What is "The Patriot Card".

A phrase coined after a comment on YouTube prompted it. The Patriot Card, is a tactic used by anyone to falsely accuse someone of being unpatriotic or disrespectful to their own country, in this case, The USA. It is meant to silence anyone or group by falsely stating that the individual or group in question is unpatriotic when it is completely untrue. The intended affect is to stop the statement or agenda from continuing to be perpetuated by slandering the group or individual.

It is used exactly in the same way that "The Race Card" is used to falsely accuse someone of being racist in order to deter an individual or group from their agenda, no matter what that agenda is.

This is sadly the way many debates that are in the public eye won. The user of The Patriot Card is trying to win a debate by using the public naivety against his opponent.
