Mr. Kerry,

How many little animals have to die in this futile blood sacrifice to the gun gods? Personally, I don’t want the deaths of all these birds and varmints on my conscience. You’re not a bubba and you’re not going to be no matter how many waterfowl you slay. You look ridiculous in cammo. We gave up sacrificing animals as we emerged from the Iron Age, and I think it’s about time you did too. The bubba gods aren’t listening. The gun gods aren’t listening. They’re not listening because they don’t believe you. They don’t believe you because they know your voting record.

The Second Amendment isn’t about duck hunting, but then, you knew that already, didn’t you?

Between you and me, I would have so much more respect for you if you’d own up to what you are and were. If you were to say, “I was a lefty, peace-nik, anti-Vietnam War protester. I said some things that I shouldn’t have, things I believed to be true at the time that turned out to be wrong, and I’m sorry,” I would take you seriously. But this phony-baloney Rambo thing just isn’t getting it. To paraphrase the venerable Lloyd Benson, “Senator, I knew some meat eaters. Some of those meat eaters were friends of mine. Senator, you’re no meat eater.”

Peace and love,

Syd
