
