Do you consider yourself patriotic? If so, in what way?
Yes. I am loyal to those causes and ideals I believe in. I am patriotic towards rights of life, liberty, and property. And to other principles not of democracy but of freedom.

Quote:
Is patriotism always a good thing? Why or why not?
It depends on what you are patriotic towards.

Quote:
Can someone be patriotic but still criticize aspects of their government? Why or why not?
Yes. Especially if the government is violating the ideals a person believes in. Or even worse the government is violating the ideals it is supposed to represent!
