Charley Reese (1937–2013) was an American journalist and syndicated columnist known for his conservative views and sharp political commentary. His writing, often direct and uncompromising, focused on government accountability, personal responsibility, and libertarian principles.
Born in Washington, Georgia, Reese began his journalism career in the 1950s, working for various newspapers before joining the Orlando Sentinel (1971.) He became a prominent voice in American media, writing a widely read column three times a week until retiring in 2001. Syndicated by King Features, his columns critiqued government inefficiency, taxation, and foreign policy, often challenging mainstream political narratives.
His widely cited piece, The 545 People Responsible for All of America’s Woes (1984,) remains a reference in discussions on government accountability. Reese also contributed to libertarian platforms such as LewRockwell.com and Antiwar.com, advocating non-interventionist foreign policy and individual freedoms.
