Your definition and mine of patriotism obviously are never going to agree. My definition falls in line with how 4 different dictionary definitions define.

Love of one's country and the willingness to fight and defend it.

Doesn't qualify it by saying anything about thinking a country is perfect or seeing the imperfections.

I'm done.
