AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM
America is the only country ever founded on an idea. The only country that is not founded on race or even common history. It's founded on an idea and the idea is liberty. That is probably the rarest phenomena in the political history of the world; this has never happened before. And not only has it happened, but it's worked. We are the most flourishing, the most powerful, most influential country on Earth with this system, invented by the greatest political geniuses probably in human history.

Beautiful words, indeed.
Now tell me: why is he gone and Peter Fonda is still around?
So sad.
He was a great writer, BUT he was an AGNOSTIC at best! Everyone is making him into a saint.
Or Jane Fonda, for that matter.
The “wisdom of Charles Krauthammer”?
After Obama was elected, and before his inauguration, CK said he didn’t know what kind of president he would be. WE knew what kind of president he would be. How could he not know?
Read the article.
Agreed. BTT
Krauthammer started as a Marxocrat speechwriter for the odious Walter Mondale, then became a neocon warmonger shill advocating for every leftwing RINO position from anti-gun to pro-abortion to pro-illegal alien invasion to Hussein apologist to Tea Party hating to Never Trumper, with an unbroken record of always being on the wrong side of any position that the conservatives or traditionalists wanted to pursue. The guy was a false face Marxocrat plant in the Republican camp, like his bestest buddy George Will.
It is beyond ridiculous to see how the supposedly conservative people on this site trot out every stupid trope praising this guy to see who can post the most egregious hagiography for good ‘ol Krauthammer.
Tell us how you really think, lol!
But you are right: He espoused a lot of viewpoints that were completely at odds with my own political philosophy, and in some cases were downright repulsive.
P.S. — As I’ve said before ... If Charles Krauthammer was the worst political adversary in the U.S., this would be a great country indeed.
Ahh, the refreshing truth.
He did make me think though, often his column made me refine more thoroughly my own positions and become better at defending them.
Didn't agree with him at times and yet I respected his approach in how he debated. That's not a statement I can say very often about so many in the "media."

Good question.
I dunno, lots of grey area in that post, lots of room for reading between the lines, supposition and assumption.
I look forward to a follow-up post clarifying his position.
(KIDDING!!)
I prayed for Krauthammer all night long and today I’ll be praying for him all day and all of the night.
I saw him once quoted as having said something along the lines of atheism being an illogical point of view..a position that I strongly agree with.I have much less of a problem with those who'll at least acknowledge the possibility that God exists (agnostics) than with those who absolutely reject that possibility.
If you are TRULY smart, you will KNOW that GOD Exists!!
Thanks for your fine post. I didn’t know most of what you said in your post. Can’t know everything.
I watched Bill O’Reilly a few times and K said Trump would not win the nomination. Now that you tell me K was in league with that slimy George Will as a kiss-up to the Swamp Elite it all comes clear.
My semi serious satirical mantra: Thou Shalt Not Speak Ill of Donald Trump.
