GrokTALK!: What Happened to the Word “Conservatism”?

This week on GrokTALK! [Rewind] What happened to the word “conservatism”? The Neocons and RINOs wear it like a skin suit, muddying not just its meaning but how the world views people who claim to be conservative. What does it mean, what are its goals, and can we get there from here?

Originally aired Jun 5th 2025. Yes, even I deserve a week off now and again. Happy New Year, BTW – New GT Next week! [AM Updates are new every day this week]

    GrokTALK! has been the eponymous podcasting vehicle of Granitegrok.com since its inception in 2011/2012 (before podcasting was PODCASTING).

    Several iterations of the program have begun and ended, including a three-year continuous run of nearly 200 weekly two-hour episodes. Several attempts at a remote version happened, but it wasn't until late 2024 that owner and editor Steve MacDonald rebooted it as a weekly podcast.

    Note: if you find an old episode you want to hear or watch and the audio or video is not available, email steve@graniteGrok.com and he will dig it out of the archive and reattach it to its post page.
