Candice Keller Explains It All. Really

Since last Saturday morning in El Paso,TX and that night and early Sunday morning in Dayton, OH it hasn't been a good week for the republic. Over 30 human beings are dead and dozens were wounded in two separate acts of wanton mayhem.

Before opening fire at an El Paso Wal Mart, Patrick Crusius left an anti immigrant, "manifesto," on an 8chan message board. Some of his wording mirrored what Donald J. Trump has been saying during his political rallies of late and throughout his brief political career. Young Mr. Crusius was so intent on murder he drove six hundred miles from a Dallas suburb to begin his attack. It was, he said online, to stem, "the Hispanic invasion of the United States."

Thirteen hours later, Connor Betts showed up at a popular Dayton entertainment district. He was wearing body armor and packing a military style assault weapon with a 100 round ammo drum. He was apparently unaware Dayton cops were nearby. Within 30 seconds of Betts' opening up he was dead from police gunfire. He had, in that half minute, murdered nine people and wounded over 20. One of those killed was his sister. It has later been learned, that besides being obsessed by acts of ultra violence, Connor Bett's computer history had links to far left web sites.

The reaction on social media was immediate and visceral. Both sides of the political spectrum accused their evil opposition for the violence with a ferocity not seen since the days just prior to the civil war. The NRA, Mitch McConnell's legislative inaction, and Trump's rhetoric were to blame in Texas. Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and the Antifa clods were at fault in Dayton. The availability of military style arms were the cause some said, while others, including the President, claimed it wasn't the guns, but the crazy people who pulled their triggers.

However, the solution to the conundrum was quick to arrive if you knew where to look. On Sunday, Ohio state representative Candice Keller explained to all of us why these horrors took place. She is in her second term serving Ohio's 53rd house district. It is located SW of Dayton and NW of Cincinnati next to the Indiana line.

According to her, the answer is simple, although extensive. She opened her Facebook post by writing, "After every mass shooting, the liberals start the blame game. Why not place the blame where it belongs."

Then she got into the meat of it, so to speak. "The breakdown of the American family (thank you transgender, homosexual marriage, and drag queen advocates); fatherlessness, a subject no one discusses, or believes is relevant; the ignoring of violent video games; the relaxing of laws against criminals (open borders); the acceptance of recreational marijuana; failed school policies (hello parents who defend their misbehaving students)"

But wait, as they say on TV ads, there is more. She continued with, "...disrespect to law enforcement (thank you Obama); hatred of our veterans (thank you, professional athletes who hate our flag and National Anthem); the Dem Congress, many members of whom are openly anti-Semitic; the culture which totally ignores the importance of God and the church (until they elect a President); state office holders who have no interest in learning about our Constitution and the Second Amendment; and snowflakes who can't accept a duly-elected President."

She finished with, "Did I forget anybody? The list is so long. And the fury will continue."

In the past, she has compared Planned Parenthood to the Nazis and appeared on a radio show hosted by a White Power advocate. At a rally, after the Parkland, Florida school massacre, she told supporters, "A month ago we weren't having this conversation and all of a sudden a 15 year old on television who would just as soon be eating Doritos and playing video games wants to tell me that my Constitution needs to be changed. Really?"

Some local republicans have condemned her ghastly bullshit and at least one has demanded she resign. She refuses to do so.

In Candice Keller's first Ohio legislative race she won 61% of the vote in her heavily republican district. Two years later the total was 65%. Encouraged by all this electoral success she is now running for a vacant Ohio state senate seat.

To hell with the so called, "red flag," legislation designed to stop certifiable lunatics from getting guns. Just ban the fucking weapons out right, then pass a law preventing them from holding public office.

Yes, as Ms. Keller said in a different context, really.
