Warmed Over Death on a Cracker. Seriously. A Cracker.
Okay, it’s Arkansas again. The state who has declared war on Texas for the title of Holy Crap It’s Crazzzy Here.
I need to be honest with you before I start to tell you this story and admit that in raising three boys, I often told them that the only thing that kept me from killing them from time to time was the nasty headlines.
Charlie Fuqua, an Arkansas Republican candidate for the state house, doesn’t mind nasty headlines. At all.
He wrote a book.
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:
When my boys were little a wise friend once told me, “It’s okay to want to whack your kid upside the head. It’s not okay to actually do it.”
Charlie. For the love of all that spins on the realm of sanity, give it a break. Back away from the edge, Charlie.
On his campaign blog, Fuqua highlights his service on the Children and Families Committee while a member of the Arkansas Legislature in 1997. He also describes liberals and Muslims as the “anti-Christ” and says he believes they are conspiring to create a “bloody revolution.”
Back away, Charlie.
Oh hell, jump. The gene pool will thank you.
Thanks to Barbara and Norma for the heads up.
We would all be better off if his father had followed his advice.
1I guess the Commandment “Thou shalt not kill” just doesn’t to Fuqua – except, of course, if you’re talking about the pre-born as opposed to those nasty rug rats. This man is insane, probably possessed and should be subjected to a good exorcism.
2Just a short lesson in Texas vs Arkansas. My Pop had to take a position in Camden, Ark. in 1967.
3Mom took my three little sisters to Texarkana everyday just to be away from dumb.
The wife of the owner of the pulp mill asked my mom, “Why don’t you like Arkansas?”, Mom said, “When people were looking for the fortune West, somebody nailed a sign on a tree with an arrow pointing west, “TEXAS”, those could read kept going.”
Wait a minute. I thought the New Testament did away with all those pesky Jewish laws. Charlie, go fuqua yourself.
4Great to know that there are still people citing religious reasons for child abuse.
And a Georgia Republican on the House Science committee, running unopposed so we’re stuck with him, says that evolution and the big-bang theory are “lies from the pit of hell.”

If I have to put up with climate change and rainforest destruction and people driving while texting, I damn well want the good parts of the 21st century too, not the 10th.
5Sorry I let a bad word slip in there. I get fed up with these morons.
6Some few years ago our daughter emailed us as to how to deal with her about-to-be-teen son. She knew we had raised one, her brother, with reasonable success. Our reply to her was, “Try very hard not to kill him. He will grow out of it.”
7why do all the religious morons act as if we live under the Old Testament and the New Testament has never happened. As a liberal and a Christian, I live under grace and not law. It is stated several times in the New Testment, but maybe the morans got so excited about all the mayhem and violence they never bothered to go on. Oh, what would we do without the Christian Taliban?
8I thought that was called “honor killings” and were a part of Sharia law? which these guys want to avoid.
9That being the case he should be quite a defender of all the child killings by parents going on these days, no?
Are ‘the voices’ telling him this or is it Sam the dog?
10Isn’t Dueteronomy the one that King James left out of his Bible? I thought even the Baptists didn’t read that one.
11I am just so desperately tired of the religious nutjobs. I have good friends who are Christian (the real Christ-like kind) friends who are Jewish, Buddhist, Ba’Hai…
They are all about loving thy neighbor as thyself.
The people who wrap themselves in religion to cover the fact that they are basically mean, spiteful, controlling, greedy, and racist should just SHUT THE HELL UP before I go all ballistic on them…
And their churches should pay taxes the very second they cross that line of preaching politics from the pulpit.
I remember when being an idiot and a jerk used to be a bad thing. Something horrendous is happening in this country.
12Do you suppose this is the result of his having to go through grade and high school with the last name “Fuqua?”
13We have 3 wonderful children, 2 years apart in age.
When we were traveling they would sometimes get loud.
My husband and I would look at each other and say duct tape! Just the images of the little darling with a strip of duck tape over their mouths made it more bearable.
That said. What will be next? Will they bring back witch hunts?
14That’s in the bible too. These people are scary nuts and need to be stopped.
After living in Europe for many years and now NC, I swear I have gone back to the middle ages!
15Does he have kids? Anybody checked on their well-being lately?
16He’s scary.
17My former mother in law expounded on her theory of raising boys. ‘Put them in a barrel and feed them through the bung hole. When they are 18 drive in the bung’.
Then wife, who was quite pregnant, asked ‘What if I have a girl’.
Her mother: ‘Use a pink bung.’
18Hey, fookie! There is even a place in the old testament about killing your mother in law. I’m not going to tell you! Heck, that would be pandering to someone who feels entitled to be told. You are just going to have to find it yourself, if your mother in law doesn’t get there first.
19@Rhea It’s OK, we occasionally have to use the Repu****** word every so often.
20This is the REAL zero population growth method. Kill all the kids, no more adults in a few years.
21@Susan Yardley, I think he’s beyond exorcism, so let’s just have us an EXECUTION and send him to Satan directly: the father of hell obviously bought this ones soul! On the free market! (and whatever he paid, it was too much!!)
22And @Warner, your MIL is one well read lady! That was a Robert A Heinlien-ism. The one my husband likes is his theory that if you are gonna pack heat you should not have to conceal it, and if people got shot dead for being rude inconsiderate SOBs, well, society would get mighty polite and courteous again! Quickly! 🙂
