sexy truth-teller

Someone who holds ridiculous opinions that are unpopular for a reason and spews them to anyone who will listen (and many who won't) in a most asinine manner while believing that they are edgy, sexy, and everything cool for doing so AND that they are bravely showing the rest of the world the cold, hard truth.

Sexy Truth-Teller: Women really are lesser beings than men. They're only good for cooking and screwing. If that hurts, too bad. I'm only speaking the truth that most people are too afraid to face.

Person: Wow, you fancy yourself some kind of sexy truth-teller, huh?

True Truth

True truth is not relative but absolute. True truth is true even if we don't think it's true. In other words, true truth is always true. To be used in agreement with something/someone.

Used to agree with someone/something.
ie.
Person1: Brooklyn Decker is so hot.
Person2: True truth. She is so totally hot.

Speak the Truth to Power

To Speak the Truth to Power can be applied today to those in the people's House, the House of Representatives, who are speaking the truth to "the powers that be" in the more senior Senate and in the Executive branch of government. Regardless of which political party controls these branches of government, after an election in which control of the House changes parties, and when the Senate and/or the White House are in the control of the other party, truly the new members of the House can Speak the Truth to Power. Many sayings originate in one group and spread to the general public, from jazz, a movie line, etc. While this saying may have originated with liberals, it probably originated when liberals were in the minority. The more salient feature is not whether the speaker of the saying is liberal or conservative, but whether (s)he is in power or not.

Health review leader promises to ‘speak the truth to power’
... the review was a chance to ‘pause, listen, reflect and improve’ on the proposals before they were passed back to the House of Lords in June ... I come from a sector that speaks truth to power. So people can be assured when they’re making comments to us we will listen to what they say’ (Sir Stephen Bubb).

Jason: So, bullshit?
Bob: Sounds like bullshit to me.

Ministry of truth

Something that existed under Stalin and was discussed in George Orwell's 1984.

The disinformation governance board is supposed to behave like the ministry of truth. You should be concerned, very concerned.

truth begins in lies

First quoted by Dr.House. Meaning that only by looking through people's lies can you discover the truth.

Friend 1: "She lied to me dude."

Friend 2: "Well look at it this way, truth begins in lies. Think about it."
