Pluralism is defined as a theory that there is more than one basic substance or principle. In ecclesiastical considerations it refers to the holding by one person of two of more offices at the same time.
This is a good thing in that it allows our society to constrict our establishment by allowing a more shared system of government.
It is the theory that reality consists of two or more independent elements.
This is good and fine. But too much today, this concept has been taken to extreme measures.
I hereby coin the term "Radical Pluralism" and suggest that this invokes a setting by which a measure is counted multiple times and one might wish to conjure up a society whereby the entire office system is shared with the few and given to only those with privilege and what the radical pluralists honor.
This translates in the following manner.
If you have ever watched Fox News, there is a group of many Americans who call themselves conservatives. They argue that conservative values are what is missing in America and that our people should press for more independence from "liberal destructive forces". This is actually not conservatism at all and it really is radical pluralism. Conservatism dictates that our needs can be trusted to a careful steward. This is a good thing. But the difference in what you see on Fox news today is that the argument is that our needs need to have a higher earning and more official steward. This is not exactly conservatism.
To say that our needs can only be met by keeping our hands off the citizens activities (limited government) or to say that our needs can only be met by removing certain spending activities that are humanitarian in basis is to argue that our future must be conscripted to dignify only the more materially relevant element of our society. This is not orthodoxy. This is actually paganism and heresy.
So with this blog entry, I wish to convey to my future readers that what we need to fight is this radical pluralism. Conservative is good and fine. The fact is that the radical pluralists hide behind the cloak of conservative values and workings.
In truth conservative and liberal thought processes can indeed co-exist and Should co-exist.
The problem today is that the radical pluralists suggest that our American Ideal of American and Human liberalism is a heresy and that it needs to be squelched out and disrupted in all of its ways.
This is actually a crime and our people should fight to avoid it being the actual future of our nation.
