The claim by "cultural conservatives" that morals are somehow universal is beyond being just plain wrong,...

Some moral values are consistent among cultures, such as not committing murder, theft, assault, or fraud. They can better be described as "ethics".

"Moral" considerations involving eating, drinking, smoking, entertainment, attire, consensual sex, etc. vary from culture to culture.
In a free nation, it's best for government to butt out of those.

All you've done is called "morals," "ethics." In reality, there is no difference.

It's impossible to rebut a contradictory statement.

If you think you know what his point is, rephrase it, and I'll reply to it if I have time.

Certainly not an immoral method.

Erocc does not share the concept of morality which was prevalent in this country in 1954.

He's part of the problem PJB discusses.
