My Take
What strikes me about Robert P. George is the distance he traveled, from Morgantown, West Virginia to Oxford and the McCormick chair at Princeton, without losing his combative edge. He is not a cloistered academic; he wades into the loudest debates of the day and states his convictions plainly, which is why a Presidential Citizens Medal sits beside fierce critics. You do not have to share his views to respect a thinker who refuses to hedge. In an era of careful, focus-grouped intellectuals, his willingness to plant a flag and defend it feels almost old-fashioned, and genuinely interesting.
