Arkansas State GOP Candidate Supports Death Penalty For Bad Kids
There is no law but God’s law- that’s a line you hear conservatives use quite often. But to adopt such a notion is to live in a theocracy, not a 
democracy, and the Founders have already made that choice. What is striking about these right wing zealots though is how often their Christian law ends in the murder of other human beings.
Just last week Kulture Kritic reported on a Romney campaign worker who supported executions for welfare parents. Now a GOP legislative candidate in Arkansas, Charlie Fuqua, has written a book in which he says “rebellious children” should be executed. The book, aptly named “God’s Law”, reads as follows:
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..
While we’re at it, why don’t we start murdering those who commit adultery? Isn’t that in the Bible too? And if this is the case, why should man’s laws mean anything? Doesn’t this line of thinking allow for God fearing Christians to follow the Bible and ignore man’s law? Once you start down this rabbit hole, you begin to realize just how dangerous Charlie Fuqua and his ilk are. They, like the Taliban, seek to replace man’s law with God’s law.
Even sadder is that Mr. Fuqua is under the delusion that others share his view of Christianity.
“I think my views are fairly well-accepted by most people,” Fuqua said to AP.

WOW – I live in Arkansas
What is going on first one (Hubbard) thinks slavery was great and wonderful? Now another wants to execute “bad” kids.
It is stinky butts like these that give our state a bad name.
executing children for the sake of limiting time wasting is a bold approach. a neighbor may need order in the hood to continue to distribute dope in the black communities making folks pleading insanity. dont run for s**t. your kid can drop dead by the hands of a not dependent kid. its a f****d up joke.
I am a devout Christian, yet I do believe in a thing called GRACE!
He is just another member of the White Alquida. White Christians that were down with “burning crosses”, the sacred holy symbol of Christianity. Where is Joel Olsteen and Rick Warren now? Those “pastor bastards” are just like him and u Negroids that watch those misfits are just as bad as them. The Crusades all over again. But according to his-story, except for Crusade #1, the Muslims whipped that azz and eventually conquered Constantinople, the home of Christendom at the time. Now it rest with the Vatican, and you see the mess going on there. Ptah RA
These people have officially LOST their minds!
What is alarming and painfully amusing is how those who speak of moral values and this psuedo-puritanical dream of America are so choosy as to which actions support or oppose this utopia that never was. I have grown to realize that radicalism in America is not a bad option. For, it appears that we are dealing with complete, soul-less, baseless idiots who say the most absurd things with a smile. Furthermore, let’s be really clear– White, privileged children whose parents are Conservatives can also become unruly. What is the definition with which we side. Also, CORPORATE TAX BREAKS, BLACK WALL STREET MASSACRES AND THE EVOLVING FACE OF JIM CROW PRACTICES AND BLACK CODES ARE THE TRUE WELFARE SYSTEM!
This is hate that never goes away. Mother’s train their children in hate from toddler stage, I saw this first hand babysitting in white homes not that many years ago. When I sat in African-American homes during the summer during school break the moms never discussed race (maybe they should). When I sat in white homes, white mothers preach whiteness. Some comments I heard them make to their children (when you get a puppy, you want to get a white puppy), (black puppies are mean), when you get a girlfriend, you want one with blonde hair, (black eyes are ugly), etc. Little subtle things like this teaches racism. Then you end up with a bigot like this guy and you wonder why. I saw it first hand, the white parents paid me well, smiled in my face, but they teach their kids racism. I can’t speak for ALL and obviously it is not ALL, but it is enough of them.
Ugh!!! He needs to be executed !!! Publicly at that! Or televised would be better.
Our kids may be killing each other at an alarming rate due to drugs but here in the hillybilly, redneck, no education state of KY, the Whites are killing and beating their parents to death due to drugs, so I guess that means we need to start executions for White folks right along with the Black kids, It is truly amazing what the White man does all in the name of the Bible, but does not our Father warn us of “the wolf in sheeps clothing.” Yes I think he does. As for the Welfare deal, there are more of them on welfare than there are Black folks.
The laws for youngsters today are far to laxed,a kid can do almost anything they want against their parents and practically no punishment is given to them by the parent because the laws protect them, and they know it. Child abuse laws give a youngster enough room to have his way. I,am not saying parents should be able to abuse their kids but strict punishment without fear of going to jail for child abuse should be in the parents favor. Something real serious should be met with strict punishment, this has nothing to do with race, a bad kid is a bad kid period.
THE LAWS THAT PROTECT YOUNGSTERS GIVE THEM JUST ENOUGH OF ROPE TO CREATE A PRISON BED FOR THEMSELVES.THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF DISCIPLINE IS TO
CORRECT,WE YOU CANT CORRECT IT,WHO DO YOU THINK THAT IS GOING TO CORRECT IT ?,YELP,THE PRISON SYSTEM.
I DONT SEE HOW PARENTS ALLOWED THESE LAWS TO FLY OVER THEIR HEAD.
You Racist Pieces Of Trash Want To Do Everything You Can To Destroy The African American Race. President Obama Better Get Re-elected Or You Racist Pieces Of Trash Is Going To Be Leaving This World In Many Different Ways.
They never wanted a Black man running in any type of government office as far as that matter.
