The following was sent to a friend of mine by a Jesuit. Obviously therefore, to me it is suspect from the start. I investigated, and the actual dates of birth I added to the original at the bottom. Every part of this conclusion is false. It’s the sort of thing that clever right wingers will feed ignorant left wingers to be able to discredit them and destroy their credibility. Standard Jesuit practice when dealing with other religions, here applied to politics. The Jesuit exceptions encounter problems in the Society, just as doctors straying from the party line have problems with the AMA.
Here is the message as sent...you may have received it yourself.
"Many will recall that on July 8, 1947, witnesses claimed that an unidentified object with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico. This is a well-known incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force and the federal government.
However, you may NOT know that in the month of March 1948, exactly nine months after that historic day:
1. George W. Bush
2. Dick Cheney,
3. Donald Rumsfield,
4. Bill O'Reilly and
5. Rush Limbaugh,
were all born. See what happens when aliens breed with sheep? This piece of information may clear up a lot of things. "
Here are the actual dates of birth:
1. George W. Bush July 6th 1946
2. Dick Cheney, Jan 30th 1941
3. Donald Rumsfield, July 9th 1932
4. Bill O'Reilly and Sept 10th 1949
5. Rush Limbaugh, Jan 12th 1951
None of these scumballs were actually born in March or in 1948. Nine months after is April not March incidentally, so everyone would have been a premature birth. I’m disappointed that this wasn’t true. It would give some sort of reason for their sociopathic behaviour.
This is a Karl Rove sort of tactic that only people who have been made paranoid by administration lies and deceptions would even think of suspecting.
But I know a man who has received calls on his answering machine in a language he doesn't even recognize. He is perturbed because he is a definite dissenter from current government policy, and knows that the message could be a plant to enable his arrest under several of the current laws. Thomas Jefferson said that dissent is the first duty in politics. With this crowd it's become a crime.
When dealing with temporary evil you need not be afraid, but you have to be alert so that you don't feed into it.
