The new documentary No Safe Spaces, starring conservative thinker, radio host, and writer Dennis Prager and liberal, comedian, and podcast host Adam Carolla, is a must-see for anyone concerned with the long-term viability of the First Amendment's free speech protections. While primarily focusing on the hostility to free speech laying siege to America's college campuses, vividly illustrated with compelling clips of violent protests and civil unrest by students from Berkeley to Yale, No Safe Spaces powerfully illustrates how the movement to limit speech has moved into mainstream arenas as well.

Prager and Carolla recognize that "common sense and values" are disappearing for the first time since our country's founding. There are appearances by figures on both sides of the ideological spectrum including liberals Barack Obama, Van Jones, Cornell West, Dave Rubin, and Alan Dershowitz, all of whom recognize the dangers to the country when progressive notions of microaggressions and safe spaces become the new normal.

We are now in the midst of a cultural revolution similar to the one in China 50 years ago. Where Chairman Mao sought to eliminate all traces of capitalism from their economy, today’s progressives seek to annihilate all vestiges of Christian values from our society.

I agree. However, until people are willing to stand up and put everything at risk, the enemy will pick us off one at a time. Just like they did in China.
