For me it is only a quection, why someone is patriotic. I do not see it as a good thing when someone is patriotic. I rather like people which are happy with the opportunities they get. To be greatful I see as a positive attitude. Patriotism I look down on every time. So obviously I am unhappy with the storm on the capitol. But still they can be patriots in their mind. Depends only on the fact if they love a nation or not. Loving a nation is independent from the actions a person participates in. Patriotism is cheap. Patriotism is worthless.
