Barack Obama is once again lecturing Americans on his version of “democracy,” very slyly suggesting the Constitution as a “rulebook” for a “pluralist democracy,” code words for Marxist communism. The definition of pluralism is “a condition or system in which two or more states, groups, principles, sources of authority, etc., coexist.” Obama, however, is defining pluralism as finding common ground to build coalitions that change society. Sound reasonable? It does until one looks beneath the veneer of words that sound like sweet new concepts, but in reality are proposing just another trip down the worn and miserable path of statism.
At his December 7, 2024 Obama Foundation Democracy Forum, Obama built the case for everyone working together for a successful democracy—pluralism, as he called it. Then, he took his audience to his real agenda, “Pluralism is not about holding hands and singing “Kumbaya.” It is not about abandoning your convictions and folding when things get tough. It is about recognizing that in a democracy, power comes from forging alliances, and building coalitions, and making room in those coalitions not only for the woke but also for the waking.” And he says this is how its done: “Create more organizations from elementary school all the way through adulthood, that bring people together to do something.”
He continued: “There are going to be times, potentially, when one side tries to stack the deck and lock in a permanent grip on power, either by actively suppressing votes, or politicizing the armed forces, or using the judiciary or criminal justice system to go after their opponents. And in those circumstances, pluralism does not call for us to just stand back and say ‘well, I’m not sure, that’s okay’. In those circumstances, a line has been crossed and we have to stand firm and speak out and organize and mobilize as forcefully as we can.” Obama is describing exactly what the Democratic Party has been doing for years and suggesting that when someone else does it, force is justified. Work together until you don’t get your way, then resist with force if need be. This is Obama’s true color of pluralism. And it is what we are seeing being played out today.
In his October 27, 1964 speech “A time for choosing,” Ronald Reagan prophetically explained Obama’s gaslighting: “But as a former Democrat, I can tell you…back in 1936, Mr. Democrat himself, Al Smith, the great American, came before the American people and charged that the leadership of his Party was taking the Party of Jefferson, Jackson, and Cleveland down the road under the banners of Marx, Lenin, and Stalin…Somewhere a perversion has taken place.” That perversion Reagan so aptly identified is ingrained in today’s godless Democratic Party with Obama as its godfather. As Christ said in Matthew 24:4, “Take heed that no man deceive you.” Call it pluralism, progressivism, democracy, or whatever you want, redefining freedom and liberty into tyranny and statism is, say it with me…Stupidocrisy. Especially, for those who fall for it.
