"Even the folks at Graceland are whispering"


I wonder if Alton R. Williams knows just how silly his statue is? Maybe if Mr. Williams repeats his chant enough, he'll believe it. He's certainly not convincing anyone who isn't part of his flock.

Welcome to Crazyland! It used to be known as Memphis, Tennessee, the place where Elvis was Lord, but thanks to Alton R. Williams, that nice city on the edge of the Mississippi is now a disgrace. You know that something's amiss in the heartland when even the folks at Graceland are whispering, “Tacky.”
Kim Ficeria, Don't Quote Me: The "Christianization" of Lady Liberty

I'm still amazed that someone could take a fantastic statue and turn it's meaning completely on it's head. Somehow their "Liberation Through Christ" is very exclusive to their kind. That should tell them that something is wrong.

What is liberty if it is reserved for the Elect?

I'll stick to the original, thanks. Even if it does get made into souvenir salt and pepper shakers.
