You're thinking of Nationalism. Patriotism is the love of your country/state/ideal, but love the way an adult loves something. You understand it has flaws, that nothing is perfect or eternal, and that everything (even good things) require constant work, upkeep and sharing of ideas.
Nationalism loves it's nation like a toddler loves mommy. Mommy is perfect and already the best possible and anybody who says otherwise is automatically bad.
Be a patriot, don't be a nationalist.
Patriotic alternative?? WTF? >

Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel, or on this case Fascist. >

Last refuge of the incompetent.
