Last March, I posted about Kanab, Utah City Council's resolution on the family and the subsequent call for a boycott from Arthur Frommer. I'm happy to report that all is even better than before when it comes to tourist traffic through the "Little Hollywood" movie town.
"Arthur Frommer hurt us a little bit in the early part of the season and then we rebounded," said Ted Hallisey, Kane County's tourism director. County lodging taxes totaled $371,903 for the 12-month period ending Oct. 31, compared to $348,839 for the same period a year earlier, Hallisey said Friday. In October alone, taxes were $36,600, up 58 percent, he said.
In typical liberal fashion, Frommer responded by denying cold, hard facts and making ad hominem attacks.
"These are just numbers. I don't think it means anything," he said Friday from his office in New York City. "I still have grave concerns. My own conscience does not permit me to vacation among people who are as intolerant as that City Council."
Yet another case of a vocal minority trying to sound like the majority and being proven wrong by the numbers.
Frommer must be thinking about all the disposable income of those "families" with two incomes and absolutely no possibility of having children . . .
Crap. I bought my parents a Frommer's RV guide for Christmas. Had I known his deal, I would have gotten the other one I decided against.
Arthur Frommer. Mormon village. Baptist pastor. Muslim takeover.
Welcome to the Rainbow Coalition as viewed through a prism, darkly.
Picture, if you will, a religious think tank in Illinois opposed to homosexuality and abortion. Add a small town in Utah less than fifty miles from the largest polygamist colony in the United States. Blend in a missionary charged with converting Mormons to Christianity. Then garnish this unlikely dish with a dash of patriotism and a pinch of xenophobia.
It’s the late shift, and you’re working overtime at an all-night diner on the farthest fringe of what we like to call, the Twilight Zone.
Meet Doug Hounshell, a Baptist pastor in Kanab, Utah. A reverend’s kid born in Ohio, Pastor Doug now uses his weekly newspaper advertisements to further his calling and bring the word of the King James Bible to the people of southern Utah.
In a recent advertisement, Reverend Hounshell has stated “Only Muslims have high birth rates… Because of our society’s sins of homosexuality and abortion, the Muslims are one day going to inherit the Earth.”
Preaching to lifelong Mormons in the deepest heart of Mormon country, the Reverend Hounshell continues:
The Muslim world in many ways is “headed backwards into its barbaric phase… So ladies, if you think the Natural Family Resolution was bad for you, just wait till you all are wearing hijabs.”
Reverend Hounshell’s final advice for the women of southern Utah states “if you don’t want the world to turn into Saudi Arabia, then it might be wise to dust off your copy of the Natural Family and heed its vision.”
Offered for your consideration from this small, most odd corner of the Twilight Zone.
