| Today is the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. Yet Google decides to put a Soviet astronaut up? Very patriotic. | Tmoney33 | 4/12/11 7:03 AM | The biggest war to shape our country but doesn't get recognized? How does a Soviet communist who I bet hardly anyone knew his name get the nod? Didn't know Google was anti-American. |

But look at it this way: In their un-American move, Google payed tribute to a commie rocket jockey who was hugely responsible for the fall of the Soviet Union. No Yuri, no space race. No space race, no SDI. No SDI, no fall. |

They ignored Pearl Harbor day completely. Ignoring the 150th of the Civil War is beyond the pale. |

Can you believe they actually reference events that took place outside of America? It's almost as if Google is some sort of website that can be accessed in other countries! For shame Google! What I really worry about is the children, I mea |

And when several of those countries mark special events/anniversaries in their countries, Google acknowledges them with country-specific doodles, like Peruvian Elections - (Peru) |

Shame on you....... |
