There's something cryptic and elusive about Krauthammer, like the coy Waldo in the famous puzzle. (And don't miss Steve Green on "Krauthammer Correcting Krauthammer." )
Charles Krauthammer has long been recognized as one of America’s most astute and authoritative political columnists, acknowledged as a cut above the majority of his scrivening colleagues. And yet there is something cryptic and elusive about him, like the coy Waldo in the famous puzzle. Perhaps he resents being put in boxes and wishes to preserve his independence of judgment, or his unpredictability.
Still, one detects a growing tendency to pronounce upon critical affairs without sufficient grounding in the penetralia of things along with a positional inconsistency that renders him at times maddeningly unlocatable, like a slippery electron in a split-screen experiment.
In other words, it is becoming increasingly difficult to determine where he can be reliably found on the ideological scale. Is he a conservative, a centrist, a “situational libertarian,” or all of these at different times? Is he a fiscal conservative like Terry Corcoran and, simultaneously, a social liberal like Alan Dershowitz? He is certainly far to the right of the New York Times, as any thinking person must be, but then he writes for the ultra-liberal Washington Post. Does he share a secret sympathy with choice portions of its editorial line or is he the paper’s resident conservative, whose purpose is to impart a semblance of impartiality?

It’s not my fault he acts like a cold Freudian who secretly suspects Sarah suffers from penis envy. Perhaps before his accident he was a wild and crazy guy, who knows?
And if I can’t do personal insults on FR, where, O Lord, where?
This has got to be the next winner in the annual Bulwar-Lytton Contest for worst sentences in a literary effort.
The first winner was from an 1830 novel:
"It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents - except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies) rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamp that struggled against the darkness."

yeah, you are free to be stupid on freepr....and show ignorance about psychiatry, therapy and lots else.
personal insults must be as far as you can get in political discourse, but then, its a free country.
Charles Krauthammer is the guy who stabbed Christine O’Donnell in the back.
Good luck...anyone who dare have the slightest criticism of one of the Holy Ones on Freep, Like Sarah..must be insulted, misquoted and dismissed from the whole conservative movement!
How juvenile.
Well....
Well, you use the exact same illogical and poor behaviors. You might as well just go over to Daily KOs to run your rants about CK...They would love you there...AND understand you better.
Won't that be fun?
Would love to see her wipe the floor with Obama in a debate, no teleprompter assistance for him... just "mmm.... uh ...uh.... let me be clear..... uuuh, umm... "
Hey, you just insulted me - you’re no monument to civility, either.
Are you certain he’s had a “nose job”? He was paralyzed in a diving accident. Perhaps he injured it then.
You might be right. It’s definitely been worked on though.
If someone worked on it, I hope they didn’t accept payment. :)
Nope...Stupid in the context I used it is not an insult, but a description of you (ie, you are blonde, you are thin, etc).
I described your behavior, which is stupid , ie “illogical, ignorant of the facts; unable to form connections in cognitive processing.”.....
ie...’stupid”.
Perhaps if you would read more and educate yourself than you would not be “stupid”.
Our RKBA is a pass/fail litmus test for me. If some elite pundit opines that we need to be slowly weaned of our firearms, by stealth, I put him on the other side of the great debate from me. No matter what else we may agree about. If CK doesn’t get that our RKBA is ultimately what will prevent us from being driven into some new Dachau, then I cannot respect him, period.
Who Is Charles Krauthammer ?
An Obama voter.
And perhaps you should return to the commune to discover your inner rudeness.
Once again you display your ignorance and inability to carry on with an argument..actually you just degenerate in your responses each time to a lower level of “stupidity”, ie, a behavior of not being the intellectual baseline required.
wow, your response was sooooo original too. did you think that all by yourself now that you feel the ignomy of your intellectual defeat?
I have not found any response to how CK feels now about gun control....That was 1996...
It s not fair to quote someone back then and never have a citing where he actually NOW says, “Yeah, I still believe that.”
