Prepare ye the way:

Over and over the set-up gets confirmed - as if George Bush was burning the Constitution in a public ritual of disavowal that leads in a directly linear progression to his own rise to emperor of the world.
It's very frustrating to keep encountering this.
The next level up, or in, would be that he's doing it for the Republican party. That he'll step out of the light in 2008 and his successor will take over, with the path ahead cleared of such obstacles as due process and free speech.
Which is accurate in form, but not in its particulars.
It seems obvious that none of that Democrat v. Republican sports-analog matters, not at a national level - locally yes, crucially, but nationally...
It seems obvious that anything powerful and amoral enough to direct Bush's actions in this way must exist entirely above and beyond partisan politics. Able to use Hillary Clinton as readily as it's used George Bush, and to the same non-partisan end.
It must be obvious now even to those who don't want to see it that whatever this is, it doesn't have the slightest loyalty to the American experiment, doesn't care about idealistic notions like liberty and democracy, and doesn't care at all about the preservation of those ideals, in fact sees them as dangerous threats.
It should be clearer daily that the fearful rhetoric saturating the airwaves is projection, self-description thrown out and away from the thing that's destroying America.
"...a totalitarian ideology that hates freedom".
Exactly.
