http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/10/08/arkansas-republican-endorses-death-penalty-for-children/
A man running as a Republican for State Representative in Arkansas published a book in which he endorses the death penalty for rebellious children and much, much more.
In his book Gods Law: The Only Political Solution, published in April, former Arkansas Department of Human Services attorney Charlie Fuqua explains that he supports killing wayward kids because thats what a Bronze Age tribe did in his favorite religious text.
The maintenance of civil order in society rests on the foundation of family discipline, he wrote, according to an excerpt published by The Arkansas Times. Therefore, a child who disrespects his parents must be permanently removed from society in a way that gives an example to all other children of the importance of respect for parents. The death penalty for rebellioius children is not something to be taken lightly. The guidelines for administering the death penalty to rebellious children are given in Deut 21:18-21.
He goes on to write: Even though this procedure would rarely be used, if it were the law of land, it would give parents authority. Children would know that their parents had authority and it would be a tremendous incentive for children to give proper respect to their parents.
Fuquas run is being bankrolled by established Republicans in the state, including the party itself and the House Republican Leadership PAC.
In his book, Fuquoa also expresses his opposition to paying minimum wage, funding public education and what he calls the Muslim problem, which he believes could be dealt with by expelling all the Muslims from America. He adds that prisoners who cannot be rehabilitated within two years should just be executed to save money.
And in a diatribe published to his campaign website, Fuqua explains that liberals and Muslims have formed a strange alliance around their links to the antichrist, because, as he explains, they both deny that Jesus is God in the flesh of man, and the savior of mankind. They both also hold that their cause should take over the entire world through violent, bloody, revolution. Both want to end freedom of speech so that their doctrine cannot be criticized. Neither can survive in a free marketplace of ideas.
Hes running against incumbent State Rep. James McLean (D), a conservative Democrat with an A- rating from the National Rifle Association.

republican parents. So it's all good.

Last I heard they don't believe that Jesus was the Messiah, much less the son of God, or even God himself!
That's right...Xtians like Fuqua need the Jews in order for the Second Coming to happen...they actually need the majority of them to die, in accordance to some Xtian interpretation of the scriptures!
So it wouldn't be a good thing to offend the fodder that these whack job, mental midgets, need in order for their version of the end of the world as we know it to take place!!!
It's Xtians like this that I would pay to see running around, being chased by hungry jungle cats!
