"Larry Page publicly stated at Google’s I/O conference this year that he wants to start his own country."
You know it's serious journalism when they take something that was already overblown by the actual media and rehash it. Also, when he says, "if I can speculate further," and proceeds to talk about "steal[ing] the content that greases their ad machines," as well as "their quasi-religious effort to more quickly bring about technological singularity," ending in an unclever and sarcastic comment.
This is an inflammatory piece of junk with an alarming lack of facts (and abundance of pathos appeals and weasel words) to back up any of the claims. Political criticism is fine, but this is just blasphemy pretending to be news.
Tea Party groups are definitely on the far right of some of those PACs, but as long as any of those groups' interests align with Google, of course they'd donate.

Inflammatory piece of junk is putting it nicely
Nothing really new here. 42%+ of Google's PAC donations in the last 5 years have been to Republican organizations.

Google becoming political is indeed a concerning thing, but this article is absurdly biased.
