Bastards...

Google's owners are liberals...or didn't you know that?
Flying the flag, honoring our soldiers and displaying patriotism isn't a hallmark of liberals.

[Sociopathocracy]

Time to use aother search engine. Are there any owned by conservatives?

Bastille Day! Bwuhahahaha!

$crew Google, I've got my flag on the front porch and am going out the door to the local parade in a few minutes.

Thanks for the heads-up on this. Yes, they have had logos for everything else, even the Olympics. They are clever, but now I will be on the watch for the lack of any patriotic themes. The irony is that veterans have fought and are fighting for the very freedom and good quality of life that the people behind this company are currently enjoying.

Go here and sample one our FR tributes to Veterans through graphics and poems. Screw Google.

I removed Google (its toolbar) when they put hearts and flowers on my computer for Valentine's Day. I learned to despise Google when they insisted on using joint o gether.org asm as a 'news' source. When I questioned them on that, I was given a boilerplate nyah-nyah answer.

Google is a left-coast left-wing operation. I abuse them when I must.

I use Dogpile search engine. I don't like Google as I get screwy results.

Thanks. I will speak to them about this.

I used to find old FreeRepublic articles easily through Google. Not anymore.

[USMC-EOD]

As someone who spends an extensive amount of time on the Google site, I'm truly disappointed. But, since Bill has donated major $$ to the Republican party (as well as several Demoncrats too, but more towards the good guys), I guess I'm going to have to switch when their engine gets up and going.

Truly disappointing, but not unexpected.

Back in the day, Google was a great search engine.

Now it just sucks.

I noticed that first thing this morning and wrote them an email.

[cwiz24]

Here is the email I sent and the reply I received within the hour...

I am disappointed in your neglect to create a Veteran's Day logo, especially while we have troops deployed overseas. Recently, you have gone so far as to have special logos for Ray Charles' birthday, the winning of the X prize, and the birthday of Gaston Julia. But nothing for Veteran's Day? I sincerely hope this was a careless oversight on your part and not an attempt to make a political statement. Whether you agree with the current mission or not, it does not change the fact that thousands of soldiers (past and present) have put their own lives on the line merely because their country needed them. Veteran's Day does not just honor the soldiers of the current conflict, but also remembers the brave actions of those soldiers that fought in all of history's wars. Thousands and thousands of children grew up without fathers because of the solemn and selfless duty of soldiers and countless young men were permanently disabled due to their service. At the very least, I think these sacrifices deserve some Google-logo recognition and respect.

Response:
Thank you for your note. We're glad that you appreciate Google's holiday logos and would like to explain why we didn't post one for Veterans Day this year. Please be assured that the decision whether to display a special logo for a holiday does not reflect any judgment on our part about the holiday itself. Google's special logos tend to be lighthearted in nature. If we were to commemorate Veterans Day, we would want to express reverence, rather than mirth. This would be a particularly challenging design. We would not want to, in any way, create a graphic that could be interpreted as disrespectful. In light of the mail we've received about this, we're actively considering designs we could display on this day next year. We welcome any suggestions you may have. Regards, The Google Team

Google has always been full of loony left anti-Bush bias right from the get go.
Hopefully the new Microsoft search engine that comes out today, will start to chop away at these pathetic Google creeps' market share..

[antaresequity]

Can you fix the title? Misspelled "Veterans"

[maine-iac7]

Good Catch!

Let's let Google know how we feel!
