:I just don't see any way one can intellectually hold meat eating wrong or abnormal and homosexuality right and normal.

And you would suggest this is Rightwing morality? I dont think so, now if you suggested imposing it through law and dictat then I'd say that's rightwing. The left does in the main lean toward moral relativism, it desearves correction there, but the left appears to ignore certain aspects of morality while reinforcing others usually at the expense of choice.

For instance your "Christian" Right in America tries to have states pass laws against abortion but also seeks to have all welfare for single parents cut back, the result being that people who choose to have children will life in desperationa and poverty.

I can see a contradiction there, maybe the right is more concerned with morality than people, myself I see the source of my morality to be a concern for people.
