Lizzie: Your use of the divorce rate stats that you’re using is flawed—those statistics actually reflect a divorce rate per population, rather than a divorce rate per marriage.

There are divorce rate statistics based on per marriage (from CDC data I think), and those stats seem to indicate that there is no red or blue state correlation. On the other hand, when it comes to “splitting their families,” Kerry from Massachusetts did, Bush from Texas didn’t.

Also, your use of “Red States feed at Federal Trough” statistics appears to be equally flawed, but I suspect that your beliefs lie in a left leaning blue state direction, so I won’t bore you with contrary data.

However, regarding your belief that “the system of evolution by natural selection is one to get away from as fast as we can,” it’s likely that many of my red state brethren would say, "Amen sister!"
