Yes I am Patriotic but if my country asks me to do what is wrong then I’m not going to do it. I don’t agree with Samuel Johnson because it doesn’t matter who you are you can still be a patriot. I believe that our country America has made mistakes. My country has had a bad past but the country I live in is still very young and growing. The reason why some people hate america is because they focus on all the bad things that happen and don’t look at the achievements and good things we do. For example we give food to loads of charities and we have gotten the first man on the moon. So my country is great but we’ve had problems but I still believe it’s great.
