Charles Krauthammer In Dire Straits!

Charles Krauthammer announced he is immediately retiring from writing. He said that he has terminal cancer and it will cost him his life.
"This is the final verdict. My fight is over. I am grateful to have played a small role in the conversations that have helped guide this extraordinary nation's destiny."

Washington Post and Fox News commentator Charles Krauthammer announced that he is retiring from columns. He said that he only have a few weeks left in his life. He announced he has terminal cancer and he will eventually pass away. He also wrote for The New Republic, Time Magazine and Inside Washington. He was considered the gold standard of conservative politics.

The famed conservative columnist is best known for strive through adversity. He was born in New York City by an Ukrainian father and Belgium mother. His family moved to Montreal, Quebec and Krauthammer would take classes on arts, economics, politics and was an avid swimmer. He is a certified psychologist.

He injured himself after taking dive into a pool. He was paralyzed from the neck down.

He never allowed his disability stop him from being an accomplished writer.

Krauthammer isn't a blowhard like fellow noisemakers Rush Limbaugh, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Mark Levin. He was an honorable person. He would argue without the name calling and hateful rhetoric.

He was a hawkish on foreign policy and staunch defender of Israel. He was a supporter of embryonic stem research, marijuana and opposed the death penalty.

Krauthammer was a strong supporter of Bush's war in Iraq. He regrets it now knowing that the way this went down was wrong. He was a neoconservative on many issues. He even coined the phrase, the "Reagan Doctrine."

The doctrine was Ronald Reagan's aggressive push to counter the Soviet Union.

Krauthammer was a critic of Barack Obama. He called himself the "central conservative voice" against a newly elected Obama administration. Krauthammer served as "a coherent, sophisticated and implacable critic of the new president."

He respected the Obama legacy more now. Donald J. Trump, our commander of cheese is destroying the United States and its reputation in the world. He has done far more damage in his short term as our inept leader.

Trump angered many conservatives with the rhetoric. Krauthammer, George Will, Erick Erickson and Glenn Beck never supported Trump. They claimed that Trump will damage Republicans and conservatism.

Upon news of his demise, many from the left and right offered their usual phony thoughts and prayers.

Krauthammer is married to his wife Robyn and they have a son named Daniel.
