To me, he was a rather average, run-of-the-mill sourpuss. Who hated Trump.
I pray for The Lord's peace for those close to him, and am confident we'll somehow manage in his absence.
His insight will be missed, but let’s not forget he had his moments of not getting it right. For months before the ‘16 election he was giving Trump almost no chance at winning the election. He was a liberal Republican in tune with his buddy George Will.He was an inspiration and a battler to overcome the roadblocks he faced.
I love your style, and concur about Herr Kraut.
The plain truth is, if you spend enough time as a Krauthammer, everything starts looking like a Kraut-nail. LOL
RIP Charles Krauthammer
One of the most vocal, eloquent and insightful critics of the Obama presidency.
Amen.
A nice guy but an establishment globalist hack.
He was not a conservative, he worked for Mondale at one point.
When it matter he went to his roots, the left.
Good post. I agree 100%
They were both on the same team.
It made me laugh! I love freepers and their opinions!
Well said.. 100% TRUE!
I always enjoyed listening to Charles Krauthammer, even though I sometimes disagreed with him.
And when I disagreed, I tried to remember what the Gipper said: “The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally - not a 20 percent traitor”.
Conservatives who are quick to criticize Krauthammer would do well to remember that.
RIP, Mr. Krauthammer.
I voted for Trump (the alternative was unacceptable) but I too had had no idea of what type of President. You never know if you are going to get a phony politician a la GWB or a person who stands by his campaign promises. Not that I haven't been pleasantly surprised- I sure as hell have! But I don't have blind loyalty to any any politician or any political party. Some of us are immune to political idolatry.
Tough crowd. Can’t wait to hear what you all have to say when Hillary goes.
Thanks for posting. I always enjoyed listening to him.
he didn’t seem to feel a need to stump all us dummies with big words which could send you scurrying off for a dictionary.
Funny. I am coming up on my 20th anniversary of being on this site. I remember quite well the argument leading up the Iraq War circa 2002. People back then who only questioned the wisdom of getting us into a long drawn out expensive war were routinely scoffed at and in some cases their accounts were banned from this site. I know...I was called every name in the book when I I only questioned the viability of the war and the dubious (now proven false) claims of WMD. 5 Trillion dollars later, with thousands of lives tragically ruined, those same people re-write history and now see themselves as conscientious opponents of the war. If you listen to commentators such as Laura Ingraham or Glennn Beck, you would think the opposed the war from the get go.
So before you slam a good man like Krauthammer, please name me one prominent conservative, other than Rand and Ron Paul who opposed the war. I know Trump was agnostic about the war back then, but I can only imagine what would have been said about him by some of the "patriots" in conservative circles circa 2002
Amen and thank you!
Agree 100%
I don’t understand all the worship of this guy’s politics?
