Logical Fallacy of Appeal to Patriotism

The Logical Fallacy of Appeal to Patriotism occurs when truth is determined by what makes one feel and look patriotic. Often, the term, "unpatriotic," is used.

Examples of the Logical Fallacy of Appeal to Patriotism

"This new bill is the law of the land. It’s unpatriotic to think that it’s a bad bill."

When a law promotes sin, it’s a bad bill.

“The Supreme Court has passed Roe versus Wade. That should be the end of the discussion. To oppose abortion is unpatriotic.”

Courts become corrupt in a country that drifts away from God. We know that by revelation. And what some politician declares to be patriotism does not have any effect on what God calls right and good.
