My country right or wrong.
To support her when right.
To right her when wrong.

I guess failure to do the second would be an example of "bad patriotism".

A bad example is feeling more patriotic because Obama won the election.

Patriotism has been redefined...
due to the Obama victory...’Patriotism” no longer means what it used to.

Now...Jeremiah Wright is a Patriot
...William Ayers is a Patriot
...Michelle Obama is a Patriot

the meaning has changed...they voted for Change...they got Change.

When working on an assignment like this, it is important to establish working definitions at the onset. Thus, define “patriotism” in terms of the assignment, being aware of and perhaps making the point that the definition can vary from the undermining patriotism of the NYT to the genocide of the NAZI’s. I would then pick the best (worst) liberal example I could find, i.e. Hanoi Jane, and expound on this.

On a slight tangent from your actual question, keep in mind that America is completely unique in human history, in that patriotism is dedication to the ideal of individual freedom as described in the Declaration and the Constitution, not to a geographic area or a leader or even a governmental structure.

Now that being said, it could be argued that the South during the Civil War was led by patriots who, aside from the slavery issue, were dedicated to the same principles as the North (and in the case of State's Rights, more so).
