Craziest (Arkansas) Republicans of the Day: Charlie Fuqua and Jon Hubbard

By Mustang Bobby

Here's some handy parenting advice from Charlie Fuqua, a Republican candidate for the Arkansas legislature: if your kid mouths off to you or doesn't clean their room, kill them:

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.

Mr. Fuqua is on record as being in favor of expelling Muslims from America, presumably because he thinks they're too easygoing on their children.

By the way, Mr. Fuqua doesn't have the corner on the loony market in Arkansas. There's a state representative who says that slavery was a "blessing" for African-Americans:

Jon Hubbard, a Republican member of the Arkansas House of Representatives, has written a new book in which he says slavery was "a blessing" for African-Americans, among other questionable statements.

Hubbard, a first term Republican from Jonesboro, Ark., makes a series of racially charged statements in the self-published book, including saying that integration of schools is hurting white students, that African slaves had better lives under slavery than in Africa, that blacks are not contributing to society, and that a situation is developing the United States which is similar to that of Nazi Germany.

Lovely people.
