I agree with you on both parts. I love my country. It is far from perfect, but hard to beat.
But can it be taken too far? I'm sure it can. When we start singing to the country as part of our worship of God, then something is surely gone wrong in our priorities in love. I think that within the context of worship, it is best to think of it like what Jesus said about love of money v love of God. It needs to be one or the other. And within worship, it needs to be love for God and no room for love of country.
