Because there is a school of thought that says kids are evil and couldn't be motivated to do the right thing without the fear of pain. I think there is probably a better way, but I am not going to tell people to raise their kids unless they are causing more harm than spanking. And flogging is a really dumb idea. Enyart must be off his nut. Its cruel and unusual punishment, and leaves scars.

Don't confuse the facts here,O'Reilly is not a fundamentalist convervative like Enyart, but he is considered by most an economic and political conservative. Just because he and Enyart but heads over spanking and flogging doesn't make O'Reilly any less conservative. That said, he is still wrong on many other issues I've heard him speak about, but granted I still like a lot of the things he has to say!
And locking human beings up like animals is NOT cruel and unusual punishment? A flogging only takes a minute and then the criminal goes home where his wife is not deprived of her husband, where his kids are not deprived of their father, where he is (hopefully) gainfully employed, etc.
You would rather have him be sodomized in prison for 6 months? You're kidding, right?
obviously, spankings is a legitimate parenting practice. I don't think its the best one in all(or most) case, but its fair and I am not going to tell people they shouldn't do it, especially since I don't have kids. You must see the difference between spanking and flogging, jefferson

Difference Between Spanking and Flogging
Enyart's reference to "flogging" was, I think, referring to punishment for adults, not children I think (see Jefferson's discourse on the top). Adults are older and tougher so need to be brought down a peg more severely (assuming they can physically take the punishment). Even in Singapore, there are age limits to who is caned (under age 50).

I received the second on a pretty regular basis, Jefferson, and I think I turned out reasonably well...
It instilled in me the notion that it is unnecessary to raise one's hand to a fellow human being...
...except to cause permanent damage...
It is also the primary reason I do not and will not have children.

Ok my bad for trying to show what kind of an evil man he is by asking such a dumb question. On huge issues such as abortion, gay rights and the death penalty he unfortunately agrees with liberals.

But the problem with so many "Enyart-ites" is how can you misguided seemingly hateful souls (some, not all) who post here think that if someone is 80% conservative and 20% liberal (or whatever percentage that Shadowgov deems unacceptable), explain how that makes them liberal?
I'm pro-spank by the way (I got the belt, the paddle, the hand, the spatula, etc...) but I'm thinking many on the "right" here would want parents to have some sort of carte blanche when it comes to a degree of "discipline".
Hey folks; how about a moratorium on this "left"/"right", "liberal"/"conservative" lingo and just discuss the issues and doctrines. I'm sure this will fall on deaf ears.

I think 4 AM was saying that many posters here think it impossible to basically be a somewhat conservative Christian yet still hold to a few liberal beliefs, that many Enyart-ites think you a liberal if you are 80% conservative and 20% liberal.
