liberals of an elder generation.
Addressing a sparse crowd in
the Union Ballroom, he labeled
liberals of today's adult
generation the "apostles of a
value-free concept in American
society.'
The value-free society work
ed for the adult generation
because it could live on "the
inherited moral capital of
society.' This generation not
only failed to contribute to the
morals of American society,
but "destroyed the faith of the
young in society's value-making
system, Rusher said.
He continued that the result
is a second generation now "in
full-flower on the campuses"
which faces an identity crisis
and alienation.
Rasher charged, A majority

But he asserted that these
leftists will not be the political
leaders of the future.
"They have singular ized
themselves outside American
society. Either they will get
themselves back in, or they will
live outside it all their lives."
