When an American starts speaking fondly of the beauty of his country, of its past heroes and principles, and of all the good things about it, I listen, approve and enjoy. When he starts talking about "God's Country" or "the greatest country in the world", I ask him since when he has taken an Italian passport.

"Nobody loves his country because it is great, but because it is his."

Oh. ;-)

I feel that way about a lot of things...that I enjoy hearing them praised unless the praiser is also dissing other things.
