Ladies, and gents.
I give you 20 Oxymorons.
Oxymorons are pretty self explanatory; they are usually a phrase consisting of two words with opposite meanings. Enjoy.
1. Act naturally
2. Found missing
3. Resident alien
4. Advanced BASIC
5. Genuine imitation
6. Airline food
7. Good grief
8. Same difference
9. Almost exactly
10. Government organization
11. Sanitary landfill
12. Alone together
13. Legally drunk
14. Silent scream
15. British fashion
16. Living dead
17. Small crowd
18. Business ethics
19. Soft rock
20. Butt head

Yes, pro is the opposite of con, but that doesn't instantly make progress the opposite of congress; they are two completely uncorrelated words, not related in such a way as pro and con. Therefore, the fact that pro and con is contained in each separate word has no bearing on it's meaning or correlation with other words in real life.
