Obama Warns Americans About Too Much Patriotism — On July 4th Weekend!
The American Mirror ^ | 07/02/17 | Kyle Olson

Posted on 07/02/2017 8:19:42 AM PDT by Enlightened1

While most Americans are gathering with family and community this weekend to celebrate the most exceptional country in the history of the world, Mr. Hope and Change is halfway around the world talking doom and gloom — and criticizing his successor.

 

Barack Obama visited Indonesia this weekend, and in a series of appearances, attacked love of country and the policies of Donald Trump.

The Guardian reports:

The former US president said some countries had adopted “an aggressive kind of nationalism” and “increased resentment of minority groups”, in a speech in Indonesia on Saturday that could be seen as a commentary on the US as well as Indonesia.

“It’s been clear for a while that the world is at a crossroads. At an inflection point,” Obama said, telling a Jakarta crowd stories of how much the capital had improved since he lived there as a child.

But he said that increased prosperity had been accompanied by new global problems, adding that as the world confronts issues ranging from inequality to terrorism, some countries – both developed and less developed – had adopted a more aggressive and isolationist stance.

“If we don’t 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 we’ll see more intolerance, more tribal divisions, more ethnic divisions, and religious divisions and more violence,” Obama asserted.

While former presidents rarely criticize their successors at home, Obama took the unusual step of going to a foreign country to do it.

I can’t believe Barack Obama had time to get up off his knees wipe his chin and swallow to make this comment.

Bammy, I do not want to hear you speak. You delivered 1.7 billion to our enemy and your buddy, Iran. You hate whites and Christians.

He argues for tolerance out of one side of his mouth while he calls for intolerance of patriots out of the other.

I have no liberal friends, but long ago I had one who could not use the term Patriotism. All he could say was “jingoism”. I hated him for that. Our friendship did not last long afterward. I will suffer no commie libs in my life. None.

“”increased resentment of minority groups””

Exactly what he hoped to accomplish as president. NOW he has to keep his finger on the pulse of the USA to make sure we don’t slip back to the days of NO RIOTS, NO PROTESTS, NO HURT FEELINGS, NO “BLM”, NO GARBAGE SPEWED BY HATERS OF THE WHITE RACE....Gotta keep the HATE going, bozo...

“”Here Mister Obama complains about the true and undeniable legacy of the alleged presidency of Mister Obama.””

Yep - in a nutshell.

...and Obama said this from his adopted home in Indonesia. Priceless. Underlines the anti-American, American-hating traitor he is. Trump needs to call him on this, on Twitter, maybe from the White House. See Dems and media squirm, support and defend America or endorse Obama’s hate.
