Is patriotism cult mentality?
You're told to fight for it, die for it, serve it, and sing meaningless songs and memorize abstract facts of no value. Then you're told that if you don't, you prove nothing of worth to the country.
Sounds like many cults to me

Cults are bad and do bad things. 0bama may be trying to turn America into a cult but we won't let him.

I have no loyalty to abstractions. I prefer the archaic meaning of "patriotism" which is loyalty to nation, and nation of course is defined first by blood then by soil. Blood and Soil is what it is all about. Artificial collectives supposedly united under a government in a defined geographical area are not really the things that inspire my "patriotism."
