Florida: At Least We're Not Arkansas

While we have our share of wacky conservatives and Tea Party loons here in the Sunshine State, we can't compare to Arkansas.

There's Jon Hubbard...

JONESBORO, AR (KAIT) - A book written by an Arkansas Representative has many people outraged. The book by Republican Representative Jon Hubbard, released in 2009, calls slavery a "blessing in disguise."

[...]

In his book, Hubbard says "...the institution of slavery that the black race has long believed to be an abomination upon its people may actually have been a blessing in disguise. The blacks who could endure those conditions and circumstances would someday be rewarded with citizenship in the greatest nation ever established on the face of the Earth."

And then there's Loy Mauch...

But there are Republicans and there is Republican Loy Mauch, elected to represent House District 26 near Hot Springs. A former head of the Sons of the Confederate Veterans post in Hot Springs, Mauch calls the Confederate flag "a symbol of Jesus Christ," and is a current member of The League of the South, a group which works toward the formation of an independent Southern nation.

[...]

For his part, Loy Mauch said that he is a small-government Republican, who went door to door and listened to the concerns of his district. "The number one issue in our district was jobs — jobs in the private sector, of course," Mauch said. "I guess if we want to have jobs, we've got to have a business-friendly environment. You do that by cutting government red tape, regulation and cutting taxes." While Mauch said he isn't as active in the Tea Party as he once was, he's very sympathetic to their goals, saying they've "got it right" about limited government.

And finally, we have Charlie Fuqua who is running for a seat in the Arkansas House...

Fuqua, who served in the Arkansas House from 1996 to 1998, wrote there is “no solution to the Muslim problem short of expelling all followers of the religion from the United States,” in his 2012 book, titled “God’s Law.”

Fuqua said Saturday that he hadn’t realized he’d become a target within his own party, which he said surprised him.

“I think my views are fairly well-accepted by most people,” Fuqua said before hanging up, saying he was busy knocking on voters’ doors. The attorney is running against incumbent Democratic Rep. James McLean in House District 63.

Here's another photo of Charlie taken from his website. That's him on the far right.

 

There is a strange alliance between the liberal left and the Muslim religion. It may be that since both are the enemies of Christianity, that they both believe that, my enemy's enemy is my friend. However there are several similarities between the two. Both are antichrist in that 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. They both lack an understanding of the true nature of God. That is, that God wants us to freely choose to love, warship, and serve him because we understand that he loved us while we were in the unlovable state of complete rebellion to him. God does not want to force himself on anyone. Love for him must be a free choice. Both Communism and the Muslim religion want to deny man that choice. 

The irony of a Christian man advocating freedom of speech, freedom of ideas,  and a freedom to "love and worship," or "warship" as Charlie says, while, in the same paragraph, demanding the expulsion of everyone of a particular religion can never be realized by any Republican or person of any sensibility.

But, hey, at least Charlie and his fellow conservatives aren't in Florida.

Yet.
