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.

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?

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.

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.

RIP Charles Krauthammer
One of the most vocal, eloquent and insightful critics of the Obama presidency.

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.

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.

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.

Atheist? Agnostic? Maybe, but he went to synagogue fairly regularly. This is a fact.

“Passing a law like the assault weapons ban is a symbolic – purely symbolic – move in that direction. Its only real justification is not to reduce crime but to desensitize the public to the regulation of weapons in preparation for their ultimate confiscation.”

The story begins after Winston Churchill was defeated in the election after the Second World War. He becomes leader of the opposition, and Attlee becomes the Prime Minister.

So, one day Churchill goes down to the men’s room in the House of Commons, and there standing alone at one of the urinals is Clement Atlee.

Churchill goes all the way to the other end of the men’s room, 15 stalls down... and Attlee is somewhat surprised. He looks over to Churchill, and he says, “Feeling a bit standoffish, are we Winston?” And Churchill says, “Not at all, my dear Clement. It’s just that every time you see something large, you want to nationalize it.”

---Charles Krauthammer
