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

Carolla is NOT a liberal, as stated.

Progressivism has permeated the country and it is toxic. This film should be a conversation starter and hopefully it will be. I can remember growing up and having free speech explained to me by my teachers. It was held in high esteem and we learned its importance. We have all heard that freedom can be lost in one generation and I always thought that was overblown, but now I no longer hold that view. Experience has proven to me that that is, indeed, possible. I guess I just thought everyone was taught what I was taught in school. That was naive and we are paying the price for it now. A. Conversation would be helpful but today’s young people are too volatile and resistant to anything they oppose. They don’t want to hear it. Sadly, until we allow differing opinions to be heard, young people will be arrogantly ignorant. Parents, it’s never too young to instill values in your children. Make it a point to rear critical thinking patriots. They will be happier because the garbage that is being taught to young people today seems to produce angry, violent, anarchists.

Wisdom comes from God only. Wisdom discerns right or wrong. So if you belong to a party that is taking God out of society, what do you think is happening to wisdom. It is going right out the window. Most of what I hear from Democrats and liberals is "gibberish" to me. There is no logic or sense to it.

America is losing its grip as a civil society. We must stop this ugly trend from progressing any further. We don't want to become another once-great nation.

The Free Speech movement was born on campus, Berkeley, and now it's being killed on campus. I'm amazed that today's students aren't capable of the critical thinking required to see what's happening.
The communists burrowed into academia must be bursting with pride at having created so many useful idiots.

I agree with #3, without God in our private and public lives people are prey to every perversion. The old saying is true; if you don't believe in God you'll fall for anything. Our countrymen no longer share the Judaeo-Christian values that built Western Civilization and the nation is disintegrating.
Our one, and always only, hope is in The Lord through our prayers and supplications. Believers in the Truths found in the Bible and the Torah need to live these Truths every day. Christians can take heed of St. Francis of Assisi's instruction to "preach the Gospel at all times and use words only when necessary." I believe we are in a time when words are a necessary component. We have second and third generations that grew up and live "unchurched" simply because no one has ever invited them to join in a church service. Our much needed third American "Great Awakening" can only begin with the fire in our own souls. Without God no change in politics will save America.
MAGA - Pray. Pray hard...and go to church!

A lot of what is going on today was foreseen by George Orwell in his book "1984." It describes a totalitarian dystopia where to even have thoughts counter to what the government wants you to think is a crime that will get you imprisoned and re-indoctrinated. You are constantly reminded that "Big Brother is Watching You."
Today, educational institutions and "politically correct" speech, strongly resemble the "Ministry of Truth" and "newspeak" in the book. And, Progressive political campaigns resemble "1984" "Hate Week" rallies.
How far we have gone down this road is frightening.

While we've heard a constant bleat about classism - upper, lower and middle - in an economic context, we are now seeing classism in the context of individual rights.
At the bottom we have the foolish, the impoverished and, of course, the protected. Any blue portion of the nation is a virtual guarantee of a lawless rabble most of whom lay claim to minority status.
At the top we have corrupt elites including the courts who not only excuse the rabble's violence, irresponsibility and sense of entitlement but enforce it.
Squeezed in between them is what you might call the middle class of liberty. People who are told they can't exercise their rights even when the two bookends are targeting them for destruction.
