Is it as bad as it looks?

I just watched another rage filled Keith Olbermann "Special Comment" on Bush.

I share this rage. I realy hope this is above the level of political hackery, but I think we are in a lot of trouble here, and it's not from the terrorists.

The Bush machine has done something that the terrorists could never do. It has changed the way we apply our constitution. Namely, selectively.

Bush has created two classes of humans: Terrorists and Americans.

Americans have rights.

Terrorists have limited rights to habeus corpus. Police (in the broadest sense) don't have to get warrants. Torture is now on the table. And what's more, the man at the top defines who is in what camp.

We are a nation that is defined by a set of ideas. We are the constitution. That's all we have. If we sacrifice this we have nothing.

This is not just dislike for a man's policies. This is about being deeply offended by what he is doing to what I love.

I don't want to be overly alarmist, but this is serious. Freedoms sacrificed are hard to get back. Isn't this serious? Isn't this a real threat to our nation? On the bright side, if the "terrorists" hate us because of our freedom, maybe they will soon hate us less.
