As the title suggests, Some Things Considered will consider, well, some things. For one thing, we have a limited budget—in fact, we have no budget—and we simply don’t have the resources to consider all things like the crew at NPR.

As people might guess, Some Things Considered has no affiliation with NPR. It does not subscribe to their worldview, nor do we adhere to their monotony (vocally speaking). We are a discussion among friends, a conversation around the dinner table.  

Perhaps you are wondering—like we are—why people over the last few years have become so damn mean or why we must conform for conformity’s sake. Other questions we are considering are what has become of America, the dream of the world we grew up in. Yet other considerations are what happened to education, the arts, science, sports and entertainment, journalism—or sanity, for that matter.  

Tune in bi-weekly as we probe these and other topics, as well as have a few laughs.

In case you haven’t noticed, the Democratic Party is being taken over by socialists or, dare we say, communists. Many are running in Democratic primaries - and winning. They’d like to get rid of the police, or even prisons, and while they’re at it, they wouldn’t mind dumping the President and the Senate too.

On this episode of Some Things Considered, Jennifer Meadows, Richard Moore, and Curtice Mang take a look at the new American socialists. Perhaps, they aren’t even socialists at all, but really fascists.

We’ll discuss the history of socialism, communism, and fascism from Marx to Lenin to Stalin to Mussolini and Hitler - there just isn’t much difference - and what it’s doing here in the United States in the 21st Century. Let’s just say, those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.
