While most people have basic right & wrong morals, there are inherent differences about the morality of the society that conservatives and liberals wish to live in. If we could send all the conservatives to one place to live the way they want and vise versa with the liberals I'd respect the way thye want to live. Unfortunately that is ot possible and we have the Republicans claiming they have a higher moral standing than the Democrats. Lets have a look at a few basic issues.

Gay Marriage: Republicans oppose this because it destroys family values. Can I ask how a gay couple going about their business affects someone else's family in any way whatsoever? Can I ask how it affects a straight couple that wants to get married? The answers are they don't. Gays will raise families weather they are married or not. Yet the rebublicans would have gays segregated from society much like women and blacks have been in the past because they don't like the idea of to men being intimate. Guess what..neither do I but I respect it. Scratch morals on that one.

Religion : Republicans love their religion. They want it in our government, in our schools and outside of our courthouses. I once heard a priest say that if your not christian then your going to hell when you die. Sounds to me like religion is just a human need to fill a void of intelligence. Believing in God is fine (I do) but having religion in public places is another issue of non-tolerance of other religions in the world and is again immoral to think for some reason yours is better.

Drugs: Republicans and conservatives think drugs are the devil and should be banend at all costs. While abuses of either could be damaging to some, they don't directly hurt anyone else except the user. Prohibition doesn't work. Instead, education should be used to avoid lives turning to shit early on. Throwing people in jail for indulging themselves in something that doesn't harm anyone else is immoral.

Abortion: While telling a woman what to do with her body is immoral, the same could be argued about taking potential the life of a fetus so I'll leave this one alone.

Stem Cell Research: The ability to save millions from disease is within reach but the republicans say its unacceptable to kill an embyro which is not even a fetus. Sorry thats crazy. The lives of the living are worth more than stem cells. These are people who'll probably get in their pickup trucks and go hunting on the weekend and kill a few beatiful animals because its fun. Morality? Scratch that.

War: We have all these soldiers who signed up to fight for freedom so by golly lets use em. A few thousand of their lives are worth securing a polluting energy source.

Environment. Tom Delay decalred a jihad on the EPA. Need I say more?

Guns: Everyone must own a gun because everyone else owns a gun. When the shit hits the fan like during a natural disaster its better to have the desperate and dying armed and dangerous so they can shoot at rescue helicopters. We'll back it up with sexed-up statistics that show neighbourhoods with lots of guns have no measurable increase in crime. Gimme a break.

I'm sure there is more but thats all I can think of. The next time you hear someone say Dems have no morals, use this post.
