“People have forgotten that bullies are cowards,” said Prof. Robert George, the McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University and author of books and of articles, including “Solzhenitsyn’s Prophecy.”
“We need outspokenness. It’s the power of the word, not the force of arms, that will win this battle. But if people are too afraid, too frightened, too intimidated, too bullied to speak out against the bully — to stand up and defy the bully when the bully says, ‘Oh, you’re not allowed to say that,’ or the bully says, ‘Oh, you must say this, you must give me your loyalty oath’ — until somebody stands up, until we gather ourselves and stand up to the bullies, this bullying is going to continue. But the minute that we do stand up, the bully will be revealed to be what all bullies are…a coward. And then we will begin to restore our civilization and our country.”
