Washington (CNN) – Amid all the chaos of the last-minute deal in Washington, there was an unusual moment on the House floor moments after the bill passed.
A House stenographer and well-known employee calmly took to a microphone and began screaming.
"Do not be deceived. God shall not be mocked. A House divided cannot stand," she said, according to a House GOP aide. After a few seconds, she was escorted out by the Sergeant-at-Arms, but an audio recording by Todd Zwillich of Public Radio International captured the rest of her rant.
"He will not be mocked, He will not be mocked, (don't touch me) He will not be mocked. The greatest deception here, is that this is not one nation under God. It never was. Had it been... it would not have been... No. it would not have been... the Constitution would not have been written by Free Masons... and go against God. You cannot serve two masters. You cannot serve two masters. Praise be to God, Lord Jesus Christ."
"She’s a well-known person, she’s a perfectly nice person, a good colleague, somebody who’s respectable and dependable, and this is very surprising to everybody who works with her," Bash reported on air.
Wow. The Religious Right have begun infiltrating Capitol Hill's EMPLOYEES as well as Congress. Very scary.
What is so scary about someone who has a conservative religious perspective working on Capital Hill?

What's scary is that there is a REAL and POLITICALLY ACTIVE movement to make this country a Christian Theocracy.
Again, are you suggesting that members of "the Religious Right" should be denied employment on the basis of those beliefs?

Charles William "Bill" Young (born December 16, 1930) is the U.S. Representative for Florida's 13th congressional district, serving in Congress since 1971. He is a member of the Republican Party, and is currently the longest-serving Republican member of Congress. He served as Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations from 1999 to 2005 and still retains a seat on that committee. He will not seek re-election in 2014.[2]
From 1962 through 1964, Young served on the Florida Legislative Investigation Committee, commonly known as the Johns Committee, a legislative panel that investigated the activities of homosexuals, communists and others thought to be subversive. In 1964, the committee released a pamphlet entitled Homosexuality and Citizenship in Florida, which drew criticism at the time for its use of explicit photographs of homosexual acts.[6]
At the time, Young said of homosexuality: "Our report tried to show it in its true light – it's a very repulsive subject."[7][8]
Responding to reports that reprints of the pamphlet were being sold as pornography for a gay audience, Young said:
"This indicates how bold the homosexual is becoming and further proves the necessity of state government taking the lead in responsibility for preventing these confirmed homosexuals from preying on the youth of the state."[7] In 1993, Young was asked about his involvement with the report by the St. Petersburg Times and said: "I am not supportive of homosexuality, but that's the decision of the people who are involved in it. If someone wants to engage in that sort of behavior, that's their choice."
The Johns Committee had for several years conducted a witch hunt for homosexuals in public schools, universities, and state government agencies, believing they were part of a Communist strategy to "subvert the American way of life by controlling academic institutions and by corrupting the nation's moral fiber." By publishing its findings, the Committee hoped to persuade the Legislature to enact comprehensive anti-homosexual legislation, and to "shock Floridians into accepting its program."[1]
[The report] viewed homosexuals as the carriers of a degenerative disease that posed a greater menace to society than child molesters. . . . The committee expected readers to select a theory conforming to its own views, and the pamphlet portrayed gays as sex fiends who spent every free moment searching for anonymous partners, recruiting youth, or transmitting venereal diseases.
I am not going to lie and say this doesn't FREAK ME OUT! It does.
I was raised in the Evangelical Church, an active participant in my Youth Group and wanted nothing more than to live a life that exulted God. Very long story short, I was too inquisitive and "disrupted the spiritual growth of my peers". I was uninvited from my Youth Group at age 15, talk about a chip on the shoulder. I have walked away from the faith and found my own Truth since. I do not trust Christians to have a mind of their own, they are manipulated through fear mongering and their individuality is suppressed by the same, I have seen it first hand.
What better "target" for an MKUltra-esque plan? I feel that this woman was manipulated in some way for some yet unknown purpose. I may crack jokes, but that is only because this event makes me so very uncomfortable... it's a version of nervous laughter I guess.
Something is very wrong, deeply wrong and I sincerely believe we are all going to be witness to something akin to The End of Times. What exactly that will be? I have no clue, will it be the big, bad Armageddon of Revelations? The Blue Star of the Hopi? The Kali Yuga of the Hindu's? Maybe all of these? I won't say none of these because there is too much commonality between all of these teachings and more, The End of Times is a constant theme is ALL religious and spiritual belief sets. We are in them people, we are in them!

What do you make of this, ATS?
So, perhaps this stenographer was speaking ON HIS BEHALF, by proxy - seeing as he's retiring. Florida is a hotbed of these Evangelicals. Clearly, he is a Right-Winger.
