I wouldn't give that website a hit if you paid me.

[TornadoAlley3]

Dang, Ted has started a civil war. LOL.

[heylady]

Do they have fewer divorces because fewer
actually get married in the first place?

[justlittleoleme]

What Democrats think from the Huff Po....

[wideawake]

Not a Trump fan, but that was really a misstep by Cruz.

[miss marmelstein]

The rich and famous can afford divorce. They can still live a wealthy lifestyle, send their kids to excellent schools, and maintain good relationships with their exes. When it devolves to the rural working class and the poor, the exact opposite happens: increased poverty, children falling into drugs and horrendous fights between parents which often ends at the point of a gun or a knife.

Personally, when I pick up a paper, I don’t see that Texas is above bad values, crime or liberals, for all the bragging that goes on at FR from Texans.

[Ditter]

Yeah, shacking up doesn’t require a divorce when you move out.

[MNGal]

I wonder if the reason for New York ranking very low in number of divorces could be because people choose not to get married in the first place and just live together, instead?

[Arm_Bears]

Actually, it’s all them Yankee carpetbaggers moving here and then getting divorced.

[CatherineofAragon]

Huffington Post says liberal values matter, and Trump supporters agree, LOL.

[cripplecreek]

Gay marriages?

[pleasenotcalifornia]

I wouldn’t have gone out my to tick off New Yorkers. I know this from my in-laws.

[FatherofFive]

For example, there is less out of wedlock births

Yeah. What are the abortion rates?

[TexasCajun]

If you have to post a left-wing rag to support your candidate.

Ted Cruz must scare the hell outta ya.

[Essie]

I grew up in New York City. Only after not being there for many years do I realize that when you live there you are constantly saturated by liberal talking points. Abortion is a natural right, conservatives are idiots, any left value is good, etc. Even if you have conservative parents when the schools, papers, and televisions news give you a hard left slant all the time, your values are slowly corroded. In the recent NY gay parade, every man, woman, and child was exposed to total nudity. Those are New York values but not my values. Ted Cruz was right.

[BlackAdderess]

Makes sense. Libertarianism tends to be unfriendly to traditional marriage (what with prostitution and in general fooling around with anything with or without a pulse).

That website Ashley Madison also had a disproportionate number of members in the new South.

[Tennessee Nana]

less out of wedlock births

which means how many abortions ???

[Lazamataz]

if you want to judge by divorce rates, NY and NJ rank at last while 'traditional values' states [in the South] rank the highest

So don't come down here. You'll end up divorced.

[Teacher317]

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.

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.

[MortMan]

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.
