Smarter than who? Smarter in what sense? Exactly what do you mean by "libertarians"?

I'd formulate an intelligent response, however I'm not a libertarian.
The blue sky above beckons us to take our freedom, to paint our path across its vastness. Across a million blades of grass, through the roars of our elation and a thousand thundering hooves, we begin our reply.

This is definitely the proper standard with which all people who wish to call themselves "intelligent" should compare themselves. Meaning that the more you agree with this man, the more functional your brain is.

Smarter than a Fifth Grader? Maybe. It seems to be 50/50 across the board these days.

I misread this as "Are Librarians Smarter". Then I immediately went to say "Yes". Then I saw it was "Libertarians"... :?

Our rethoric and ideals are not accessible for the people because of years and years of people being educated to believe in the State, if not in a Strong State.

Claiming that we're smarter is stupidly arrogant, and will not help us. This guy should probably have kept his mouth shut.

Holding certain political beliefs does not make one smarter than anyone else.
I say this as a Libertarian.

Your inability to use even basic grammar (a capital letter and full stop wouldn't kill you) casts a considerable shadow of doubt over your, ugh, "argument".

They certainly have that thing about them that lets people have freedoms and such, they are good people for it, but they are certainly not smarter than people who follow other political brands.

Is it so; that anything could mean nothing; and knowing that is all; could make it all worse?
