Former President Barack Obama on Saturday warned against aggressive nationalism and the loss of tolerance and respect for others, pushing back against President Donald Trumps policies without mentioning his successor by name.
The world is at a crossroads, Obama said at a speech opening the Fourth Congress of Indonesian Diaspora in Jakarta.
He said the world must fight discrimination against people based on race or ethnicity or religion.
Without that, Obama said, We start seeing a rise in sectarian politics.
We start seeing a rise in an aggressive kind of nationalism, he said. We start seeing both in developed and developing countries an increased resentment about minority groups and the bad treatment of people who dont look like us or practice the same faith as us.
Obama said progress depends on those willing to stand up for tolerance and moderation and respect for others.
If we begin to doubt ourselves and all that we have accomplished, then much of the progress that we have made will not continue, he said. What we will see is more and more people arguing against democracy, we will see more and more people who are looking to restrict freedom of the press, and well see more intolerance, more tribal divisions, more ethnic divisions and religious divisions and more violence.
Lets face it, if people do not show respect and tolerance, eventually you have war and conflict, Obama said. Sooner or later societies break down.
Uh, lyin’ king........SDASU.
Ahh, the little man-child speaks. He must be taking some time off from his workout with 5 pound weights,

Too much patriotism?

The oath I took in ‘67 (administered by my Dad who was an O-6) still holds today. Apparently the lyin’ king had his fingers crossed when he took the oath the first time around. The oath means something to a LOT of folks. To others, not so much.
STAY in your Indonesian homeland, STFU and DON'T COME BACK, arsehole.
Does that include Christians, whites and white males in particular?
We can't have people proud of their own countries, now..can we?
He says between tokes.
barry must be counting his lucky stars that he never went head to head with trump.
Trump would have stomped a mudhole in ol barrys face.
Folks...the truth be spoken, Obama is as dead politically as one failed politician can be!!! He can rant all he wants. He killed the Democrat Party, politically, along with himself!!! Barking From Indonesia is the joke of the century!!! LMAO!!! Obama needs to crawl under the rock he birthed from, and stay there in total negative, obscurity, forever!!!
You can have Taqiyya or crossed fingers; using both is redundant.
Does anyone still doubt that O’Bastard was a globalist hack?
10: FUBO
20: Go to 10
Silly little Muslim quota boy.
Obama is really something when he goes to Indonesia and criticizes the USA for religious discrimination.
