The fact of the matter is that the American Left is waging a full scale war against fellow Americans who have the audacity to disagree with Left Wing orthodoxy. They are not interested in debate, discussion, ideas, free speech, or a free press. They are the enforcers of their own iron-fisted, totalitarian, Mao-style cultural revolution. The targets can be Fox News or individual Fox hosts with names like Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham. It can be conservative speakers invited to college campuses — with the mere appearance of conservative Ben Shapiro requiring the University of California at Berkeley forced to lay out $600,000 to protect the speaker. It can be a Media Matters campaign to remove Rush Limbaugh from the air. Or, yes, me.
On and on and on this kind of thing goes. This is no longer a debate about ideas in the tradition of America. It is a war of personal destruction.
This time around, the target is The American Spectator. This time around the iron fist belongs to Google.
The question has reached the point that conservatives need to have a serious conversation among themselves. Is it time for government regulation of these tech giants? Or is it — my preference — time for free-market competition that provides serious and successful competition to these companies?
But whatever else is clear at this moment, it is that The American Spectator has been blacklisted by Google in an attempt to silence it.
And as should be abundantly clear to anyone with knowledge of the history of The American Spectator, its founder Bob Tyrrell, and its staff of editors and writers?
Big mistake.

Despotism
Here you go again. Maybe you'll figure it out at some point.
Someone just turned me on to The Creepy Line.
It’s a term Google coined. They cross it every day.

Google (as well as Facebook) made a 10 point difference in favor of Hitlery in the ‘16 election.
And still Trump won.
Google needs to be smashed into a billion pieces.
Did you add monopoly as a keyword? Whoever did is correct. Google, FaceBook et al; all need to be regulated and controlled.
The cure would be worse than the disease.
It wasn't me, but you are right. Google is effectively a monopoly. Google is also a great threat to our freedoms. They will continue to manipulate the electorate so long as we continue tolerating their interference.
Squaw Warren came out in favor of regulating Social Media a month or so back.
She’s right of course, but I wonder if her liberal motives were to have FedGov control Google and FaceBook essentially the same way.
And that any conservative groupthink on social media would therefore be a violation of federal laws.
