Obama warns against too much Patriotism on Independence Day
By Douglas V. Gibbs

Yeah, I know, Obama is not president anymore, so we really should not give a hoot about what he thinks, or what he says. The problem is, he keeps inserting himself into politics, and there is still an audience willing to believe his stupidity, so it is important to report on it, and counter it.
Some countries have adopted “an aggressive kind of nationalism” and “increased resentment of minority groups”, Obama said in a speech in Indonesia.
“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.”
First, I hope he wasn’t saying America is a democracy, because we’re not. We are a republic.
“My stepfather … was raised a Muslim but he respected Hindus and he respected Buddhists and he respected Christians,” he said. Meanwhile, Obama has mocked Christianity.
ABC News touched on Obama praising the Islamic spirit and Constitution of Indonesia (as they allow Christians and women to be persecuted and abused):
“The spirit of this country has to be one of tolerance. It’s enshrined in Indonesia’s constitution, it’s symbolized by mosques and temples and churches beside each other,” Obama said. “That spirit is one of the defining things about Indonesia. It is one of the most important characteristics to set as an example for other Muslim countries around the world.”
