The irony is that conservatives continue to support Google and it’s subsidiary, YouTube.

“The irony is that conservatives continue to support Google and it’s subsidiary, YouTube.”

This is a serious question from someone who is largely computer illiterate. I know how to surf the net and manage to post comments here although things like posting articles or photos are beyond me. I get my news from the internet and use it for mail and word processing. So, given how ubiquitous Google and YouTube are, how does one stop supporting those business concerns? Do I just use some other search engine, and if so, which one? Is there an alternative to YouTube to see McCain ads or similar videos people are posting?

I like to put my money where my mouth is. I am frustrated about these companies that are everyday parts of my life taking political stands. I live in California and would love to tell the utility provider PG&E where to go after its contribution to gay marriage proponents, or the California Teachers’ Association for the same thing. How do we withdraw our support of some of these companies without becoming Luddites?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

What’s the alternative. Isn’t Yahoo just as left of center as Google?

There is no good sub for YouTube, you just have to download the video before it gets pulled.
