Irving Kristol has described the birth of
neo-conservatism as a response to failure of
liberalism, which culminated in the anarchy of the
60s. It?s not a coincidence that Kristol?s
?disillusioned liberals? made the turn to
neo-conservatism in the early 70s. These
?disillusioned liberals? or ?adversaries of the
adversary culture? as Norman Podhoretz called
them,[vii] who panicked about the political unrest
within the university also included Podhoretz, Nathan
Glazer, and Sydney Hook, among many others. Mrs.
Kristol, the eminent conservative historian Gertrude
Himmelfarb, has pointed to the counter-culture
movement of the 60s that spread from the universities
as one of the prime forces that has led to the modern
fracturing of American society and, more importantly,
its de-moralization.[viii] Clearly conservatives,
young and old alike, have not forgotten that American
universities were at the center of this upheaval. They
do not want to see the same radical opposition within
universities reemerge, especially at a point when they
are mounting their most ambitious bid for power.
