Republican Candidate In Arkansas Says Parents Should Seek Death Penalty Against ‘Rebellious Children’

Here's a little something we should all read.  Folks like him are all over the country, it's just that folks in nice liberal enclaves don't take them seriously.  I lived in NYC and Long Island for many years, my partner in both L.A and San Francisco.  I know we all minimized the thought of any danger to the USA from Rabid-Right-Wing-Religious-Extremist-KKKonservatives. 

It's out there.  They have more followers and power than you think.  They are also pandered to by an awful lot of Republican "leaders".  These people are dangerous, and their extreme positions seem to be bolstered by The Bible. 

Have some balls  --  oppose them and their take on Religion, their stand on equal rights, and their anti-gay, anti-human, anti-diversity, bigotry.

A candidate for the Arkansas legislature, Charlie Fuqua, says children who don’t demonstrate “respect for parents” should be put to death, the Arkansas Times reports. Fuqua is a former member of the Arkansas legislature and has received support from the Arkansas Republican Party and two sitting members of Congress.
Here’s the key passage from Fuqua’s 2012 book, “God’s Law: The Only Political Solution“:

The maintenance of civil order in society rests on the foundation of family discipline. 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 rebellious 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:

Fuqua helpfully notes that “This passage does not give parents blanket authority to kill their children.” Rather, parents would have to “follow the proper procedure in order to have the death penalty executed against their children.” Fuqua assures the reader that, in his view, the procedure would “rarely be used.” The threat of death would, however, “be a tremendous incentive for children to give proper respect to their parents.’
Fuqua, reached by the Huffington Post on the issue, declined to comment.
Fuqua’s book previously came under scrutiny for advocating expelling all Muslims from the United States. In response, Fuqua said he believe his view on Mulims were “fairly well-accepted by most people.”
