Opinion of Penn and Teller

Bullsh**t is a great show, except when they rant on environmental issues (which they only do a couple of times, so it's no big deal).  Usually, they're spot on.

I don't understand how they are "conservative".  They certainly aren't conservative in the same way Rush is or Palin is or even the same kind of conservative that Dennis Miller is.  What makes them "Conservative", is it the pro-gun thing?  Is it the anti-environmentalism?  They only bash on the extremists (and use facts to do it and as leftists always tell us, facts have a liberal bias).  They are HUGE on showing naked people every chance they get.  They rip on Christian Fundies a LOT.  I suppose anybody with talent that doesn't hate guns and read from the Green Bible must be a conservative?  How broad of a term (and worthless) is "conservative" if both Penn Jillette and Pat Robertson are included?

If they wouldn't trash environmentalism (and I mean reasonable environmentalism based on science, not hippie nutjobs...those deserve to be trashed), they would be perfect FF's.  Even as it is, they are FF's with a good tv show.

What reasonable environmentalism have they trashed?

To suggest that there is no scientific consensus on global warming is outright wrong. And yes, I know they put the disclaimer on the episode "Being Green" and all that, but still...in all of their episodes about environmental stuff they use some loony hippie to represent the left rather than someone mainstream.

All religious ideas are just people's opinions and thoughts, while environmental issues are questions of facts and science (regardless of what you choose to believe), so those aren't really  comparable.
