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. |

Wasn't this term generated because the original carpetbaggers really did have big bags made from carpets? Or am I imagining that?--Bobbing for apples 15:22, 19 October 2007 (EDT)
- I forgot that part. It was due to them being depicted that way in political cartoons of the time (because carpert bags were so cheap.) I'll update with that. (Stupid oversight on my part.) Researcher 15:27, 19 October 2007 (EDT)
