Protesters attempted to release two white doves to symbolize peace, but with scattered rain in the area, the doves declined to fly and had to be put back into their cages.And Bush, of course, was to blame.

The two planes which performed the noontime flyover, which has become a tradition at the San Antonio event, were T-1 Jayhawks, a trainer aircraft, not a 'fighter jet.' No fighter jets are based at Randolph. Ironically, the 99th Flying Training Squadron which fly the jets is the descendant of the 99th Pursuit Squadron, formed in 1942 as an all Black unit known as the Tuskegee Airmen. Clueless leftists.
What else is new?
George Bush's weather machine made it rain and thus prevented the doves from flying. It's true!

I lived in S.A. for quite a few years.
If you took out the military, that would be a much smaller town.
Kelly AFB (now gone), Brooks AFB, Lackland AFB, Randolph AFB, Medina AFB (now gone), Ft. Sam Houston...
I wonder how they would like it then?

San Antonio is a HUGE Air Force city...Randolph AFB, Brooks AFB, Lackland AFB, Kelly AFB plus Ft Sam Houston. These protestors need to STHU and be proud of our US military. They have to right to free speech but our military planes OWN the airspace!
AIM HIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jets overhead, it's the sound of Freedom!
I seem to remember that Dr King was a big supporter of Freedom.

"...the doves declined to fly and had to be put back into their cages."
Which just goes to show that even birds dislike being used as leftist patsies.

The black pilots say we fly fighters to guarrantee your right to spout anti-military crap like that, we'd have done that for MLK too.

"The inclusion of a fighter jet is as ludicrous in the march as a pacifist being invited by the Army to sit before a tank at a military parade," said Tommy Calvert Jr, a member of one of several groups which wore black armbands to the march to demonstrate the presence of the aircraft. Let's cut Tommy some slack. It's gotta be very hard on Tommy knowing that he is able to practice his pacifism "only because rough men stand ready to do violence on his behalf".

I'm not knocking who and what MLK did and fought for, but a FEDERAL holiday honoring him should've never happened. There's enough MLK parkways across the country to suffice being honored.

..but with scattered rain in the area, the doves declined to fly and had to be put back into their cages. Typical fair weather peaceniks.

Did these lefties forget that the U.S. Army freed the slaves, not MLK?
