Competing in the marketplace is a foreign concept to most FReepers when it comes to Google. They believe that they're entitled to a conservative search engine. FReepers seem to assume that a company should reflect their political beliefs, neglecting that Google must attract more than just an American user base, let alone the right-wing pro-military segment of our society.
Google is an international company. They seek an international user base - not just patriotic Americans. Putting up a Memorial Day sign might offend those in other countries.

Google is country specific; if you've traveled overseas you'd know that Google.com is inaccessible from most countries.

Well said. What FReepers also conveniently forget is that the pioneers of the Internet boom of the 90s were liberal youths (College slackers and drop-outs). So FReepers need to stop playa-hating and give the devils their due. If there's one thing liberals know how to do, it's create technology.
