I really don't want to be a nominee for "The B.H. Obama Award for Outstanding Arrogance". But, a couple of times in my life I have been scolded for arrogance by statists.
Plus, I do think I suffer from "Resting Smug Face" (is that better than "RBF"?).
I think what they mistake for arrogance is actually confidence based upon years of looking at the evidence and reality.
I didn't come to these conclusions lightly- or independently. Sometimes it was even painful, and I had to be dragged kicking and screaming. But, even the tough questions don't disprove the idea that liberty is better than slavery.
I'll always look for counter evidence. I'm suspecting it will never be found.
