I never suspected Google would show bias. Well, they messed up and provided me an easy topic to write about this week. They also hurt us financially.

Well, it's a free country. Build your own search engine and then you can have all the ads on it you want to.

...and stop using Google, because they are bigoted against conservatives. This hurts me because I use them daily.

I sent an email with my feelings toward their policy and informing that I will no longer be using their service, unless they change their stance.

They banned some gun / singal flare ads I had for the same reason. Even when I advertised other items from the same web site, they said they were sold on the linked site and banned those ads. Sucks, but that is their right as a private business.

Have they tried Overture? They are the big search engine competition for Google right now.

Yes they are very biased. A couple of week ago, I was making a trip to the mountain town of Arnold, California. I was hunting for a city site, but all I could get was sites mentioning Arnold's California. Lol.

The above search engine submits your query to a number of different "search engines" available on the 'net and provides you with the results.
