Charles Krauthammer, Conservative Political Commentator, Dies at 68

quote [ Krauthammer was a champion of hawkish foreign policy and was known for supporting the war in Afghanistan as well as the invasion of Iraq under President George W. Bush.

However, he was not afraid to oppose President Donald Trump, refusing to vote for him and then calling him a “moral disgrace” for his reaction to the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville. ]

He was kind of a dick at times, but looks good compared to what passes for a conservative now.

Let's stop rewriting the people of the past based on the present they helped create, please.

:/ I often didn't agree with him, but his positions actually seemed like a genuine difference in opinion as opposed to coming from another universe.

Also, I always loved his last name.

68? I thought he was closer to 400.

yeah, I thought he was older, too.

One of the last of the thinking conservatives. George Will must be feeling awfully lonely right now.

Plus he always sounded like a WW2 superhero ( or villain if it was "hammer of the..." )
