The Left is just as patriotic as the Right, in fact more so, since theirs is a ~true~ patriotism, not just an ignorant parroting of xenophobic sentiments. If you disagree with this statement, you are Hitler.
Here are a few links in which leftists conflate patriotism with racism, assert that the two are corrolaries, or otherwise imply that patriotism is, in itself, a bad thing:
The Myth Of Misandry (In which I am informed that the people who call me names, blame me for everything, exclude me from their reindeer games, and keep trying to castrate me, actually have nothing against me in particular.)
Oy, sod off, bloody wanker! (This one’s from England, and I’m trying to have some fun with that. Sue me.)
Anarchists who apparently HAVE heard of Kropotkin (In high school I called myself an anarchist, because I believed in Reganomics, which I thought would eventually cause the state to wither away. This article is clearly written by and for left-wing anarchists though.)
Breeding Terror (BTW, anti-capitalism has nothing to do with Communism or Socialism, you ignorant cracker! OK, NOW I’m finished with the sarcasm.)
Is Society Sane? (A rambling, 70s-style piece by a guy who is very right about some things.)
I did a google search for "patriotism=racism", which I believe I once saw written on some hippy’s forehead or something. I only spent a few minutes picking these from the results.
