The following has bothered me ever since I first heard about it. My first impression was that such bigoted stupidity does not have anyplace in government, but then I remembered my definitions of:to rule, government, liberal and bigot.
The head of the Utah Shriners (Remember the Shrine Circus?) contacted the Utah State Fair Committee about a display entry for the Shrine Hospitals of America. He was told that to enter a Pickup and 20 ft. trailer for the purpose of display would between $6000.00 to $7500.00 for the run of the fair, but not to worry too much about it as they really did not have room (at the Nazarene INN perchance?) for the Shrine organization.
[Ed. note; the relater of this incident was quite upset. His perception, from the tone of voice and the verbal punctuation used toward the caller, was that they were told that THEIR KIND (undesirable 9/11 bomber type of lowlife garbage eating etc.,) was not wanted and would they please go away and leave that person alone as the were not going to be welcomed or kindly helped in any way!.]
As the original contact person for the fair was a Denise Allen, CFE Phone (801) 538-8476 denise@utahstatefair.com, Head of Marketing and Public Relations, who then referred them to another person named Randy_unknown____ it is speculated that Denise is Randy's boss and was calling the shots behind the scenes. (Yea for that great PR work Denise! way to go girl!)
[Ed. note; To be fair, Denises' boss's contact info. is Acting Executive Director, Judy Duncombe, CFE.Phone (801) 538-8445 judy@utahstatefair.com.
after that you may want to try contacting the office of Utah Governor Gary Hubert. I have but they wouldn't put me thru! You might have more luck if you called the Utah Democrats.]
The Utah Shriner's and in fact the entire Shrine organization js dedicated to and chartered to help relieve the suffering of all children regardless of, and with out cost to the people involved. Nationally the Childrens Shrine Hospitals (there are 22+ of these across the country) donate annually in excess of $550,000,000 (that's 550 million dollars) in treatment services to our youth irrespective of race, creed ,religion or national origin (something about that sounds strikingly familiar, some sort of document perhaps?).
Each hospital has a differing area of specialized service and treatment and will often cross communicate if required.
In Utah the Childrens Hospital here will donate materials and services of over $25,500,000.00 (that's 25.5 million dollars) this year alone making it one of, if not the largest charitable donations in the state. (Even Bill Gates, would not be asked for a penny nor expected to offer money, to care for his children)
In fact they are so highly regarded by the other health care organizations for the types of, and quality of care provided, that they are continuously referring patients to them!
The Utah hospital will on the average, provide care to over 5,000 children this year, and not a dime is asked in return!
NO ONE PAYS OR IS EXPECTED TO PAY. IT IS ALL PROVIDED FREE!!!
The Shrine expected to pay their fair amount and were prepared to do so. They feel that it is important to get the word out about what they offer and things do cost money (after all not everybody is a charitable organization).
The way that were treated and the tone of voice in which the treatment was offered was definitely not Christian in any way, shape or form!
It is for the children of our community that the Shriners exist. I do question the motives of the Utah State Fair committee, Are they in fact aware that such callous, bigoted, idiots are answering the phones in their names? do they actually approve of the actions of these people? are they taking public monies to perform their self appointed tasks? or are they in fact the front people for the unvoiced majority in our State Government (Can you say Gary Herbert and company, who by the way are running for election!).
If these actions are typical and normal to the great State of Utah. If it is normal to let people with this type of attitude run things in your name and out of control. If money (maybe a bribe offer would have helped, these people might be from New York or Joisey) is the All important Idol to which we bow before, then let us change the name of our state as it is no longer the land of Deseret and we deserve more leadership from people like Obama! (Can you spell extreme?)
Maybe the truth will come out and liberals will rule the lands. Governor Hubert would you like to look into this on your own or would you like some help? we'll be waiting here to report!
Ed. note
The Shriners organizations in all states are quite large and well respected for their works. Most people are either related to, or personally know a Shriner. When word of this behavior gets around (as it will quite quickly, bad news travels fast!) ,I would hate to be the responsible party and I think that there could possibly be economic retaliation for the proffered insult!
