I love my home and I feel very connected to it. My patriotism has the effect that I always vote and I really care about what happens in my country. I want to protect the good things and change our faults.
Then there's another kind of patriotism that I believe you refer to:
People who think their country is better then any other, and therefor they themselves are better then other people. They neglect any of their country's past and present mistakes. And they see every foreigner as a threat.
Those kinds of patriots can be found everywhere. It's just that in the US people don't seem to notice that others don't see them like that. Also Hollywood can be very pushy with their flags, speaches, heroic soldiers and anthems...
I'm sure you know what I mean.
