When does nationalism become idolatory?

I hear some people claim that Americans are making the flag into a false idol. In a sense I can see why 0 there is a commandment not to make idols of anything on earth or heaven. The Flag has stars on it. People are asked to swear allegiance to it salute it respect it feel offended if it is burnt etc. So at what point do you see nationalism expressed through the rights associated with and the symbolism of the flag start to turn into idolatory?
