There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. |
Fighting pseudoscience isn't free. We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with ![]() ![]() |

RealCatholicTV has dropped its YouTube video promoting the idea of replacing democracies with a benevolent Catholic dictator.

WorldNetDaily drops Ann Coulter because she thinks you can be gay and conservative. Also says that the gays have the Machismo. Update IT IS ON! Farah takes a subtle swipe at Coulter. Coulter on the other hand: "I will say that [Farah] could give less than two sh[i]ts about the conservative movement — as demonstrated by his promotion of the birther nonsense." |

Democracy is bad. Let's have a Catholic dictatorship instead! Hat tip (and yes, RealCatholicTV.com seems real, not a parody) UPDATE: The YouTube video has "Been removed by the user." |
