“The truth is even though we sort of feel like we have equal rights in America, right under the surface we have huge issues at play that really do affect women.

“Actually, I don't really consider myself either a Liberal or a Conservative. Truth be told, I consider myself a 'Truthetarian.' I try to examine each separate issue and go to where I feel the truth is. And, yes, I must admit that more often than not, when I do this, upon arrival, I do seem to find myself in the company of left-minded people. However, quite often, I'm more than a little surprised to find myself standing in a room full of right-wingers!” PeopleFeelsTryingLittlesSeemsPoliticsLeftRoomsCompanyIssuesTruth IsStandingConservativeArrivalsTruth Be Told Author:Derek R.

“To be outspoken when truth is under attack, when charity is being bruise, or when important issues of life are at stake is a good and courageous thing.

“I love Twitter. It doesn't keep me from writing and I think it's a really convenient scapegoat when the truth is that the real issue is self-control. I am totally fine admitting i have none.

“It's so easy to demagogue the issue and make someone who speaks out against the internal-combustion engine sound like an insane communist, when the truth is that the internal-combustion engine is the biggest threat to my life in the next 25 years, in terms of what it's doing to our environment and how it's depleting the ozone layer and so forth.” SpeakEasySoundTermIssuesEnvironmentOur LivesTruth IsThreatInsaneInternalsCommunistEnginesLayersOur EnvironmentSpeaks OutCombustionOzoneOzone Layer Author:Bill Maher
“...There are issues worth advancing in images worth admiring; and the truth is never "plain," nor appearances ever "sincere." To try to make them so is to neutralize the primary, gorgeous eccentricity of imagery in Western culture since the Reformation: the fact that it cannot be trusted, that imagery is always presumed to be proposing something contestable and controversial. This is the sheer, ebullient, slithering, dangerous fun of it. No image is presumed inviolable in our dance hall of visual politics, and all images are potentially powerful.” TryingFactsCultureFunPowerfulIssuesDangerousTruth IsWesternAppearancePrimariesVisualsHallsSincereTrustedSheerGorgeousImageryControversialReformationAdvancingAdmiringEccentricityWestern Culture Author:Dave Hickey
“Now the truth is, writing is a great way to deal with a lot of difficult emotional issues. It can be very therapeutic, but that's best done in your journal, or on your blog if you're an exhibitionist.

“The truth is that political consciousness in this country is pretty low... To the degree that we can help educate and organize people around the most important issues facing their lives and show that there is support for fundamental changes in the way we do business in the United States of America in terms of income inequality, in terms of low wages, in terms of disastrous trade policies, in terms of being the only major country not to have a national healthcare program - that's success.” PeopleWayImportantCountryStatesHelpingShowsAmericaPoliticalTermUnitedConsciousnessUnited StatesSupportIssuesPolicyTruth IsDegreesMajorsLowsProgramFundamentalsTradeIncomeInequalityEducateHealthcareOrganizeUnited States Of AmericaWagesImportant IssuesIncome Inequality Author:Bernie Sanders
