Patriots are few and far between when tyranny is strong. As the tyrant falls, patriots abound. But their patriotism is suspect. Accept no revolutionary leader who has not paid his dues with longevity, determination, sacrifice, defiance, dedication to unvarnished truth and love of his people. David Lane (white nationalist)
I've been through a lot of hearings about one damn thing and another. Most of the time they're exercises in ass covering. If the unvarnished truth ever came out at one, it would be because someone screwed up. Daniel Abraham
Words have great cumulative power, but in the 21st century, a single image is much stronger. An image suggests the unvarnished truth. That is its power and its fiction. Alexandra Kerry
The unvarnished truth is that we have spent the last decade funding the machinery of war, and our children have been sacrificed. LeVar Burton
Ever since I came to Congress in 1992, there are those who have been trying to silence my voice. I've been told to 'sit down and shut up' over and over again. Well, I won't sit down and I won't shut up until the full and unvarnished truth is placed before the American people. Cynthia McKinney
