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.

The man is a marxist to his core and he is incapable of thinking his way out of it, despite the incredible gifts and opportunities this country has bestowed on him.

It’s not too much patriotism we need to avoid; it’s too much obama, and we’ve had way more than our fair share.

Agreed, he is a POS.

He wasn't raised to love America, or even to respect it and what it stands for.

He’s definitely telegraphing.

I don’t trust this Marxist POS as far as I could throw him.

Funny how he announces our need for tolerance in the country where he had his tranny nanny.

The Left simply can't make up its mind about nationalism. One minute they're praising the nationalism of Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Mao Tse-tung, Ho Chi Minh, Patrice Lumumba, Malcolm X, and Puerto Rican terrorists. The next minute they're warning about what a bad thing it is in Donald Trump and Americans. Ain't that funny?

I sometimes wonder how the current Left feels about the left wing white nationalisms: Irish, Scots, Welsh, Manx, Breton, Cornish, Basque, Catalonian, Quebec, etc. Do the Lapps count? When do the Cajuns get one? And is anyone aware of the fact that the Gypsies are "Aryans" while the Hungarians aren't?

The only way to get the truth out of this traitor/imposter is for him to be in a Fed SuperMax for his many, many crimes...and his being waterboarded with great prejudice. He is the greatest fraud in USA history.

He’s done. Finished. And this site should be finished with him too.

Except he's not finished. While FReepers were calling Obama "lazy" he was going about the business of infiltrating DC with countless thousands upon thousands of loyalists at every level of the swamp. 90% of all government workers in DC are registered Democrats. The people who hired them are Democrats. Their bosses are Democrats. The people who work under them are Democrats.

And Obama just bought a house in DC to watch over everything. Sure, he may be on vacation right now but you can bet Valarie Jarrett is at home.

So much for tolerance what'shisname has no love of country.

What'hisname has no tolerance for American Exceptionalism...

Bo is like a dried up dog turd. He needs to be crushed and swept aside like every enemy America has ever had.
