You mean since the end of World War II, right?
Or was it World War I (The war to end all wars)? I'm not sure since they weren't that far apart.
The current state of politics (and life in the United States in general) has warped the meaning of Patriotic to blindly supporting the (conservative) government. If you aren't wearing a flag pin, driving a SUV, going to church, and fucking your wife then you aren't a patriot. Furthermore, if you aren't supporting the war on drugs, terrorism, poverty, and titties then you aren't a patriot. You also aren't a patriot if you don't vote republican.
Believing in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution has nothing to do with being a patriot.
