I oppose any attempt to grant homosexual unions the same legal privileges that civil government affords to traditional marriage and family life.

I grew up in the southern United States in a city which at that time during the late '40's and early '50's was the most segregated city in the country and in a sense learning how to oppose the status quo was a question of survival.

If I don't need the money I don't work. I'm going to spend time with my family and friends and I'm going to travel and read and listen to music and try to learn a little bit more about how to be a human being as opposed to learning how to be somebody else.

Moreover as the leadership of the House confirmed last year the Administration remains opposed to a congressional resolution on the Armenian Genocide due to Turkish objections. This approach sends absolutely the wrong signal to Turkey and to the rest of the world.

I am not opposed to intelligence reform on its face but any changes should reflect the current context.

The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.

I hope I'm in a position to make stuff that I really want to make as opposed to stuff that I just have to make for money reasons or to sustain a certain marquee value.

It's true that General Musharraf opposes my return seeing me as a symbol of democracy in the country. He is comfortable with dictatorship. I hope better sense prevails.

You say that your hope is in God and he will I am sure stand by you. But you must not forget that you have been given worldly means to use and employ against human arrogance and wrong it is necessary to see such things with a broad mind in order to oppose them.

The cause of my life has been to oppose superstition. It's a battle you can't hope to win - it's a battle that's going to go on forever. It's part of the human condition.

Most foreign policies that history has marked highly in whatever country have been originated by leaders who were opposed by experts.

Americans oppose Obamacare because they understand that it is inconsistent with our liberties and our idea of limited government and that it will destroy the best health care system in the world.

You bet every member of Congress who votes for this bill ought to read it read it thoroughly and understand that what we're looking at here amounts to nothing more than a government takeover of our health care economy paid for with nearly a trillion dollars in new taxes on individuals and small businesses. And it must be opposed.

I am opposed to anybody making a decision for you or me or anybody else about what health care plan we should have.

There are goods so opposed that we cannot seize both but by too much prudence may pass between them at too great a distance to reach either.

Like me the great majority of Americans wish both to preserve the traditional definition of marriage and to oppose bias and intolerance directed towards gays and lesbians.

I am very much opposed to abortion personally. But I don't think it is the government's rule.

Liberal Democrats are inexorably opposed to tax cuts because tax cuts give people more power and take away from the role of government.

I am absolutely opposed to a national ID card. This is a total contradiction of what a free society is all about. The purpose of government is to protect the secrecy and the privacy of all individuals not the secrecy of government. We don't need a national ID card.

It's always nice when you do something and it's well received as opposed to the other way which God knows happens to everybody. When the good times come around you take a deep breath appreciate it but not take it too seriously.
