Those of you who read this blog (both of you) know I'm Pro-Life, and always recommend against Pro-Choice Politicians, especially the ones who promote absolutly no restiction to abortion, abortion on demand for whatever reason, including mental health issues that include the woman does not want anymore children (Doe v. Bolton)
Now that I have publicly said do not vote for Barack Obama for President, let's see if Google will accomplish what John H. could not.
Goggle, which owns Blogger.com, has shut down anti-Obama blog sites on Blogger.
-By Warner Todd Huston
It looks like Google has officially joined the Barack Obama campaign and decided that its contribution would be to shut down any blog on the Google owned Blogspot.com blogging system that has an anti-Obama message. Yes, it sure seems that Google has begun to go through its many thousands of blogs to lock out the owners of anti-Obama blogs so that the noObama message is effectively squelched. Thus far, Google has terminated the access by blog owners to 7 such sites and the list may be growing. Boy, it must be nice for Barack Obama to have an ally powerful enough to silence his opponents like that!
It isn't just conservative sites that Google's Blogger platform is eliminating. For instance, www.comealongway.blogspot.com has been frozen and this one is a Hillary supporting site. The operator of Come a Long Way has a mirror site off the Blogspot platform and has today posted this notice:
I used to have a happy internet home on Blogger: www.comealongway.blogspot.com. Then on Wednesday night, June 25, I received the following e-mail:
Dear Blogger user,
This is a message from the Blogger team.
Your blog, at http://comealongway.blogspot.com/, has been identified as a potential spam blog. You will not be able to publish posts to your blog until we review your site and confirm that it is not a spam blog.
Sincerely,
The Blogger Team
It turns out that there is an interesting pattern where it concerns the blogs that Google's Blogspot team have summarily locked down on their service. They all belong to the Just Say No Deal coalition, a group of blogs that are standing against the Obama campaign. It seems the largest portion of these blogs are Hillary supporting blogs, too.
All I can say is, WOW! If Google is willing to abuse its power like this even against fellow leftists, what does it plan against conservatives, the folks Google hates even more!?
Here is a list of the Blogspot blogs that have been frozen by Google thus far:
Blue Lyon @ http://bluelyon.blogspot.com
Come A Long Way @ http://comealongway.blogspot.com
Hillary or Bust @ http://hillaryorbust.blogspot.com
McCain Democrats @ http://mccaindemocrats.blogspot.com
NObama Blog @ http://nobamablog.blogspot.com

The most plausible explanation now appears to be that Google's anti-spam mechanisms were faulty or were deliberately abused by pro-Obama zealots. I can't say whether Google is an ideologically driven corporation, but it would not seem to be in Google's best business interest to deliberately censor content.
I have found these two links [1] [2] to be quite interesting.
Just the same, it would also be prudent for us to acknowledge that such censorship might very well be coming. See you in the catacombs!
