Who is "they", dummy? You're certainly not talking
about the several Ph.D. holders in economics and
political science whom I know and who consider
themselves "liberal" on most social issues (and, in the
case of the poli-sci guy, on everything.)

Your comment about "Liberals" [sic] having low IQ was
an empty, sophomoric ad hominem.

There's another.
The fact is, your claim is demonstrably false. IQ
positively correlates well with education, and
education positively correlates well with a tendency to
hold liberal political beliefs. Not all intelligent
people are well educated, and not all well educated
people are liberals - me, for example - but the
tendencies are not seriously in dispute.
