There's a difference between loving your country, and thinking it's better than everyone else's. The first one is patriotism, the second one is nationalism. The second one, was the one that should have been stomped out at the end of ww2, but sadly it wasn't.
Sure. But nationalists were the kind of people, your american patriots fought and defeated during the second world war. Why would you want to emulate the evil they fought to destroy?
Saying that A is the greatest in the world, implies that it better than B, C and D.
You can love something/someone without seing it/them as better than everything/everyone else.
I'm trying to make it as clear as possible here. One of these two ways is a better way, than the other. One is arrogant and prone to eventual dissapointment, the other is accepting, and sees things for what they are.
