No. Never.
It can be a valid point. It should be allowed. It should never ever be a crime. Its important to have criticism in a democracy. Its critical in facilitating positive change. All that said, its never ever patriotic.
Leftists love to justify their hatred for American culture and capitalism with contradictory claims like "its patriotic to criticize my country when...".
I too criticize my country....often...and when I do, I make no claim to being patriotic. In the end, i simply defer to the famous "its the worst system, except when compared to everyone else, then its the best". That sums it for me, including our culture.
Personally, I would approve a law that allowed the death penalty for any monkey who claimed "bashing America is being American". What a great weeding out tool....certain to thin the herd in just the right way.
