Hmmm... I don't see how that has to do with morality... but if you would like to think those are issues of morality you might want to pick up a dictionary. Regardless on issues such as anti-smoking or anti-SUV.. it tends more to be issues of not harming others. They take up issues they feel harm the enviroment.. harm people(smoking on airplanes) etc etc. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with those demo opinions but I will tell you they are certainly not moral issues.

No, you're the one who ought to pick up a dictionary - do you understand that morality refers to the battle between right and wrong, between good and evil? That's exactly how the Demo/Commies frame their criticisms of Republicans and their values.

Shrill leftists preaching about the evils of capitalism, private property, SUV-driving and owning, etc. do it out of their own twisted view of "morality" and their desire to control the actions of others even though those actions do not cause harm to others.

But even if you were to ascribe benevolent intentions to those Dem moralists (which I can't - I've been on the receiving end of too much unreasoning, incoherent, knee-jerk hatred from radical lefties), you're trying to draw a distinction without a difference. Sorry - no dice. If you were fair you would have to acknowledge that the "Republican moralists" that you deplore believe (for example) that having an affair is not a victimless "crime", therefore they fit very easily under the "pass" that you are trying to give to the Democrat moralists whom you evidently support.
