I think the term patriotic has become a dirty word, most obviously here in the UK. Because when we think Patriotic, we're fed with images of loudmouth louts being offensive, violent and rude against anything they deem as different. Obama's campaign didn't help as YouTube (for example) was flooded with videos of so called Patriots demonstrating their narrow minded opinions during street interviews and rallies. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with loving where you come from. But alot of people tend to use the Umbrella term as an excuse to be ignorant.
