TPaine said...: You can try Bing instead. I don't use Google much anymore, and this is a better excuse to stay away.; July 2, 2012 at 6:36 PM
Son of Sam Adams said...: Can anyone suggest a good pro-freedom email service? I've been using my work mail for everything, but it's branded gmail.; July 2, 2012 at 6:49 PM

Search engine without info gathering (except by the NSA, gathering everything everywhere from everyone).; July 2, 2012 at 7:04 PM
CB said...: I don't buy much firearm related anyway (money shortage) but as far as I'm concerned, "Too Big For Its Britches" Google has just deposited a large volume of fertilizer in its corporate pants.
I have shifted directly to Bing unless I can find a better choice out there.
As a test, in Bing Shopping, I typed "guns" in the search window. Volumes of selections were immediately available.
I have also deleted anything labeled Google off of my computer.

Google can kiss my buttplate. I'm gone.; July 2, 2012 at 7:47 PM

Anonymous said...: Try Ixquick.com

Or

Startpage.com

both are good,privacy oriented search engines,startpage uses google in its searches.

The more people use these alternatives instead of the popular common search engines like google and yahoo,the better.; July 3, 2012 at 1:18 AM
Knuck said...: ixquick. I changed my search engine to ixquick. The most private search engine around. Hope that you are feeling better. Knuck.; July 3, 2012 at 5:48 AM
rustynail said...: I was going to suggest ixquick (https://www.ixquick.com/eng/aboutixquick/), like the last two commenters. CASPIAN's founder, Katherine Albrecht, recommended it almost 2 years ago. I had been too lazy to make the move, but I'm doing it today. Albrecht also recommended startpage, but a quick check on it's main page showed that it is "enhanced by Google"

Anonymous said...: I use IXQUICK but the search results sometimes need to be supplemented by Bing or others.

I've been using gmail but I believe I'll go to a pay service and drop these people altogether.

They'll never miss me I'm sure but I will feel better. One more thing, I've notice that gmail seems to have an affinity for Thunderbird that also make me uncomfortable so I'm dumping it as well in favor of Evolution or Kmail.; July 3, 2012 at 9:41 AM
1NCCCH said...: Not that I'm a Google fan, but I just tried Google shopping for 5.56 suppressor and 5.56 ammo and it returned hits just fine.; July 3, 2012 at 10:27 AM
Randy said...: Allrighty, all google related accounts deleted. The funny thing is, the cowards never asked me why. Most reputable companies want to know why someone suddenly leaves. Ah well, I feel better lol; July 3, 2012 at 3:15 PM
Anonymous said...: http://yippy.com/ is another alternative search engine. Been trying it out for a month or so. Not bad so far; has some good features.; July 4, 2012 at 4:55 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
