This sickening article from the Huffington Post sheds light on the politics of speciesism and how Romney (a dog abuser) cynically chose Paul Ryan for his vice presidential candidate due to his bloodlust for killing animals and the points this would score with conservatives and the NRA. So those in this society who grow up learning it is acceptable and good to kill animals either become serial killers or Representatives and vice-presidential candidates, among two top career options. The quotes from Ted Nugent are as choice as can be and elevate violence and murder to the realm of spirituality and a fine art. Once again, the American people are presented with a stellar cast of talent to chose from as to who will best represent the interests of corporations, the military-industrial complex, the national security state, and the transnational elite.

When GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney announced Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) as his vice presidential pick over the weekend, he wasn’t just injecting a heavy dose of conservative values into his campaign. Ryan, a noted outdoorsman, also brings a genuine respect for hunting to a campaign that has had very few credentials in that area.

Romney, who has struggled with his own record on gun rights in general, famously flopped in his effort to connect with hunters during his 2008 presidential campaign when he claimed that “small varmints” were his quarry of choice. That has helped fuel some awkwardness between the presidential hopeful and the National Rifle Association over the years.

With the addition of Ryan, however, the ticket now has a few trophy bucks to add to its showcase.

The conservative blogosphere was abuzz in the wake of Romney’s Ryan pick with reminders of his “A” rating from the NRA. Jay McAninch, president of the Archery Trade Association, praised Ryan for his well-documented proficiency with a bow. And rocker Ted Nugent, a Romney supporter and vocal advocate for hunting and gun rights, lauded Ryan for his record as a sportsman.

“He’s an addicted bowhunter. He loves the mystical flight of the arrow,” Nugent told Newsmax over the weekend. “I defy you to come up with a person that has a more spiritual relationship with the pulse that drives Paul Ryan’s life than me.”

He continued, claiming that the finely tuned skill needed to wield a bow competently enough to take down a deer would translate over to the executive qualities needed to serve as vice president.

“This kind of discipline is just what America needs in leadership, and I know it appears to be a huge leap from what some consider recreational activities,” Nugent said. “Paul and I could go to the grocery store if we wanted to, but we have chosen this original, primal pursuit of game with a self-limiting weapon. And that says volumes for what drives this man to do the right thing in spite of political correctness.”
