"And, oh yes, I'm willing to bet most universities across the country have "more and better Ph.D's" than FreeRepublic, but are you about to blindly say they are more politically apt than us? "

To write a really great search engine needs some serious Math PHD's.
Its like being a brain surgeon. If you don't have the advanced training and qualifications in neurosurgery, you can't just get up and go open someone's head .
Your argument does not hold water.
