When Steven got into college and took US History 101, he was stunned to find out the police used to beat the shit out of MLK during his peaceful protests. His acquaintance Jamal leaned in and said, "yeah you must of gotten that Patriotic Education back home".

It means anything the utterer wants it to mean, therefore it doesn't mean anything to anyone. Usually used by idiots
An ex aquaintance of mine has a "fighting for Britain bulldog tattoo thingy on his arm. He's currently stationed at HMP Wandsworth, fighting for Britain. 5 years I believe. I think he's studied for loads of O Levels or whatever they call em now. 24 in total so far I reckon.
A case proven Patriotic Genius if ever there was one.

Canadian Patriotism is a special type of Patriotism that focuses solely on two things:
1. Being Not-Americans. (Being Not-British was also once a part of being Canadian, but has since faded over the decades)
Not-Americans are generally chauvinistic towards Americans, and will explicitly show its people of Not-Americans how stupid Americans are.
In reverse, Not-Americans will show their hypocrisy by attacking any American that bashes Not-America. They will call Americans patriotic whores, among other racial slurs. They will then hide behind their wall of stereotyped innocence.
2. Blowing every one of Canada's accomplishments out of proportion.
That includes: everything that the British army did before Canada was autonomous, every invention made by someone of another country residing in Canada at the time, and every celebrity that was born in Canada, but resides in America. (See Joshua Jackson.)
Common subjects are as follows:
- "Canadians" (British) burned the White House down in 1812.
- The fact that Canadian beer has a higher alcohol percentage than American.
- One of the largest freestanding structures.
- Record for most gold medals at home.
- Every game that Canada invented that America hijacked and made better.
- Canada's the second largest landmass.
In addition to those two, Canadian Patriotism means consciously believing in the diverse country that is Canada, and partaking in the extremely satirical Canadian humour.

"Canadian Patriotism" is clear when looking at the comments on Canadian songs on Youtube. The highest rated comments are usually the most chauvinist and hypocritical.

1. (n) People that cannot think for themselves, but blindly follow a cause that is based on a lie. Somewhat comparable to sheeple.
2. (n) A person that claims to be patriotic, but doesn't actually show his patriotism. Somewhat comparable with poseur.

Look at those ass patriots watching Faux News, they act like sheeple everytime the president talks about fighting terrorism, yet he's rescinding civil liberties and data mining everybody in the nation. Asshats!
You are such an ass patriot, Doug. You criticise people for not supporting the war, but I don't see you running to the recruiter's office to get enlisted.

Eggs and milk cooked around bread. Similar to French Toast, but tastes better because it's American.
