I just switched to http://www.yippy.com for my search engine. Seems to be vastly more family friendly, and interested in my privacy.

Conservatives/ conservative groups would have to be certifiable grade A idiots to get in bed with Obama’s favored company Google.

Seemingly magnanimous gesture of Google, but everybody on Google+ knows they’re being spied on now. NOT the place I would want political strategizing to be.

For those concerned about privacy, STAY AWAY FROM GOOGLE!
Use IXquick as your search engine.

If you're really concerned about security...

Go buy a USB Wi-Fi adapter, pay cash, don't use a credit card. You may even want to wear a disguise and park your car around the corner out of sight of any video surveillance of the store. This way, your access device will have a MAC address that cannot be traced to you.

Download and burn a "live-CD" image of any one of the dozen or so Linux distributions. Either burn it on CD or into a thumb drive (try unetbootin for this).

Use only the "live-CD" CD or thumb drive to boot your laptop, with it's internal Wi-Fi turned off and only access through the USB/Wi-Fi adapter.

Only connect to the internet via public, open Wi-Fi access points.

Move around, don't go to the same one all the time, randomize your pattern of use. Be aware of any video surveillance of these sites and avoid it.

Since the live-CDs don't store anything on your hard drive there's no record of anywhere you've been that can be back-traced and associated with you.

No, I don't go to these lengths - yet. If hussein wins/steals a second term I guarantee you we all will be taking steps like these if we want to keep posting the truth on sites like FR. (I expect FR would be forcibly shut-down within months of a coup by hussein) Yes, I have thought seriously about the need for that kind of privacy from the government.
