Because you probably live in a free, democratic society where the liberties granted to it's citizens have reversed into one hyper-critical of its systems of governance as opposed to socialist states such as N Korea, where its citizens live in constant awe and admiration of their leader and believe themselves to live in the most technologically advanced nation in the world. Freedom affords the luxury of contempt for the mechanism of its existence. Hence you couldn't possibly be a patriot, because you are entirely too free to appreciate it.
Besides, in many countries, big-talking flag-waving patriotism is more often than not a defense reaction: individuals with very little self-confidence, or people who feel threatened or suffer from a fear of invasion - either from an aggressive neighbouring state or because of many alien immigrants around them - will often feel a little less insecure when they group together in places, political parties, forums, sports clubs, etc, where they can praise the greatness of their nation, celebrate its glorious past and pledge allegiance to its values... But invariably a few individuals will feel things are going a bit too far for their own taste and they have had enough of it - hence your question!

Probably because we hold contradictory views on the subject of patriotism. On the one hand, Western citizens have been taught that flagrant nationalism, Imperialism, and social Darwinism and dangerous and corrupt ideologies but, at the same time, it seems as if Americans are taught to support them under threat of not being 'patriotic' enough.
