According to Mikey Weinstein, <!--more-->head of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, it espouses the idea of \u201cthe shepherding movement for female cadets. [The women] must be shepherded by males, even lower-ranking males. They are told that their value is that they have eggs. They are asked, \u2018What are you doing here?

The Catholic Church, with its lineup of sexual-predator priests, has the same view. How many priests have been jailed?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, does she think Catholics should be banned from the military as well?<\/p>\n<p>In the end, Quinn has taken on the mantle of Weinstein: religious beliefs only qualify for the human liberty of religious freedom <em>if she agrees with them<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Should you desire religious liberty, you can submit your religious beliefs for her review care of the MRFF.<\/p>\n<p class=\"smallfont\">Also <a href=\"http:\/\/newsbusters.org\/blogs\/tim-graham\/2013\/05\/19\/washpost-faith-editor-sally-quinn-blames-female-hating-christians-milita\">at Tim Graham<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-like\" data-share=\"true\" data-show-faces=\"true\" data-size=\"small\" data-action=\"like\" data-layout=\"standard\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><strong>ADVERTISEMENT<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><!-- blogpost --><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-ad-slot=\"2728423835\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6450825356098669\"><\/ins><script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As previously noted, Sally Quinn of the Washington Post has become the latest version of Pam Zubeck, the CSIndy &#8220;journalist&#8221; who is actually an\u00a0advocate of Michael Weinstein&#8217;s cause.\u00a0 While it has become obvious Quinn is in the tank with Weinstein, it wasn&#8217;t clear until this weekend just how far she was willing to go.
