"From the EU’s point of view, if you as a country do not have homosexual marriage or transgender rights or the latest cutting-edge discovery of welfare or immigration rights, you violate 'democracy' and virtually have no rights at all" - was pointed out by Charles Kesler, Professor of Government at Claremont McKenna College and Claremont Graduate University in a conversation with Lénárd Sándor.
"Any putative norm must have broad consensus within the context of a plural world with very diverse political, economic and social settings. It cannot be the lopsided imposition by a powerful or vocal elite as this would be an act of disenfranchisement" - pointed out by Professor Thio Li-Ann in a conversation with Lénárd Sándor.
"To have a free, democratic republic without an education that inspires young citizens to love their country, and to desire to keep it worth loving on one hand, and, on the other, to raise such citizens without a serious religious education is unlikely to produce anything good or lasting" - Richard Samuelson, professor of Hillsdale College pointed out in a conversation with Lénárd Sándor.
"I think the West was in too much in a hurry, and it was too optimistic (especially for this part of Europe) that democracy would be the resolution of a problem or that Russia would be so weak that it could not contest a Western hegemony that was evolving and developing in Europe in the 1990s" - Michael C. Kimmage, professor and department chair of the Catholic University of America pointed out in a conversation with Lénárd Sándor.
“Today there is a risk that in modern administration, people with power are not necessarily fond of traditional American habits, religion, and way of life. There is always a tendency in administration to try to impose new rules on people you do not like” – Adam White pointed out in a conversation with Lénárd Sándor.
