I've always liked to surround myself with people who are smarter than I am. It's like having a telescope or a microscope. You can see and comprehend things that would otherwise escape you.

This is absolutely the main reason I hang around FR. There are so many bright minds here, that combined, FR has an IQ that is in the stratosphere. I get smarter simply by osmosis. My IQ is estimated in the Al Gore range (135), but I never fail to learn something new here on FR each day. Its great!

And to think that the Left tries to portray us as low IQ morons.. sheesh, they have no idea... actually, many of them probably do, and thats why they FEAR sites like this one!

Want to say sheepishly that those numbers are skewed.

I evolved into clicking on the "FreeRepublic-Favorite" in my sidebar rather than use the refresh button.

IOW, I probably count as 100 hits during the course of the day.

Plus...FreeRepublic is my homepage too.

I agree completely (post # 362).

I would add that what an IQ test tests is someone's ability to take IQ tests; it doesn't correlate reliably with intelligence, judgment, cleverness, creativity, imagination, wisdom, or the ability to manifest happiness.

Yes, Leftists tend to be elitists. They would love to believe that the vast mass of humanity out there is populated by their inferiors, both intellectual and moral. It's not.

Wonder how Elian's doing?

Wonder how Elian's doing?

Getting a better education than had he been in Florida public "skools", I bet.

And isn't it bad manners to hi-jack a thread? ;^)

Thanks for that post. 3.6 million unique FR visitors is a larger audience, by the way, than subscribes to the NY Times.

With more intelligence, credibility, fairness, and balance than the Slimes, too.

Congratulations all around, and cheers to you, Kristinn. I've always felt honored to take part in Free Republic. It is fun, it is informative, and it has practically no calories :-)

Many "found their way" to FR via Drudge and vice versa.

Between two, people who care started a revolution in the use of modern technology and the gathering of information sources.

Bump for all who dare to seek the truth!

Also a not inconsiderable number of people who care about what's good and clean and decent and honest and fair and right...
