Politics / Sex Back Off, Glenn Beck
Posted by Dan Savage on Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 10:57 AM
The "three-G system" already exists, Mr. Beck, and I created it and popularized it. GGG stands for "good, giving, and game." It does not stand for "God, gold, and guns." (It also stands for Germanische Glaubens-Gemeinschaft, but only in Germany, and the East Texas Regional Airport, of course, but who the fuck flies to East Texas?)

I was once stopped at a traffic light behind a pickup truck with the bumper sticker, "God, Guts, & Guns" superimposed over a US flag. I was so disgusted that I threw my car into reverse for about 15 feet and then slammed on the gas pedal. I ripped his bumper, sticker and all, right off his stupid redneckmobile. One of the most satisfying days of my life.

God, gold and guns; sounds like a Lil' Jon or Soulja concert. I'm sure the Bek-y fundies would love to be associated with that.

Gold? Really?
Yeah, Jesus was all about the gold. Right.
I swear, the modern fundy right-wing has turned into a cargo cult.

At least it let you post, Geni. Hell, I haven't even been able to read comments for most of the morning.

Why doesn't Glenn Beck just move to his cabin in the woods, bar the doors and booby trap the road and leave the rest of us the heck alone?

wonder if Dan's skinny ass ever been to east TX, maybee im reading to much but there is some demeaning tone to it. You'd be surprised of the treatment you'd be getting. Glass houses Savage.

Every time I see one of those billboards for cell service with 3G coverage, and they spell it GGG, I laugh and laugh.

@11: I've been to East Texas-- Bryan, College Station, Onalaska, Jasper, Orange, most of it somewhat extensively.
I'm pretty sure Dan would be fine there. Hell, talk his talk as loudly as possible and they'd love him.
The rules out East that apply to queers aren't as strict as the rules that apply to you.

I always thought the repub version was God, Gays, and Guns, as in the only issues they care about when they vote.

Oh! It said this on the Uncle Sam billboard around Chehalis the last time I went down to Portland. Considering that billboard always displays something crazy, I didn't realize it was a Beckism.

Dan, you forgot GGG.com. Free Online Girls Games on GirlsGoGames.com. And, before people go typing it in, it's free online games for tween girls.

What the fuck good is gold going to be if the country collapses. it isn't like a leprechaun is going to come by and offer you 200 pounds of food for some gold.
He doesn't even have his end the world rapture plans figured out properly. Figured he could at least get that right.

in HS history class we learned the three G's were Gold, God and Glory - the three things that motivated European explorers to colonize the New World back in the 16th and 17th centuries. hmm what was that also synonymous with? oh, right, genocide, slavery, and imperialism.
in case that gives you any idea of how far beck & co. have come...

Did anyone read the article under that second link? Excellent analysis of the right-wing populism that Glenn and Sarah embody.

Ah, but The Mr. T Experience beat you to the punch:
God, Guts, and Guns made America free
Let's keep all three

from an ex-Seattle-ite living in Austin....Texas ain't so bad...Just watch out for the rest of this red f**cking state.
Don't forget, most of Washington is a redneck paradise.
