The claim by "cultural conservatives" that morals are somehow universal is, beyond being just plain wrong,...The distinction between those things seen as universally wrong and those which are not is clear. The former have victims.Some moral values are consistent among cultures, such as not committing murder, theft, assault, or fraud. They can better be described as "ethics".
This looks like a contradiction to me. All you've done is called "morals," "ethics." In reality, there is no difference.

"...the former have victims..."
I think you're attempting to clear the air on the definitions a bit--but be careful. Many have claimed that prostitution is a "victimless" crime.
There are some immoralities which APPEAR to be victimless.
Are you endorsing the fundamental libertarian axiom, do unto others unless they don't want you to? Are you endorsing the idea of "victimless crimes"?
