Many of us already know how much "in the tank" Google is with Obama. Google's CEO first met Obama way back in 2000 and has since had several meetings.
It is also true that Google was caught censoring what they deemed negative content against Obama during the election.
It will also likely be true that Google will eventually censor information for the Obama administration - this is a no-brainer as they have already done so and are tightly coupled.
I am now introducing a new search engine that I personally feel is very good. Some of you may have heard of it already, it's called Gigablast (http://www.gigablast.com).
Google's success hinges on traffic and sponsored search ads (they charge 4-5$ per click). If Google's traffic was reduced even by 15-20% consistantly - it would be huge losses in profit for Google.
Do you want to stick it to George Soros and Google's CEO? Tell everyone you know to start using Gigablast.com.
If you are conservative and know Google's history, the choice is already made to use something different.

Cuil may nor may not be honest -- I have never been able to confirm their claim: "Cuil is an old Irish word for knowledge." Eolas is the word today. Cuil means corner, niche, couch, angle, a private place (Dwelly's Gaelic-English).
I'm using Zone Alarm and haven't changed the default search engine or start page from Google, and I've never had any problem getting FR after installing, and between various versions and various computers I've probably installed 20 times. I think something went wrong during your install or your install just happenned to coincide with one of FR's accursed outages.
You know, I have had Zone Alarm for years too, but this time I have to actually turn it off to get access to FR and I am at my wits end trying to figure it out. If I try to access FR with ZA on, I get a message that Internet Explorer is unable to access the web page. As soon as I trun off ZA Internet Explorer has immediate access.
At first I thought it was Google, so I switched my search engine back but so far the only way to get here is to turn off ZA completely. Very frustrating week it has been!
