description The torrid conflicts of the 1960s produced a profound change in American politics. Nowhere was this change more evident than in the clash between radicals and liberals of the New Left, and the emerging "neoconservative" defenders of American culture and politics. Once members of the Old Left, neoconservatives adopted a "priestly voice" to attack contemporary liberalism and radicalism and to promote their political authority. However, this voice, with its tendency toward rational argument, mediational politics, and appeals to tradition, produced rhetorical and ideological difficulties which may plague much political discourse that aspires to social-political transformation and intellectual justification at the same time.
