Obama Warns Against ‘Aggressive’ Nationalism, ‘Increased Resentment’
Talking Points Memo ^ | July 1, 2017 | Esme Cribb

Former President Barack Obama on Saturday warned against “aggressive” nationalism and the loss of tolerance and respect for others, pushing back against President Donald Trump’s 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 don’t 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 we’ll see more intolerance, more tribal divisions, more ethnic divisions and religious divisions and more violence.”

“Let’s face it, if people do not show respect and tolerance, eventually you have war and conflict,” Obama said. “Sooner or later societies break down.”

Too much patriotism?

http://www.theamericanmirror.com/obama-warns-americans-much-patriotism-july-4th-weekend/

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.

Someone needs to check the psychological well-being of this POS because he has already forgotten that HE is one who single-handedly did more to INCREASE TENSION among opposing groups than any other pResident in history.

STAY in your Indonesian homeland, STFU and DON'T COME BACK, arsehole.

He said the world must fight “discrimination against people based on race or ethnicity or religion.”

Does that include Christians, whites and white males in particular?

Nationalism is the greatest threat to Globalism.

We can't have people proud of their own countries, now..can we?

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!!!

the lyin’ king had his fingers crossed when he took the oath...

You can have Taqiyya or crossed fingers; using both is redundant.

Obama is really something when he goes to Indonesia and criticizes the USA for religious discrimination.

Smoke On The Water
Recorded by Bob Wills & by Tommy Duncan
Written by Earl Nunn & Zeke Clements

C
There will be a sad day coming for the foes of all mankind
D7 G7
They must answer to the people and it’s troubling their mind
C
Everybody who must fear them will rejoice on that great day
G7 C
When the powers of dictators shall be taken all away

There’ll be smoke on the water On the land and the sea
D7 G7
When our Army and Navy overtake the enemy
C
There’ll be smoke on the mountain where the heathen gods stay
G7 C
And the sun that is shining will go down on that day

Hirohito along with Hitler will be riding on a rail
D7 G7
Mussolini’ll beg for mercy as a leader he has failed
C
There’s be no time for pity when the screaming Eagle flies
G7 C
That will be the end of axis they must answer with their lives

There’ll be smoke on the water On the land and the sea
D7 G7
When our Army and Navy overtake the enemy
C
There’ll be smoke on the mountain where the heathen Gods stay
G7 C
And the sun that is shining will go down on that day

“The world is at a crossroads,” Obama said

The catastrophe of change has cornered us into the culmination of the crux of the upcoming crunch crisis.
