About This Quote

The term unpatriotic first appeared in the first half of the 20th century. The use of the term has changed and evolved to mean that it is unpatriotic to criticize or speak out against the actions of the government that protects our country. At this point, it is used as a way to silence those who disagree with the government and as a means of trying to shut down criticism and dissenting viewpoints.
