Dr. Charles Krauthammer (March 13, 1950 – June 21, 2018) was a Harvard-trained psychiatrist[1] and Pulitzer prize winning columnist whose writings also appeared often in the Weekly Standard, the Washington Post, and Time. He was a conservative political analyst and author, as well as a regular contributor to the Fox News show Special Report with Brit Hume, along with Bill Kristol and Fred Barnes. In April 2009, Krauthammer won the 11th annual Eric Breindel Award for Excellence in Journalism for depicting "love of country and its democratic institutions."[2]

A tremendous inspiration to all, Krauthammer was permanently paralyzed from the neck down in a tragic diving accident while he was a student, and yet overcame it with determination, hard work, and wonderful attitude about life.

In an editorial in the magazine Commentary, Krauthammer wrote that neoconservativism "is the maturation of a governing ideology whose time has come." The original "fathers of neoconservatism" were "former liberals or leftists." More recently, they were joined by "realists, newly mugged by reality," such as Condoleezza Rice, Richard Cheney and George W. Bush, who "have given weight to neoconservatism, making it more diverse and, given the newcomers' past experience, more mature."[3]

Charles Krauthammer has also written several editorials criticizing intelligent design.[4]

Krauthammer died on June 21, 2018, due to cancer, a few weeks after announcing he did not have much longer to live.[5][6][7]

Quotes

From his column Nixon On the Couch in the Washington Post (October 15, 1999):

“ I don't really care what a public figure thinks. I care about what he does. Let God probe his inner heart.

Obsession with self is the motif of our time.

”

Baseball fan

Dr. Krauthammer was an avid baseball fan, who attended many games in Washington, D.C. and was honored by its Nationals team when he passed away.[8]