There is no way that this ‘not really a man’ commented to kill children – this is scary! Charlie Fuqua is a jerk for what he is saying and writing.
This law can persuade temeka, rae rae, and shabooki from moveing to arkansaw.code word meaning blacks,latino keep
your bad kids out my state or i will exucute them.
THESE NARROW MINDED BIGOTS DONT REALIZE THAT THEY ARE
TRYING TO INCITE A RACE WAR,AND THEY ARE GOING TO LOOSE.
THE PROBLEM IS STATE LEGISLATORS HAVE NOT PASSED A LAW
TO STOP THESE OLD HEADS FROM SPENDING SO MUCH TIME IN
THEIR POLITICAL SEATS,THESE OLD HEADS COME FROM
ANOTHER TIME IN HISTORY,SO THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE LAWS
THAT SET OTHER RACES BACK. WE NEED YOUNGER PEOPLE ON
THE BOARDS THAT WAS NOT BORN TO FAR BACK,AND HAD SOME
TYPE OF DIVERSITY IN THEIR BACKGROUND THAT WAS POSITIVE
WITHOUT THIS,YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE AN OLD HEAD PLAYING
OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING BACK THEN,AND NOT WHAT
HAPPENING NOW.
I’m a 60 year old Black American who was raised in NC. During those time while I was a young teenager I never thought about or heard such messages today than I hear today. Before that they RACIST WHITES go into secrecy and discuss how to undermind us
more without us even knowing it. Today, they just come out in the opening and say it thinking that none of us Black Folk want get a hand on it. Friends! Racism is still here with us. Since we’ve gotten our first Black American President, the skeletons are coming out of the closets which show true meanings of what the past was about.
They are Cold Blooded Murderers and Natural Born Killers…Sociopathic.
Well everyone…if you don’t want these things to happen you had better get out and exercise your voting privilege or we could all be going back to the Jim Crow politics. The only way we can make sure these racist people don’t rule the country is to get out and VOTE….VOTE….VOTE!
We’ve been voting since 1965, and ain’t NOTHING changed for Black people! As a matter of Truth, it’s getting worse for Black people, especially Black men and boys.
It’s time to stop singing and start swinging! Even fire fighters sometimes have to fight fire with fire!!!!
WAKE UP FOLKS; THESE demon/devils HATE US WITH A PASSION, BUT YET Y’ALL CONTINUE TO VOTE FOR A CRACKER, WHO Y’ALL THINK IS A ‘GOOD honkey’
Where are the good pigs when they’re with one of their klanner buddies, who shoot down Black men, who don’t have weapons?
No such thing as a good pig, unless he’s on a grill.
A KKK member distorting the bible while trying to disguise blatant racism! The new testament does not support such extreme radicalism!
Charlie Fuqua, kulture Kritic are two White THUGS trying to sell books useing Christianity to sell their books. Whites have always use “I’M A CHRISTIAN” and i can do what ever it takes to get what i want, kill, steal, lie, and rape. Blacks have fought and praying every step of the way but their effort was of little, the fight is not over. Death penalty, do you really think blacks will sit back and allow this to happen to our young children? when we have young white kids killing their parents. we just had a 15yr old white kid killed his mom and sister here in Dallas, Texas he is in jail, I don’t believe he will get the death penalty by no means.
What is it with these Ark. legislators? Clinton came from Ark. and he wasn’t that bad. Or is it just the GOP and the Republicans taking off their white robes.
A few Republican leaders in my home state continue to bring shame to the state and provide opinions that lack forethought and common sense. When I teach early childhood classes, I tell my students that children are not bad, people are not bad; it is behavior that is bad, and behavior can be modified through guidance and discipline, spirituality and in some situations, medication. Additionally, since this Republican wants to invoke God’s law in the Old Testament to justify his offensive belief, let’s look at the New Testament which tells us that once the Holy Spirit enters our life, we become changed creatures that walk in the light. Yes, spirituality can change bad behavior. It appears that this politician twists the Word of God to say what he wants to spew from his heart. When children act out in the classroom, what are teachers to do? Do they kill them? Some folks think that he uses the word, ‘bad” and “black” to mean the same. What is going on with Republicans in Arkansas? Are they drinking the same bad water?
We just had a young white boy in conservative, northern Pennsylvania kill his grandparents because he didn’t like what they said about his mom (their daughter).
A couple of years ago a 12 year old white boy in western Pennsylvania killed his father’s pregnant girlfriend.
Neither of these kids are going to get the death penalty or life in prison. They’ll be out walking the streets when they are 21.
I’d bet good money on it!
Your’re right! These crackers will not serve jail time because “lil johnny” had problems at home!!!
I’m sick of these racist bastards!!!
I too am sick of these racists. They will do anything to destroy our children and us. They are not able to that their own people are turning against them by the horrible crimes committed against other Europeans.

If you correctly read your King James Bible, it clearly states in Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, that we are under the Grace Administration, we are saved by Grace, and the law is done away with, we as Christians do not live by Moses law, this is where all the confusion of religion and so called Christianity come from……Study to show thyself approved of GOD, a workman needeth not be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING the word of TRUTH! I said RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORK OF TRUTH!

Wasn’t Jesus a Hebrew? maybe if you study and reasearch the word of God, you will see the name of Jesus in Aramaic, Greek and Hebrew, that translate to Jesus, or haysuse in spanish.
The Bible was written in these three languages
