Is Yahoo Answers being overrun by conservatives?

This is my 5th account or so. All my previous accounts got removed because i was supposedly preaching hate. How come questions like "Do you think awg-deniers suffer from Dunning-Kruger syndrome?" (which is a real condition/effect) and "Explane to me how 6000 year old goatherders supposedly know more of life than evolutionary biologists today?" get removed and questions like "Does Obama believe money grows on trees?" (off course filled with childish words like libtard, obamanist and other hatefull and racist bullshit) don't get removed?

Isn't it striking how the "you don't have to wait"-comments on questions about sex before marriage get thumbed down massively?

I'm not even into politics, but seems that Yahoo answers is overrun by rednecks, pat robertson-like conservatives and christian fundamentalists and that the staff permits any question reported by them to be removed.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Update:

If Yahoo Answers was being overrun by liberals, my questions wouldn't have been removed. But the answerers that suggested this tell me enough...

    I never waited until I got that far. I voluntarily close and open a new account routinely. I do not care about star levels and points. But I do not have more than one account ever. I might get a second one if I want to keep myself anonymous and not give out personally revealing information in more personal questions that wackos on politics could stalk me with. It is not a bad idea to have an alias if you have a good reason. I have never to date had more than one at a time. This whole thing is silly enough as it is without trying to cheat over silly thumbs and points.

    Source(s): I have had things removed too. You might just be paranoid. It would take a much bigger control group to make your point valid-than just "you".

    I would like to meet that 6000 year old goatherder. Imagine the stories he could tell. I wonder if he takes a multi-vitamin tablet in the morning.

    No, it's really just 20 or 30 user with 20,000 id's. I lost my first account to a bunch of gang-violators (Not that I'm still bitter or anything). So I know how annoying it is. I rarely ask questions anymore because of it.

    Well maybe because of the words you just use " Rednecks, Pat Robertson-like." Think about it

    You observed right. The same is happening in the printed news these days.

    As to the "Muslim" evolution, it is replacing "child molesting Priests

    . You get the twist?

    Never trust a Progressive. They will throw you under the bus if they think your hurting their cause.

    Could it be that most people by nature are more on the conservative side? Even if they don't really want to admit it.

    The minority is usually more vocal in all political situations.
