If a mentally disabled person stabbed my son to death, I'd want him to fry. It's not his fault he's not right in the head, but it's not mine or my son's either. Looking from the outside in I can see how that might sound cold. But frankly, all the political correctness and coddling of everyone in this country has me half out of my mind as it is, and I don't ever really have to deal with it first person.
I don't believe everyone is created equally. I think the concept from the founding fathers was to imply that every man, woman and child should have equality in OPPORTUNITY. Hell, most of them owned slaves... so it obviously wasn't the meaning we have for it today. If you go and fuck up your chance for an equal part of the pie, all bets are pretty much off. I'd say this touches MANY parts of our society.
Does free speech trump a person's right to mourn peacefully? There is no Constitutional right to mourn. Why? Because 200 years ago, groups of churchgoers didn't go and heckle people's fucking funerals. That's why! Unless they were witches... and even then, the families were allowed to mourn.
The PC/coddling/excessively liberal views in this country are as abhorrently off-kilter from the intent of our Constitution as the extremist views of Islam are. To keep this at least slightly cheeky, I'll toss out my favorite comments on this topic, used every time it comes up with somebody. Why are there tags on blow dryers? If you WANT to us it in the shower, who the fuck is the government to mandate tags suggesting otherwise? Chlorination of the gene pool once in a while is a good plan. Right now, it's getting a bit murky. I think I saw a bunch of high school kids the other day that looked a bit like duckweed. Besides, we're running out of good, clean oxygen to breath. I'd rather not waste it on the unworthy.
