Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, in an exclusive interview airing at 1 p.m. Tuesday on Newsmax.com, discusses her staunch opposition to President Obama's healthcare plans and socialistic policies, and reveals new details about a possible presidential run in 2012. She also warns that allowing Iran to acquire nuclear weapons could "lead to Armageddon" that could lead to the deaths of millions in a third world war.
Palin's comments came as Newsmax launched a special series of online webcasts entitled "Make America Great Again" — a title taken from Ronald Reagan’s campaign slogan when he was elected president in 1980.

"We have to realize that, at the end of the day," Palin warns in the interview, "a nuclear weapon in that country's hands is not just Israel's problem or America's problem — it is the world's problem. It could lead to an Armageddon. It could lead to that World War III that could decimate so much of this planet."

She is a bright woman who can think on her feet. She has an unconventional way of speaking, and it appears sometimes that her thoughts are moving faster than her ability to verbalize, but she is definitely a bright person. Some on the left are getting this, I think, and realizing that its not so easy to just dismiss her as a lightweight like the media and established left have tried to do.
"They" are idiots who are going to lose so big on Nov 2nd. I can hardly wait! :-D
Thx for the ping.
Parenthetically, I was advised many years ago by a very practical type that I should never expect to receive any credit from anyone for correctly predicting the end of the world. :)
My dad told me something very similar decades ago. I grew up decades ago and realized that he was right. He wasn't as worried about the 'conventional enemies' of the time as he was of something like that happening.
The rats are very out of touch with the majority of Americans. Sarah understands America like Obama never will.
Palin Warns of ‘Armageddon, Third World War' in Exclusive Newsmax Broadcast
For a Christian, Armageddon is one specific end-times event. Sarah hasn't warned that Iran's procuring of nukes could lead to Armaggedon itself, but that it could lead to, and I quote, an Armageddon...or, as The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines it, "a usually vast decisive conflict or confrontation."
"We have to realize that, at the end of the day," Palin warns in the interview, "a nuclear weapon in that country's hands is not just Israel's problem or America's problem — it is the world's problem. It could lead to an Armageddon. It could lead to that World War III that could decimate so much of this planet."
Nerwsmax's omitting of the "an" in Palin's quote is sensationalizing what she has said, and cursory readings by leftist ignoramuses the world over will accuse Palin of prophesying about end-times events. Newsmax truly blows...it always has, and it will as long as people without the most basic of journalistic standards are running the joint.
NewsMax isn’t sloppy per say; they, like many other news organization uses and trade on Palin name as a money making, marketing and web hit boost....so putting Palin & Armageddon in the headline attracts supporters, people who disagree and just the curious
No, but they are sloppy per se.
Their articles have been documented for years here, by many, to be rife with inaccuracies.
In addition to their sloppiness, they engage in sensationalism. That's the nature of this headline, and I addressed the point in my comment.
Well put.
INDEED.
You think that will make any difference to those whackjobs?
We're talking straight up military invasion against a military that looks to be vastly more prepared than the Iraqi Army was, and I don't think we're in any shape to be fighting a third war.
However, anything else is just words. "How many divisions has the Pope?" comes to mind.
I remember those “duck and cover” drills in school. I’m still praying that our grandkids don’t have to go through that. (sigh)
You think that will make any difference to those whackjobs?
The point that I was inferring is that there are gradients to everything, including an unflinching, unblinking, iron-willed response to these despotic and dangerous regimes.
The first gradient step, is for a leader with real testicular fortitude to stand up in public and forcefully call them what they are. Congress, the military, and the people have to see that leader set the tone for subsequent actions of a concrete nature.
Foreign despots, seeing this resolve emanating from our leadership will then have to choose whether they're "feeling lucky", or whether it might just be in their best interest to cool their jets.
It all begins with the tone and mindset of real leadership. Sarah Palin obviously has that (even though she is not the president), and Obama's got bupkis. Maybe some waffles or ice cream he could share, but that's about it.
Nah, they’ll say she’s peddling Christian end of days hysterica with the word ‘Armageddon’.
Uh, that should be hysteria... coffee please!
But who would be there to give you the credit? If the world ends, there will be no posterity to praise your prophecy. You were expecting a statue? ;-)
