There's nothing wrong with a little bit of patriotism

I am a patriot, a European patriot.

I'm very proud of what Europe have accomplished after WWII.
I'm proud of Europes diversity.
I'm proud of Europes ambitions.
I'm proud of the peoples fight against tyrants at home and abroad.
I'm proud of Europes integration.
I'm proud of Europes influence and reputation in the world.
I'm proud over our charter of fundamental rights.

I'm proud over our common foundation that we are building our house on.
I'm proud of the future we are creating for our children.

There's nothing wrong with a little bit of patriotism, for as long as it doesn't blind you.
