How much of free expression is Google really all about?

I've had it with Google! For a company whose corporate motto is "Don't be evil", they sure don't practice what they preach. 

First, they assist the evil Commie bastards in China in censoring web searches:


Critics attack Google's 'black day' in China

Google to censor China Web searches

Google in the Garden of Good and Evil

How the search-engine giant moved beyond mere morality.


Second, they happily carry pro-terrorist new sources...

Google’s Terrorist News Source


...and then remove news sites that are critical of the "Religion of Peace":

Google dumps news sites that criticize radical Islam

Search giant axes another news page, calls terrorism discussion 'hate content'


And the final straw...

They have never recognized our fallen heroes on Memorial Day. Jonah Goldberg writes:

"It's kind of sad. They change their homepage logo for all sorts of holidays and occasions. Just last week they paid tribute to Arthur Conan Doyle's birthday. But Memorial Day doesn't seem to rate anything at all."


Here are the "important" holidays, events and people that Google does find worthy of recognition (place your mouse on the picture for a description):


CHINESE HOLIDAYS








FRENCH HOLIDAYS






IRANIAN HOLIDAYS



SWISS HOLIDAYS



JAPANESE HOLIDAYS



INDIAN HOLIDAYS



BRITISH HOLIDAYS


HIPPIE HOLIDAYS









PEOPLE

















SHITTY SPORTS EVENTS

I'm switching to Ask.com, who appear to be the only search engine with any acknowledgment of Memorial Day:


Email Google and let them know how fed up you are.

Remember: it's only closed minded censorship when you don't shout the leftist point of view loud and proud.

Try Dog Pile. They had a very touching and poignant home page yesterday.

Sure and it is so ironic that the liberals are who pretend to be "open minded".

Thanks for that tip, I think that logo is gone but it's nice to know they had something memorable on memorial day.

Yes, after I posted to you I noticed that it was down. I'm sorry. As you saw they have this cute little dog as part of their logo. They had an illustration of the Viet Nam War Memorial. The little dog had obviously just laid a bouquet of flowers and had his head bowed in prayer. It was very sweet and respectful at the same time it retained their identity. Google could have done the same but chose not to. It speaks volumes.
