  <title>Episode 29 - Conservative Minds with Kyle Sammin</title>
  <description>“Welcome to Conservative Minds – a podcast dedicated to examining conservative intellectual history to determine the core values of American conservatism. &amp;amp;nbsp;What does it mean to call yourself a conservative? &amp;amp;nbsp;What did it mean in prior times and how did we get where we are today? &amp;amp;nbsp;We explore these questions and more by turning to conservative political thinkers from the past and present. &amp;amp;nbsp;Each episode we select readings and conduct a discussion to share with you our investigation.” &amp;amp;nbsp; Thus begins each episode of the Conservative Minds podcast.&amp;amp;nbsp; In a dizzying weekly release, cohosts Corey Astillck and Kyle Sammin read a notable work of a conservative intellectual leader and hold a discussion summarizing the reading and comparing/contrasting what they’ve found to previous readings.&amp;amp;nbsp; The result is an interesting and in-depth approach to examining the many nuances of the conservative worldview.&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; Since conservatism isn’t a rigid ideology that can be traced back to a single godfather, it can be notoriously difficult to define.&amp;amp;nbsp; What’s more, there are inherent tensions throughout the worldview that create interesting paradoxes.&amp;amp;nbsp; Sometimes conservative thinkers will emphasize one aspect of conservatism over another and the seeming contradictions may take considerably time and effort to work through.&amp;amp;nbsp; Part of Saving Elephant’s mission is to help clarify and define the conservative worldview—no easy task—and Corey and Kyle have made much progress in this endeavor. &amp;amp;nbsp; Thus far their podcast has included examining the writings of: &amp;amp;nbsp; Barry Goldwater Richard Weaver John Locke George Will Robert Bork Edmund Burke Milton Friedman Robert Nisbet Irving Kristol William F Buckley Patrick Buchanan Friedrich Hayek Alexis de Tocqueville Antonin Scalia &amp;amp;nbsp; In this episode of Saving Elephants, Kyle Sammin joins host Josh Lewis to offer a summary of the discussions he’s had in season one of Conservative Minds.&amp;amp;nbsp; Kyle lives in Pennsylvania where he practices law and writes.&amp;amp;nbsp; His contributions have appeared in The Federalist, National Review Online, Hardball Times, University Bookman, and the Weekly Standard.&amp;amp;nbsp; You can listen to the Conservative Minds podcast here. </description>
