The passing of the brilliant Charles Krauthammer
The most brilliant man in our generation has passed. I0t feels like this is a bad moment in history as his replacement is nowhere to be found.
Dr. Charles Krauthammer, a key component of Special Report on Fox News for over a decade, has passed away leaving a deep void in the political debate that shapes our country.
He was brilliant, humble, funny, deeply philosophical, and even people who disagreed with him politically adored him.
He was a Pulitzer Prize winner who started out as a psychiatrist, He was paralyzed at 22 but he didn't let that stop him. Dr. Krauthammer correctly summed up our civic duty when he said "You betray your whole life if you don't say what you think and if you don't say it honestly and bluntly."
Dr. Krauthammer was the perfect example of Winston Churchill's brilliance when he said, "If you are not a liberal at 20 you have no heart and if you are not a conservative at 40 you have no brain."
Dr. Krauthammer entered politics as a Democrat but after seeing the brilliance of Ronald Reagan, he converted to be a Republican and became a staunch conservative that devastated liberals with his knowledge, logic, and speaking skills. Even liberals on Fox respected him.
Thank you, Dr. Krauthammer. We will miss you.
