Some people die with bravery grace and dignity while others live with none of those attributes.
This truth was on full display Friday when
Washington Post columnist and Fox News star Charles Krauthammer announced to the world what Id heard in whispers for a couple of weeks he was dying he only has a few weeks left to live. The outpouring of love and admiration that followed was no doubt comforting for him and his family in this awful time.
But
as has become all too common in the social media age some liberals couldnt let a day or even an hour pass with them simply acting like normal decent human beings or at least confining their vile nature to their heads and small circle of troll-like friends. Not one hour.
Liberal writer Barrett Brown took the opportunity to plug an anti-Krauthammer piece hed written in Vanity Fair back in 2009 because he thought the world needed to know.
On Twitter he added Heres a summary I wrote for Vanity Fair of Krauthammers ongoing failure from 1998 on to get a single thing right about the subject on which he was inexplicably deemed an expert". His impending death will make the world a safer more competent place."
Brown then went on a justification spree with each excuse more pathetic than the last. People confident in their actions arent compelled to explain them to strangers pointing out how inhuman they were.
Not to be outdone human dumpster fire Oliver Willis who writes for something called Share Blue (which reads like the modern English language version of Der Strmer) went on a tweet storm complaining death doesnt (sic) make a very bad guy a good guy."
Share Blue was founded by the same person who founded Media Matters Olivers previous employer
alleged cocaine aficionado David Brock. That means he does this for a living and outside of fascistic progressive fever dream factories hes otherwise unemployable.
A Google search for Oliver Willis married" returned a question from the search engine asking if I was joking. This leads to the conclusion there is likely no evidence there is anyone who cares for him and
his responses to people repeatedly pointing out the inhumanity of his comments show that suspicion is justified.
This dance on the suffering of others is common on the political left its their currency like cigarettes in prison or turquoise at an Elizabeth Warren family reunion.
A normal person would look at this morbid celebration and be repulsed so its not about gaining new recruits to their cause. No a lot of what liberals do these days is designed to preach to the choir; to keep their voters in line angry and afraid to prevent straying or worse for them indifference. Indifferent liberals dont show up to vote angry and frightened voters do. I detail
this and their tactics in my book and something everyone conservative needs to be able to identify if were going to defeat it.
These two men will not be remembered when they pass few will take note. They and their ilk offer nothing to the world but bile and resentment. Krauthammer will have his writings studied and will inspire thought and action in others for generations to come. Thats why he had to be smeared to turn the unsuspecting Democratic Party voter off from even considering learning more about him and why people whove never met him care.
And we do care. Not because hes a conservative or because a he says things weve always thought in a way we only wish we could but because hes a human being going through something terrifying.
In his farewell letter
Krauthammer ended by writing I leave this life with no regrets. It was a wonderful life full and complete with the great loves and great endeavors that make it worth living. I am sad to leave but I leave with the knowledge that I lived the life that I intended."
At the end of his life Charles Krauthammer will leave this world with the grace and dignity few of us could show even on our best day. Its a shame that many on the other team dont have a best day in them or even a decent one.
