In my opinion, any true Patriot must be a Nationalist, and the rest is just crap.

That's debatable.
I know many patriots, who truly loves their Nation and does not want it to disappear, but are being misleaded by so-called "conservative" parties and men like Sarkozy, Berlusconi, Aznar, ... who play the patriotic card and tell them what they want to hear but don't do it. They actually make up a very large part of the population - and probably most of the traditional conservative electorate. That's precisely our task to educate them about politics and nationalism. Any patriot is a potential nationalist.
