The lust for power is stronger than the love for country.

We now see that there is no threshold to what the Republicans are willing to accept in order to keep their seats in the House of Lords.

They preach patriotism. They wave their flags and curse those that would kneel during the national anthem. They pat their hearts as they loudly recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

But, they don't really love this country.

They love the power and what they can steal from the people.

Whatever they are, they are not patriots.
