The Party of Lincoln

From Raw Story, human trafficking still taking place in subcontractor companies doing business with U.S. military contractors despite a 2002 Presidential order to end such practices. Congress has passed bans recently, but the White House is slow to enforce the rule. The Party of Lincoln allowing human trafficking within companies they indirectly pay American dollars? What was this Iraq War all about again? Seems like this week, the PRIMARY reason for the war is to promote democracy and human rights. Yet another sterling example of American "democratic" and "human rights" concerns: Abu Ghraib, slave-trading pmc's. Who'd have thought the South would become majority Republican 100 years ago? Times, they are a-changin'.

Insane, isn't it? I came across this one a couple of days ago...could hardly believe what I was reading. Just proves some people place profit and the allmighty dollar above anything else -- some manage to use their political ideology as a form of aplogetics for any wrongdoing. Can you say "Nixon?"
