...first people to receive Peninsula's scorn are all those who are non-heterosexual. The Bisexual, Gay and Lesbian Student Association (BGLSA) and its sometimes political arm, the Strategic Offense Society, are deemed evil because they are "manifestly opposed to traditional Christian values," not to mention "their never-ending quest for special privileges...such as office space." Christian values according to whom? And where in the Christian Bible is hatred considered laudatory? Isn't the Golden Rule to "love thy neighbor?" It seems that Peninsula's world view, like that of the Catholic Church during the Spanish Inquisition, comprehends legitimacy...
...surely at the heart of Peninsula's insecurity. But I think that is there is a deeper question of (hypocritical) religious "sincerity" which Peninsula raises.

When the Christian Coalition supports the party and the candidate and strenuously advocates the safeguarding of "values," one may be justifiably disgusted at the whole political process.

...human being, he was a man of his time," Kilpatrick says. "Europeans were very caught up in the ideology of domination. I would say that Christopher Columbus and the European explorers are perpetrators of genocide, people who had an attitude of white supremacy and Christian supremacy and who had a mentality that it was alright to dominate and kill and take from people who were different...
