Fox News ^ | June 21, 2018 | Elizabeth Llorente

Charles Krauthammer, a longtime Fox News contributor, Pulitzer Prize winner, Harvard-trained psychiatrist and best-selling author who came to be known as the dean of conservative commentators, has died. He was 68.

His death had been expected after he wrote a heartbreaking letter to colleagues, friends and viewers on June 8 that said in part “I have been uncharacteristically silent these past ten months. I had thought that silence would soon be coming to an end, but I’m afraid I must tell you now that fate has decided on a different course for me…

““Recent tests have revealed that the cancer has returned. There was no sign of it as recently as a month ago, which means it is aggressive and spreading rapidly. My doctors tell me their best estimate is that I have only a few weeks left to live. This is the final verdict. My fight is over.”

Yep, the sc*mbags seem to always go on forever. Like Hillary, she seems to fall and break bones every week, even walking around like she’s wearing a body cast, yet somehow she’s still able to tour the globe non stop and bash the US and the POTUS.

If Jesus came back to earth tomorrow, the Christians would have no use for him, because they already know everything there is to know.

If Jesus comes back to earth tomorrow, I sure hope he doesn't say anything critical of Trump.

'Cos if he did, a number of Freepers would decide to give atheism a try.

Here is a very touching story about Dr. Krauthammer from Nash Jenkins, a reporter at Time Magazine, who’s probably a liberal:

I am certain Jesus is not coming back tomorrow. Take it day by day.

Thank you for posting that, Cymbaline.

What a heartbreaking but at the same time a heartwarming story that shows the true character of Charles Krauthammer.

The collective virtue and intellect of the planet sank today.

RIP Sir. You taught me a great deal.

Hopefully you crossed Jordan peacefully and your loved ones have place.

Respectfully

hate to hear that, didn’t always agree with everything he said, but respected his opinions. He’s whole now tho, doesn’t need that chair anymore...Prayers for his family at this devastating time.

Sorry this happened to him, but if he was the “dean of conservative commentators” then I don’t know what a “conservative” is. I think “conservative” has come to mean “conserve the status quo” which = “support the establishment” - exactly what we DON’T want.

May freedom-loving Patriots rise all over this country to take it back from the establishment and the Left.

Rest in Peace Charles.

You did bring many moonbats out of their nest to listen to you.

Your life was difficult but you made it look easy.
You had a large audience and came across very sincere on all topics.

I pray for understanding for your family.

Godspeed.

Like I posted earlier he was pro abortion, pro queer “marriage” and didn’t believe in God. I thought there were a lot of conservatives on FR. From the looks of this thread glorifying Trump hating social liberal Krauthammer I guess I was wrong, at least on this thread. Tell the truth about the man’s positions.

There’s only two places to go after death; you’ll either be in God’s presence for eternity or be deprived of same.

You are so right. Even Jesus couldn’t get away with it.

And I was wondering if anyone would speak up on hereabout Krauthammer’s sometimes critical view of Trump. Has there been any trashing of him yet for not heiling Trump?
