Truer words were never spoken. Take it from one who knows…

Google has already exhibited a pattern of violating privacy, engaging in anti-competitive conduct and using its monopoly power in the search market to drive internet users to its affiliated services and its viewpoints on policy matters.

Any joint combination with Yahoo could dramatically worsen these problems. We face a possible future in which no content could be seamlessly accessed without Google's permission.
– Gary Flowers, Black Leadership Forum, to BBC News regarding the possible merger of Google and Yahoo

I'm not one to tell people to "be afraid" of things, but this should have many of us quite concerned, especially when it comes to the selective, politically correct, liberal anti-free speech tendencies of Google. This I know from experience.

A little more than a year ago I uploaded onto YouTube the graphic video of the execution of Jack Hensley, a captured American civilian working in Iraq. This video was broadcast across the Islamic world, and not shown on American television due to "sensitivities." I thought it important the American people saw just who we were fighting in The War on Terror, considering the left labeled these murderous thugs "freedom fighters" who meant us no harm.

Within an hour of its posting, Google saw fit to remove the video citing "inappropriate content", which is laughable considering some of the vids Google allows, and forever banned me from posting videos longer than 10 minutes.

While showing politically correct sensitivities as not to offend or inappropriately tarnish the image of some Muslims, Google had no problem allowing one of their subscribers, named "Bugsy", to exercise his right to free speech against me…

Google has every right to police its content, as its a private company, but where is the line drawn when that company has the power to make anyone "go away" when trying to find them in a search?  Add to it the fact, Google is driven by a liberal agenda, and merger giving them more policing power should be given very careful consideration.
