Today’s Blog Post
Michael Ignatieff and God and Getting’ Religion
Through out the present Election process, with our four or five political party leaders running to and from across our land, there has been more humour than this one writer can collect. I just don’t have enough days to write about it all! Too darn funny.
Now some of you reading this Blog know that I am a Minister, retired now, but still a Minister. I also am of the rather demonstrative types of Preachers, not quite as much that way as some of my southern Black Evangelist types are – but I can get excited when I believe in something.
Over the years I have watched the different Preachers let it fly. Some of them are most entertaining as they shout and holler and beller what has caught their little ole soul. Repetition and shoutin’ are favourite modes of gettin’ the point across… or maybe it is to just wake up your ole audience!
Now Black audiences particularly have responded in an unusual way… when the Ole Preacher bellers out his strong points… the audience cries back “AMEN AMEN – Preach it Brother!” The Preacher then bellers again and the audience shouts with all their might, “Don’t stop Brother, that’s right! Come on… Preach it Brother Preacher… AMEN AMEN!”
These words cannot tell you the amount of spittle that flies out of the Preacher’s mouth as his “Horse Lather” spills from his pores and he is “just a goin’ on and on and on!” My, it warms your soul to see a man catch a fire neath his breeches..! Amen, Amen!
I nearly died a few weeks ago when Michael Ignatieff got religion! Did you see it happen? Did you hear that man? Did you catch what he caught in his breeches?
“Rise Up!” “Rise Up!!” “I said RISE UP~!!!” Michael let it fly out over the faithful Liberal audience – again and again. Whoa! The Brother has caught religion! He is on fire… he is lighted up with da message… AMEN! AMEN!
Now the fact that Michael was ‘a preachin’ on or around Easter time… sheds a bit more light on what was happening at the rallies.
Jesus was crucified on a cross… then buried after he died… (when else would they bury him?)… then on the third day… are you ready for this….??? … God stepped forward and shouted… are you ready? “RISE UP!” “RISE UP!!!” “I Said RISE UP!” and that ole stone just popped its seal and rolled away… and Jesus Rose Up!!!
Amen! Amen! Amen!
Somehow Michael caught the picture… got religion… was stirred deep down in his little ole Liberal soul… and he started to speak God’s words… “Rise up!” “Rise Up!”…
Amen! Amen!
But to be honest – the Microphones used by the reporters didn’t catch the Liberal Audience’s response. I couldn’t hear an Amen anywhere in the house. In fact they all sat there looking like a bunch of Poker Faced Presbyterians on a Sunday Morning. They aint used to their Boss Man getting’ that strange religion.
In fact most of the Liberals in the collected audience looked like a scared deer in the headlights, just before the big BLAM!
“Rise up!” “Rise Up!”…
Amen! Amen!
None of the Liberals heard it… but Jack Layton did… and he Rose Up!
Now relax… Christian Friend of mine… I AM NOT SAYING THAT JACK IS JESUS! The stone didn’t roll away and Jack wasn’t in the tomb! But Jack did rise up… and oh bless my soul – he is still arisin’!!!!
Right about now another cartoonist caught the picture as well when Donato drew this cartoon….Quote or show...(reference below)
Come on at least smile… ! Jack is a Risen… and the others aint. It has brightened up the Bicker and Biting that has laid most of this election campaign out for all Canadians.
But hey… did you actually see the Liberal Miracle… Michael called out “Rise up – Rise up!” and Jean Chretien appeared on the scene and he was a preachin’ too. I saw it the other night! I saw it! I saw IT! I really did. The dead did come back to life again!
I can clearly conclude or delude myself into believin’ that Michael and God are close! I am not really sure what religion he is holding on to… but this dear man needs a miracle… Rise Up – Rise up!
Amen! Amen! Amen!
