Missing: Google’s D-Day Commemoration
Breitbart ^

Posted on 06/06/2016 6:16:28 PM PDT by ErikJohnsky

Today marks the 70th anniversary of D-Day, and Google has decided to sit on their hands for it. On June 6th, 1944, American forces stormed the beaches of Western Europe in the bravest and largest amphibious attack in history. A battle that turned the tide against Nazi Germany and changed the course of World War II hasn’t earned itself a Google homepage doodle, however.

Interestingly enough, you may remember Google’s homepage from May 19th where they honored Yuri Kochiyama, a social activist who openly praised Osama bin Laden, Malcolm X, and Fidel Castro for their work.

Jesus was a freedom fighter? That’s a new one. He seemed more concerned about the next kingdom than his current one.

Perhaps I should clear that up. You are correct. Jesus freed our souls rather than combat earthly oppression. He enlightened humanity that regardless of the chains that shackle us to this worldly life we are free in his name in heaven after we give up this fragile body. The slave, the master, the king, the pauper, the warrior, the cripple, are all equal in his eyes. No matter our lot in life, we all die. Jesus freed our souls. What peace that is. Perhaps my label of "freedom fighter" doesn't match modern rhetoric.

As noted, earlier, it is actually the 72nd Anniversary of D-Day.

Might I recommend a short video? About 1 1/2 hrs.

Go to Bing and see what comes up. ;>)

I don’t use Google and haven’t for several years.

It still has a hard-Left orientation, regardless of who its "co-founder" was. And now apparently Germany has been added to Japan as a "victim" of American "aggression."

They were also silent on Easter this year.

Many Freepers may be under the impression that most Googlers lean hard left. After being a rare conservative Googler for 4 and a half years I found that this perception is absolutely true.

It has been said that the current generation of youth know close to nothing about history. This just aligns with that level of ignorance. Ask any of them about the major events of the 20th century and you get blank stares. Going back even further would be like entering a black hole of ignorance. This was an important book in 1987.

Use any other provider than Google!

DW and I, and as many FRiends as I can persuade, use IXQUICK.

Been boycotting Google for years!

It can’t be the 70th anniversary. Has to be the 72nd.

Does anyone know of a real good search engine so I don’t have to use Google?

Bing had a stunning aerial photo of Point Du Hoc at Normandy. You could clearly still see the gun emplacements, trenches and oil box foundations.

You guys just cannot get enough of this crap. You go there expecting them to have changed their spots.

They will always disappoint you.

“Today marks the 70th anniversary of D-Day...”

Er, that was two years ago. This is the 72nd anniversary.

Must be that Common Core math.

Startpage.com uses Google as its engine, but anonymizes the user. It is related to Ixquick, which another FReeper mentioned.

Google never does obvious stuff for those Doodles. Holidays or big anniversaries are generally not commemorated.
