Get the Patriotisnt mug.Related Words
A corporate-funded astroturf campaign disguised as a grass roots movement. A movement who's main objective is to further enrich the top 1% through various subversive means such as cutting the top tax rate (which is already the lowest it's been since the 1920s), and which has little agenda otherwise.
The Tea Party Patriots Official American Grassroots Movement is actually just a disingenuous attempt by the billionaire Koch brothers and Fox News to shift the country's economic policy further in favor of wealthy, powerful elites, ignoring the fact that such policies under George Dubya led to the Great Recession.

Get the patriots.win mug.The act of allegiance to a cause without clear thought, a complete one sided agreement of committing loyalty.
One of the biggest brainwashing techniques used and exposes the true gullibility of people to accepting such nonsense from their government.
Most obvious in the United States of America. See Brainwashed.
People are brought up with the thought the U.S. is clearly better than everyone else in the world and all that crap about how it's the "greatest country in the world" even when the people saying this have never been outside the U.S.
No matter how many bad things our government does, they will defend them because, it's their home country. We saw this when the people didn't think twice about the Patriot Act.
This is why people in America let such war criminals stay in power and don't even bother trying to shake the corruption. Their indoctrination through youth and don't even think about it, they see everything completely one sided. They will always make excuses how this is the land of the "free" and it's not a communist country as if that means the U.S. is completely free of corruption and imperialism.
Governments are not the only example, it happens in religion too. Especially if you are raised in a specific religion and taught the mindset, it is clearly blind patriotism when thinking one sided and not looking at the full table and thinking rationally and having second thoughts.

Blind Patriotism in a nutshell

Guy Two: "How do you know that?"
Guy One: "I just know it is."
Guy Two: "Have you ever been to any other countries in the world?"
Guy One: "No"
Guy Two: "Then how do you know America is really the greatest country in the world?"

Get the Blind Patriotism mug.by danbrown4life February 8, 2008
Get the pastriotism mug.A small group of trashy, uneducated, hypocrites who wave signs in protest of things they do not understand. A lot of these people will believe anything you tell them about the government as long as it has to do with taxes and conspiracies. They are constantly concerned that people are coming to take their guns and cite their own made up facts to convince you of it. Fueled by racism, this group did not exist prior to the election of our first African American President. These people share many similar traits to your common Wal*Mart white trash yet have the uncanny drive to create sharpie signs with words on them they will never understand. Their cultural icons are Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Sarah Palin. While most of these toothless rejects don't possess the mental capacity to blink while walking without falling down, at some point they've been made to feel that their ignorant bigoted opinions are worth something more than the welfare checks they receive monthly. Which has led to many comical protests that resemble a trailer park circus. They are not to be taken seriously considering there are currently no professional wrestlers currently considering a Presidential bid. If you do come in physical contact with a Tea Party Patriot be sure to wash the affected area immediately. Lice and stench are the two most common symptoms people report after coming in contact with these brainless, white trash, morons.
Small Child : Mommy, what is that toothless thing over there waving that sign and screaming about hating n*ggers and Mexicans and loving his gun?
Mother : That is a product of economic plight in this country, my dear. You see, it never received a proper education so it was forced to move into a trailer and become one of the Tea Party Patriots.
