You've just pointed out that FReepers are obsessive compulsive political junkies. ;-)

Well, I don't know about there being more here than anywhere!

However, we sure have our share of people who think they know it all. :)

There are plenty of nutjobs around here as well, and I think they are starting to outnumber the smart ones. Check out this thread for one example of a heapin' dose of crazy. There was a better example (the one linked in comment #32), but it got pulled due to many FReepers calling for violence against the New York Times and the photographer (whose name and address were posted).

The brain trust here is AMAZING. I agree with you 100 percent, excepting those who worm their way into ZotLand. (Thanks to all the moderators.)

Absolutely correcto! That's one of the great things about F/R. I learn something on F/R about politics, history, literature, technology, and even cooking (!!!) just about every day. I wonder if the same could be said for Kos or DU. Even if one filtered out the volumes of 'hate Bush'-speak from those sites, I think not.

That is one of the greatest advantages of FreeRepublic. No matter what happens, anywhere on the planet, and there is an actual expert who posts a full explaination, or description, or tells you why it can not possibly be what the "journalist" expert said.

A few years back Alamo Girl did a thread on the professions of Freepers. It was amazing!
