Isn't it rather extreme nationalism, kinda jingoism? I've never been to the U. S. A., so I have experience only from TV and Internet. Discuss please.

It depends on how you define patriotism really.
Some Americans will say that patriotism in unwavering support for the current leadership.
Some will say it's exercising your right to protest for the good of America.
Too many Americans, in my experience, fall into the former category.

After the 9/11 attack we (as American's) learned pretty quick that we need to stick together (for the most part).
We were terrorized in a way that we never thought possible. Sticking together was the only thing we could do.
Unfortunately it has faded as time has gone by.
To answer your question, yes it is Patriotism.

Patriotism is synonymous with nationalism... so why would patriotism in the USA be different than being patriotic in other countries???

Patriotism exists in every country, but only USA shouts about theirs at every corner! That's their life style, perhaps we ought to learn smth from them! Is it so bad to love your country and express your love publicly ?

no, a lot of us are very patriotic meaning we love our country and are proud that our ancestors fought for our freedom, we love that anybody can succeed here, i mean you can do whatever you want here if you put your mind to it, please don't listen to the TV its not what we are really like,

No nationalism in a pluralistic society. Don't believe what you see in the press.
