North by (okay, to) Northwest

Gary North wrote a good speech for Sarah Palin. Three key paragraphs:

You have heard the old saying, "Support your local sheriff." The sheriff is the armed law enforcement agent of the county government. You had better get control [of] the government that hires the local sheriff. Then support him.

I am going to be on the road. I will do my Fox News show, but I will be appearing all over the country on a regular basis. I will not be running for anything. I will be training people to run for everything: school boards, county commissions, everything.

When the officers of the Federal government come to town to tell folks what to do, they will be greeted by citizens who know their rights and who are willing to sue the Federal government for any violation of any of the ten amendments. My favorite is the second amendment, but they are all great . . . and they are all being violated by Washington.

The only point North doesn't make while ghosting for Sarah is that when the feds don't violate rights per se, they often violate standards (of decency, for example) instead, while justifying their behavior in creepy or tone-deaf ways, (Bookworm has one example, Neo has another).
