I’m content to accept that “”X is patriotic” entails “X believes X’s country is good”″ ⇒ “X’s patriotism is true only if X’s country is good”.
I would accept those, or at least continue the conversation without commenting, although I’d squirm rather a lot at the final one. What I couldn’t accept is “patriotism is true”.
