With the Martin Luther King march approaching, I want to commend members of the march commission who voted against the planned military fly-over of the fighter jets.
King was not one to march to the beat of the military drum. His words and message went against the mainstream of acceptance of war as a means to obtain peace. He said, standing in the shadow of Mahatma Gandhi and Jesus Christ, who insisted that the system must be changed, "Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him."
King's actions showed that, just like those in the military, one offers his or her life for the freedom of others. But King's message is different, strong, even radical: Do it without the violence, do it with love and understanding.
The six who voted against the fly-over were brave to insist King's message not be diluted or twisted, mainstreamed or made "palatable." His message was difficult for many to accept in 1968. It is no less challenging today. That is why we march. We cannot forget.
King spoke so strongly against war. Fighter jets do not serve as a tribute. They serve as a demonstration of misunderstanding King's message.
City Councilwoman Patti Radle
Shall we wager that this councilwoman is a Dim?
goes w/o saying.

Patti Radle is no doubt a proponent of the MLK adultery float displaying the likeness of the numerous mistresses of the civil rights leader thus maintaining the theme of "do it with love and understanding."
I thought MK liked to beat up women.
But I say, King - and all other peace-niks - are able to freely march only because of the brave men and women who fought for peace.
Good thing we dumped Washington's birthday for MLK day. NOT
I don't think it's her being a Dimmi that causes me to wretch when she opens her mouth. It's that she's a Peace & Justice Catholic with some of the extremely goofy ideas that are rampant within that crowd..
BTW, I am Catholic, and I think her idea of spending millions on a homeless hotel sucks. She was livid when her "remorseless" councilmen voted for the following:
Aggressive panhandling and urinating or defecating in public are now banned. People can no longer camp in public without a permit, which includes sleeping in vehicles. Sitting or lying down in right of ways in public places is now illegal, but only in the city's central business district.
IMHO, she is a peace & social justice extremist.

Call him what he was, a socialist and a tool of the communists.
Councilwoman Radle is an empty-headed twit who started out well enough by starting Inner City Pantry, a food bank ministry for the West Side, with her husband Rob, but apparently it was a front for VERY socialist (some might say communist, and I wouldn't argue) ideas. They were both ultra-rich kids from up north who got caught up in the guilt of the 60s and just haven't gotten over it yet. Hence the continued anti-military flatulence.
Imagine that!
Is there any Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd, Street, Avenue, etc. that is safe to walk on during any hour of the day?
These people are so darn smart. Just think if we had only been non-violent and had shown love and compassion to Adolph and Tojo, that entire WW II thingy would not have been necessary.
I say we send these San Antonio folks to Iran to see if they can learn to sing Kumbaya too.
