New York Values beat Southern Values: Less divorce rate than south (even counting Trump's divorces)

Just having a little fun at Cruz's expense but his talk about New York values is a little stupid.

New York - be it the city or the state or the tri-state area (NJ, CT and sometimes PA) is pretty conservative in a lot of things. For example, there is less out of wedlock births and less crime than many cities in the so called south these days and if you want to judge by divorce rates, NY and NJ rank at last while 'traditional values' states rank the highest.

Texas is one of the leading divorce rates states.

Not much incentive to go past that line. SMH

Yeah, NYC... conservative in so many ways. Notice how they ignore actually-conservative up-state NY, and instead drag in NJ and CT instead. Sigh.

And yet there are stories in today’s news that Cuomo says pro-life, pro-natural marriage, and pro-2nd amendment viewpoints are not in line with New York values.

I grew up in NYS (way upstate). I know the political values and NYC worldview are not universal. But I also know they are antithetical to freedom.

New York has spread its poison all over Red England, along with Florida and the Carolinas. You should hear the filth pouring out of the children (I’m talking 5 years old and up) in Red Hampshire nowadays...I’m sure that’s the case in the other Red England states.

"But the NY centric media is in full agreement with them."

Exactly. Conservatives understand what Cruz was talking about.

I suspect some of them here understand it, too, but they see an opportunity to attack Cruz or else they just want to go along with their pack.

Why does the liberal media hate Cruz so much? People should ask themselves that question.

"Once again its starting to look like Ted Cruz has goaded them into proving his point."

While Trump stood there yelling like someone's drunk uncle at the family cook-out.

there is less out of wedlock births

There are fewer out of wedlock births

or

there is less out of wedlock birth

English is an established language. Journalists should learn it in an English speaking country.

I am not a journalist. This is is a vanity post mostly for fun - like in a tavern talking stuff.

These people control 99% of the media in this nation, and now have a blunt club to beat Cruz over the head, handed to them by Cruz himself.

Most people in the country don't trust the media. So let them attack Cruz.

While NYC invented rap music - the Dirty South made it dirty.

It’s too expensive to get divorced in NYC.

CRUZ: SCOTUS ELITES THINK FLYOVER COUNTRY VIEWS SHOULDN'T BE RESPECTED

He has to apologize. The libs and Dem media are saying it was a slap at Jews. We know Ted loves Israel, but many low info folks do not.

This whole thing started from a interview that Trump had with Tim Russert in 1999...not sure what the big deal is when all Cruz was doing is stating the FACT that in the interview Trump supports certain liberal ideologies and Trump said “well, I am from New York”. Those are the New York values that Cruz is referring to...

“Most people in the country don’t trust the media.”

Most people in this country voted for Obama twice.

Most people in this nation say they dont “trust” the media like they say they dont like congress, but then vote for their sitting congressman every time.

And the “media” isnt just newspapers. It’s late-night talk shows, websites like Buzzfeed, and HuffPo, and even people on YouTube and Twitter. Places where people DO listen and trust what they say.

“So let them attack Cruz.”

A needless rhetorical war at an inopportune moment out of pride is utterly stupid.

It’s like watching the charge of the light brigade. Just turn the damn horses around and get out of the gunfire and fight another day.

LOL, blessing him in July and mocking him now.

I’ll be damned if I flip my principles like a rug on a clothes line to support some progressive big-government lying statist.
