If a country is good, no patriotism is needed to love it. If it is bad, it is wicked to live it.
Being patriotic and loving your country doesn't mean that you don't realize there are faults with it. It's not equivalent to thinking it is perfect.
I think there is a great deal wrong with loving one's own country more than another imrrely because it is one's own country and regardless of the fact that one's own country does not out perform the other in accruing good characteristics and disposing of the bad one's. It is what makes it acceptable for good many otherwise good man to further the wickedness of one's own country.
