He sounded non-religious to me, but no one can speak for what he believes today.

He IS, it ain "was" just yet, very committed to his faith. As well as very committed to his practice as a Psychiatrist MD., Harvard Med., then found his way to DC as a Psychiatrist before he started writing.

Sorry, folks. This guy, like a handful of others prior and pending, is a true national treasure.

I didn't always agree with him, nor did I with Buckley, H.W., Friedman, L. King, or Russert, but they sure as hell added to the discussion.

We've lost that art, of disagreeing without being disagreeable, and it's a shame. We're now in the streets with stick cuz... We don't listen anymore.
Locked in to the gadgets, only getting the info we wanna get, shutting out anything that may make someone pause and say "Hummmm".

Thing is, we're all better than that. I've been around so many blocks I can't count them anymore. Most of us have, if one takes the time to look back.

How many people in our lives have we actually "hated"? I could count them on 2 fingers. Disliked? Had NO use for? Cut ties? Probably in the hundreds, but now we HATE!

It's rather frightening and seems to be closing in on the use of arms.

I fear for my children's country.

Agreed. And we know that those who hate others do not have Christ in them, but are of the world. This ties right into a passage I was reading last night.:

1 John 4:4-6
4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us;.......



1 John 4:20
20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.



That is a powerful statement there in verse 20 that should make all Christians take a hard look inside themselves.

We are speaking of two different things here. You are talking about modern man's worldly definition, I am talking about how the Lord God and the Bible see's it.

There is a very simple way to clarify this accord to the Word of God, just ask the Apostle Paul if He stopped being an Israelite once he believed in Christ as His Messiah:

Romans 11:1
I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

I never want to hear of anyone in poor health, but this man never struck me as "brilliant". He might have been wrong on his predictions more often than anyone other than Bill Kristol.

Post of the month. I honestly have no one in my life who I hate. It's wasted energy that ends up doing more (internal) harm to the hater than the hated. There are several who I dislike muchly tho but I don't waste energy thinking about them.

Regardless of where Charles stood on our President, he will be missed. From what I have read, he seems to have accepted his fate and just wants to enjoy the last few weeks of his life. His terminal prognosis makes me hate cancer that much more. When will we ever find a cure for cancer???

Well stated. You need two fingers more than I do. But we are probably about equal on cutting ties.

I agree that we are losing the ability to disagree without being disagreeable, and that is both sad and frightening.

What do you mean always “wrong”? How often is an opinion “wrong”? He’s a political thinker and commentator on the world in front of him, not Nostradamus.

Not sure how much of his work you’ve actually read. He has/had a unique talent in his observing and commentary on the American, and human condition.

Not sure how that can be “wrong”. Did he not predict a Trump win or something?

Regardless of politics, IMO, he always seemed the most calm and intellectual of the commentators, at least when I saw him. Life sucks sometimes, and this is one of those times.

I always looked forward to his take on things and have really missed that as of late.

He worked for the Washington Post, it's no wonder he held those views. Guess who else worked for the WaPo? Juan Williams, man that man is screwy. Like I've said, if it's unethical, illegal and immoral they (Liberals) are for it.

Krauthammer is neo-con to the core, not liberal.

Yep and he doesnt like Trump. His story of overcoming adversity should make most people feel like underchievers. Extremely smart guy. It always made me nervous about my own views when I disagreed with his views.

that was always my take with Chuck.....he definitely wasn't the average bear....

like my father, when he spoke, I listened.....

that was always good enough for me....

It is impossible for a free society to make informed decisions in the absence of accurate and articulate points of view from all of the various perspectives. To wish to silence any of them is to destroy freedom. This is intention of those who continue to try to polarize the electorate. They seek to destroy freedom by limiting information to just one extreme view or the other. Krauthammer was not one of them.

Good post. Here's a similar snippet from "reliable" conservative Derek Hunter:

"At the end of his life, Charles Krauthammer will leave this world with the grace and dignity few of us could show, even on our best day. It’s a shame that many ... don’t have a best day in them, or even a decent one."

[The ellipses contained in the above quote is mine. The omitted clause is "on the other team". I removed it because the suggestion that narrow and inconsiderate ideological thinking is peculiar to the left pretty much undercuts the point of what he just wrote.]
