Hatriotism is the opposite of Patriotism, and is used by Political Figures to intentionally pass legislation that harms their citizens Standard of Living or Freedom.
An example of this would be the "Patriot Act" signed by George W. Bush, or Joe Biden's proposed 4.7 Trillion dollar yearly tax increase.
Ron: "The Patriot Act was an act of Hatriotism from George W. Bush!"
Hank: "So is Joe Biden's proposal for a 4.7 Trillion dollar yearly tax increase!"
Ron: "An act of Hatriotism indeed."
noun- refers to nationalism contaminated by bigotry. A hatriot defines himself by his nationality, and by how much he dislikes any who disagree with his nation's agenda. Thus, his/her/its(the nations) nationality becomes defined by all that he/she/it do not oppose. Oftentimes, it is considered acceptable to take cheap shots, racial or otherwise, at individuals/institutions that represent oppositional ideas etc.
Similar in nature to branding opposition w/i one's own nation as anti their own nation and its ideals. For example, un-American
jingoism
imperialism
george w. bush
freedom fries
hatriot
Cold War
Hatriotism went hand in hand with unilateralism.
In an unprecedented act of hatriotism, the US House of Representatives voted on March 11, 2003 to replace the 'French' descriptor in French fries and toast with 'Freedom' due to anti-French sentiment caused by France's refusal to join the 'Coalition of the Willing'.

Someone who claims to love America but hates the majority of the people who actually live there. Hatriots often romanticize small towns and rural areas, which they view as the "Real America", and they mistrust large cities, which are full of liberal elites, colored people, and the undeserving poor.
Sarah Palin was a hatriot when she said "We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation."

A term best applied to right-wing fearmongers who claim anything non-white and non-Christian to be evil. It's also the force behind such measures as the Patriot Act, the Defense of Marriage Act, and the War on "Terror" (a.k.a. Oilgate).
By keeping the terror alert in America at a constant high through acts of hatriotism, the Bush Administration hopes to distract the average American voter just long enough to win his or her vote this November. Those darned evil-doers.

1. Proving your patriotism by hating the people or things you are instructed to hate by demagogues, arbiters of social or moral issues, or politicians inside of or outside of the current government administration.
2. Nationalistic Demagoguery.
Looks like Chavez has come out as totally socialist, and we've been told socialist are all Godless and hellbent on world domination. I better hate Venezuela lest I be branded unpatriotic.
Hatriotism in America today is spurred on by radio pundits.
While seemingly incompatible with Christian values, hatred and xenophobia have successfully been employed for political gains among Christian voters in the U.S. Thus, hatriotism has been a powerful tool of the republican party.

Anyone who loudly and publicly exhibits hatred against a person or race or nation or religion and believes that they are serving the national interest.
Anyone who wants to persecute all Muslims loudly and publicly, and even violently, because they believe all Muslims are terrorists and think hatred is valid social behavior, is a hatriot, not a patriot, ... hatriotism is patriotism gone bad.
