If you think America sucks and are actively working to make it better(whatever "better" is for you), that is almost exactly my definition of a good citizen. To give you an example you might appreciate, I think the Tea Party is misguided and foolish, however, I think the fact they are working so hard to make the country better as they see it makes them good citizens, even though I disagree with their vision of "better".
I don't think thoughts make you a good citizen, I think it is what you do, the actions you take. So by that, pride in country is entirely irrelevant to how I would define "good citizen".
If someone is working to change the country into something our founding fathers never meant it to be, he is not a good citizen.
