Wife of NC State Senator says Amendment One is necessary ‘to protect the Caucasian race’

[HillWilliam]

I don’t even know where to begin to unpack this trash. Chad Nance who is a freelance journalist in Winston-Salem and is covering the election here in NC, recorded the wife of NC Sen. Peter Brunstetter confirming that she believes that Amendment One’s destiny is not only to save marriage, it apparently also has something to do with white power preservation. (!)

Nance said he recorded a conversation with the woman, whose name is Jodie Brunstetter, on video, and that she confirmed that she used the term “Caucasian” in a discussion about the marriage amendment, but insisted that otherwise her comments had been taken out of context by other poll workers.

What the fucketyfucking fuck?!?!?! Read more on Pam's House Blend.

2. I wrote an article for here that said

They will try to ban abortion by state. So, red states will force women to concieve, drive out women of color to blue abortion states and voila, more caucasians.

Did I forget to mention red states making contraceptives hard to find/buy?

3. So what she's doing here

is making sure that her husband absolutely does NOT get re-elected, right? Excellent strategy. Now they can retire for sure.

4. Since 2008 BIG money has flooded this state

The only ads on TV besides Walter Dalton (D) are for one teafreak after another. The Dems can't get a word in edgewise for all the screed.

Where is DCCC? Where is DSCC? Where is ANY Dem money?

It feels as if NC is being written off by the establishment just exactly the way they did us in 2006. I'm beyond furious.

To its credit, HRC has been actively fighting Amendment One, but I still think we're going to lose. My partner and I are giving careful thought to moving... walking away from our house and land if necessary.

6. This tends to prove that the authors of the amendment know it will hurt single straight families.

The amendment is written so broadly, it will likely strip benefits from all unmarried couples and their children. It's clear that the newly elected Republican legislature in North Carolina intended this. They put this language there. I am certain that this is not just an "unintended consequence" but actually the main intention of this amendment. Marriage for gay people is already illegal in North Carolina and there is zero chance of that changing anytime soon. This is not a pressing issue in the state, even for the homophobes. What is a pressing issue is throwing as many people as possible off what the Republicans like to call "welfare rolls."

This woman's statement is logically consistent with the actual intentions of the authors of the amendment, which is to strip protections from everybody who isn't in a one man-one woman marriage. They know damn well that this will hurt single moms and their children. They want it to.

7. It will require that white homosexuals breed at gunpoint.
