An honest person never really knows if ignorance applies to them or those they disagree with when there is less than absolute certainty. Most issues in politics are decided in an environment of less than absolute certainty.
I find it ironic that, me, a hard ass conservative is displaying more empathy to differing points of view than bleeding heart liberals.

A) There is disagreement on what WMD are. Some say they are only defined by nuclear weapons, others don't.
B) Tax rate cuts, all other things being equal will not increase taxes collected by the government, but we know all thing were not equal. Those who understand that, know certain assumptions have to be made when analyzing the consequences of tax cuts. Those assumption can have a dramatic affect one way or the other. so the real question involves understanding the assumptions, rather than accepting them on faith.
