Telling It Like It Is

One of the easiest ways to distinguish between a liar or a liberal (often the same thing) and someone telling you the truth is how succintly they speak.

A perfect example is Bill "Bubba" Clinton. When a guy has to parse the meaning of "is", you know you're dealing with a full-blown liar. For an example of a straight-shooting, truth teller, check out this quote from Pres. Bush via the Federalist Patriot:

"[W]e fight today because terrorists want to attack our country and kill our citizens -- and Iraq is where they are making their stand. So we will fight them there.... [W]e will fight them across the world -- and we will stay in the fight until the fight is won. ... We know that if evil is not confronted, it gains in strength and audacity, and returns to strike us again. We know that when the work is hard, the proper response is not retreat; it is courage.... When the history of this period is written, the liberation of Afghanistan and the liberation of Iraq will be remembered as great turning points in the story of freedom."

--President George W. Bush
