No. But I hate it if something is said like "ex cathedra". Especially, when exactly the opposite is commonly known and accepted.
Such sounds in my ears as if I was taken for a ride.
English lesson for today, Walter:
The phrase "not all that" does not indicate that which follows is not true.
On the contrary, when Foxy said, it was "not all that Liberal," she was stating it WAS liberal, just not to a degree she finds to be troubling.
Does that trouble you?
Thank you Tico. That is precisely what I was saying. Trudeau even has characters speaking conservative points of view--usually to be able to attack them, but they still are useful as illustration. And I have not found Trudeau to be the hypocritical kind of liberal that makes me gnash my teeth.
His main contribution is probably to inspire others give us Calvin & Hobbes and Mallard Fillmore and a couple of other strips that present a more conservative point of view, though it can be argued that it may not be a completely positive thing if the Sunday funnies becomes another political battleground.
