I think so. Here is what one Christian Reconstructionalist
posted to this very list some time ago:

"Yeah, I'm a CR. And I do believe that if a person is
caught in adultery, they should be stoned. Active,
practicing homosexuals should be stoned. And non-
Christians should be evangelized to, but not allowed to
practice their faith openly. If they did practice their non-
Christian faith openly, they should be punished by
execution for worshiping false gods."
"As far as the heretics go, I want the civil
government to have the power and the will to execute
heretics and blasphemers. It's what God's law calls for -
and it's the only viable model for civil government."
"I do not advocate beating homosexuals. I advocate
stoning "practicing" homosexuals. There is a difference.
The prior is a violation of God's Law. The latter is a
faithful application of God's Law. Witches should also
be put to death, as you have said correctly."

That's theocracy for you,
