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.
I'm not sure where you're getting the aspects of patriotism. I'm patriotic because I love my country because it's home. It's the culture I know and love, it has the kind of people that I'm used to. I am relieved when I'm in Texas because I know that I won't stand out wearing a cowboy hat and boots. I won't be looked down on for my hick accent. I'm comfortable here therefore I am happy here and I love that I can be myself here. Doesn't mean I dislike another country nor does it mean that I think it's better than another country it just means I love my country and home.
