Penn & Teller Expose Socialist Roots To Environmental Hysteria
News Busters ^ | July 26, 2008 | Noel Sheppard

In 2003, Showtime's Penn & Teller program with a name not appropriate above the fold -- unless, of course, you're a member of the Netroots! -- marvelously exposed what's behind the global warming and environmental hysteria in America today.

The videos have just come available on YouTube.

In part one (embedded right), the comedy team accurately depicted environmentalists as political and social activists who use green rhetoric to "cloak agendas that actually have more to do with anti-corporatism, anti-globalization, anti-business, and very little to do with science and ecology."

Exactly. Parts two and three are embedded below the fold with a warning that these videos contain mild vulgarity. Actually, it's typically one word that most shouldn't find too offensive for it properly characterizes what's behind all this nonsense:

Penn & Teller, like Parker & Stone, don't particularly care who they offend on any side of the political spectrum. Sure, they're vulgar, but they go after hypocrites like Jesse Jackson after a porkchop.

Funny stuff.

And the clowns selling books, buttons, etc. at these events are just mini-Gores trying to make a buck off of a flawed cause.

Worse yet, some public schools use the industrial solvent DHMO as a performance enhancer!

and they can cancel out our well-informed votes...doesn’t that make y’all feel good about democracy?

I still say that we need to restrict the vote to those to whom it was originally restricted - land owners. No representation without taxation!

The one they aired last night was hilarious. They had a wacko lady who gave out gravel as a gift to carry around to recognize that mother earth is still there, and then they brilliantly compared carbon trading as modern day to the selling of indulgences.

When I saw the Penn and Teller title, I thought it was going to be about their most recent show, which you have now mentioned. I loved it! It was almost as good as last week’s dolphin show, and I am looking forward to them covering anger management next week.

One of the items I enjoyed last night (after laughing myself almost on to the floor with that “eco anxiety” scam artist with the pepples), was the guy (I’m awful at names) who had broken story about AlGore’s “carbon footprint”, and the death threats and other emails he had received for breaking that story!

While we all here enjoyed the Penn & Teller video’s linked here on this thread let’s not forget that they have one called “The Bible Is Bullsh*t”.

Both Penn and Teller are devout atheists.

They just did a new episode on the green movement.

Care to guess who happened to set up a company that sells “carbon credits” a couple of years before releasing a movie that fed global warming hysteria and urged people to buy “carbon credits” to offset their “carbon footprint”?

The wildest part of the whole deal is that those who really DO care about the environment seem to be completely oblivious to the fact that it's the socialist and communist governments that historically have been the worst environmental offenders, and these people have not only infiltrated the "environmental movement," they've taken over! While capitalism tends to promote "real" environmentalism, by allowing market forces to open new opportunities for preserving the environment FOR USE BY HUMANS! The soviet union, red china, north korea, in fact, all the countries behind the iron curtain were ecological disasters!

For instance, you'll find that many species that were nearly wiped out have bounced back, primarily through the stewardship of those interested in HUNTING! For instance, if it weren't for hunters deciding that limits needed to be placed on the number of deer taken or there would be no hunting, there wouldn't be the glut of deer we have today. And in fact, there simply isn't enough hunting going on right now for stable deer populations.

But this was implemented by capitalists, NOT socialists!

We have a winner.

So when Al Gore says he offsets his carbon footprint, remember that he does so by buying the “credits” from his own company.
