Why would you think that criticism of something is the same as being fundamentally against that thing?
I'd say what you're doing here is "emotional thinking". Try being more rational when thinking.
When you love your country, you actually have the duty to point things out that are wrong. That's the only way problems can be corrected. Otherwise it would mean you're ok with your country decaying.
(Just like with your boy/girlfriend or husband - if you love them, you need to openly talk about the problems.)
