AS long as you're reasonable with it, I see no issue. I agree with Carlin, though - pride should be reserved for something you earned, not something you were born with or were given.
Though I admit, of patriots worldwide, I tend to hate American patriots the most because not only are they the most delusional, but they're RIGHT THERE! one floor down! I can't go anywhere without "AMERICAN FUCK YEAH!" chants, and a constant reminder of how arrogant the nation is as a whole. Which wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't at the expense of others. Fuck immigrants. fuck foreigners. Fuck muslims and anyone who doesn't believe the god we do. Fuck canada for thinking they're better than us! Fuck people in our own country who we deem un-american or anti-constitutionalist.
So really, it's just the rednecks and red-states.
Still, national pride is often misplaced and silly. I like being in Canada because I feel safe here, but I'm not deluded into thinking the nation I was born in is perfect. In fact, there's a lot of historical instances where I'm straight up sickened by my ancestors!
