"The great irony of morality is that for most of the last two thousand years what was considered moral was often actually evil" 50 years from now, eating meat might be seen as evil. That doesn't change the fact that saying R's don't think about morality is a lie. "blah blah blah, blah blah blah..Does that look like spaghetti?? " Sure does, but I can still read "liberal immorality is killing babies" thru the slop. Does neither side think about morality, or does each side think about it in its own way?

Remember your claim was not that Republicans are misguided about their moral beliefs, (although you've claimed that before as well), that would be a different claim which would require a different response (as was made to you before). You claimed rather that Republicans don't think about morality. When presented with one (of many, but one will do) way that many of them do think about morality you dismiss because you don't agree with that moral judgement. But your agreeing doesn't matter in this context. Even if you could go beyond disagreeing, if someone you could show that they were objectively wrong here, it would still be a case of them thinking about morality. "Incorrect" thoughts are still thoughts.
