Another definition of patriotism is, the conviction that your national identity is more important than the fact that you're a
human being.
Just after 9/11, I heard a combo of radio talk-hosts pumping up a bunch of the most jingoistic "patriotism", pushing "proud to be an American" to the max. A caller dared to respond that he loved this country, and felt very fortunate to have been born here, but that he realized that he was American by accident of birth, and had no more right to take pride in it than in having been born blond or blue-eyed. The radio hosts responded with absolute vehemence against him, declaring him totally unfit to be an American.
