you can be patriotic for your state and your city. you can also be patriotic when no competition is involved, like the 4th of July.

hell, imagine being patriotic by just encouraging people to stop watching the b.s. on the news and actually visit the US? there are French people on youtube who came here to visit that are more patriotic, waving the flag for America, than half the American citizens who live here.

why do you care what other people do? "live and let live" doesn't mean "they didn't live and let live so why should i". be the bigger person! right? ;)
