Not at all, patriotism is the love and devotion to and pride in one's country. Patriotism encourages people to do what is for the good of their fellow citizens, not just their own personal good. It makes people submit to reasonable taxation depending on their ability to pay for the good of the country as a whole, rather than oppose taxes so they can get rich. But patriotism can become a bad thing when it goes beyond being the love of your own country and becomes hate of or even marginalization of other people's countries. For example, many Americans equate patriotism with love of the USA, thus marginalizing the love people from other countries feel for their countries. Mahmoud Ahmedinejad loves Iran, and that makes him a patriot too.
