The petition site master is a whiner. Why? The blurb “t is truly sad that political discourse in our country has come to this.”

No sense of political history in America. We are rarely murderous for politics and power — especially considered in history, but we have always had a political vanguard of the violent.

For instance — the movie famous Dead Rabbits gang of New York City in the mid 1800’s were paid thug enforcers for the politicians of Tammany Hall. See http://www.yamaguchy.netfirms.com/7897401/myers/tammany/tammany_21.html

So if people with foreclosed homes decided to sell themselvces into servitude, it wouldn't be appropriate to say that it "is truly sad that our country has come to this..." just because it's not unique to the present?

Very liberal use of terminology there, to call "whiner" on that.
