I dreamed even after I laid down my rifle I would continue to uphold my oath to defend the Constitution.
Holding office often requires swearing an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Running for office should include accepting responsibility for this, too, so that our democratic republic’s underpinnings can remain strong for generations to come.

I hate whenever there’s a social issue that comes up in golf and people in the mainstream media who hate golf and who’ve conjured up all these stereotypes of people who are in the sport, the way they tear it down… I resent it, and I’ll defend golf and people in golf until my dying day.
The people standing up most strongly for our democracies should be celebrated, not prosecuted – be it those countless human rights defenders who defend all our rights or the brave whistle-blowers who expose tax dodging.
Flaws and all, I believe the free press is our country’s most important institution – one I am more than happy to defend. One I did, in fact, defend for 37 years.

I have a beautiful little Smith & Wesson, 9 millimeter, and it goes with me virtually everywhere.

The thing I find really scary about ghosts and demons is that you don’t really know what they are or where they are. They’re not very well understood. You don’t know what they want from you. So it’s the kind of thing you don’t even know how to defend yourself against. Anything that’s unknown and mysterious is very scary.
Deception can cost billions. Think Enron, Madoff, the mortgage crisis. Or in the case of double agents and traitors, like Robert Hanssen or Aldrich Ames, lies can betray our country. They can compromise our security. They can undermine democracy. They can cause the deaths of those that defend us.

The proud do not change to improve, but defend their position by rationalizing. Repentance means change, and it takes a humble person to change.
I defend a woman’s right to cover her hair if she chooses, but the face is central to human interaction, and so the ideologues who promote its covering are simply misogynists.
I will work hard at the federal level to defend our progress on climate change, but we know that forward progress on climate must happen locally.
I don’t know a single person that’s like, ”Avatar’ is my favorite movie.’ It never even comes up. I don’t know anyone that will defend that movie.

Everybody has a right to be defended, and every lawyer has a duty to defend people accused. And my office is to defend him, to discuss the accusation point by point, as I think this is a normal step in a democracy.
The Republicans have put together serious detailed counter-proposals when we have objected to this administration’s agenda. And so, I want to tell the President and remind him again, we’re not voting no for political expediency. We’ve got our principles, and we’re going to stand up and defend those.
I won the title with Arsenal in 2004 and it is harder to defend it the following season.
