Conservatives Have Way Too Much Time On Their Hands

There are many different issues and causes that a person can feel passionate about, whether you are on one side or the other. Letting women make decisions about their own body, should we help give health care to children who can not afford it, is it smart to stay in Iraq even though we are making it worse.....so many questions to ponder (though I would think the answers are easy in my humble opinion). Now to you nuts on the right, why the hell do you care so much about the logo on Google?

From The LA Times:


Google Inc. occasionally features light-hearted doodles on its colorful home-page logo to commemorate special occasions. But now they are drawing criticism from conservatives for not being more patriotic.

The Mountain View, Calif., company bathes its logo in stars and stripes every Independence Day, but last week's decision to honor the 50th anniversary of the Sputnik launch -- the second "g" in Google was replaced with a drawing of the Soviet satellite -- is being blasted by some conservatives.

Not only did Google honor an achievement by a totalitarian regime that was our Cold War enemy, they griped, but it did so without having ever altered its logo to commemorate U.S. military personnel on Memorial Day or Veterans Day.

"It's a kick to your belly," said conservative blogger Giovanni Gallucci, 39, a social media consultant from Dallas. "I understand these guys are scientists and engineers and they have their quirks and want to make sure people are recognized who might not normally be recognized . . . but why not celebrate the struggles that we've come through as a people?"

Seriously, can someone get that man a life.
