Seems to me that she used the wrong word.

What she appears to be lambasting is [link|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jingoism|jingoism], not [link|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriotism|patriotism]. In my view, she, and anybody else that states that the Emperor has no clothes is no more, nor no less patriotic than Der Berk himself (and is likely more so, in the truest sense of the word).

It's just unfortunate that her vocabulary is a bit unpolished.
