"I was gate-raped by my Government" - from Shannyn Moore
Advertisements [?]
Shannyn has apparently talked the Anchorage Daily News into publishing a column from her each Sunday (to counterbalance the vile Paul Jenkins probably).

Here is her piece from this morning: http://www.adn.com/2011/04/16/1813827/i-was-gate-raped-by-my-government.html



We're Alaskans. We fly.

I don't like it, but with 80 percent of our communities off the road system, flying is a necessary part of our lives.

Last month, Rep. Sharon Cissna, a survivor of both physical abuse and breast cancer, refused an invasive TSA pat-down at SeaTac. Instead of flying, she returned to Juneau by ferry. I reported her story on my radio show with a lump in my throat. She's an Alaska hero.

I am not.

I recently returned from Washington, D.C., where I'd celebrated Bristol Bay salmon, met Erin Brockovich, attended a reception with Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, bore witness to the blooming cherry blossoms and visited family.

On departure day, I got to Reagan International early and made my way through security.

Nudie Scanners.

It's nice to see that most of the comments are positive and supportive depsite the fact that Shannyn is a known "leftie" in our community. :patriot:
