The Quebec TV Interview: “La droite étasunienne selon Pamela Geller”

I lived in Quebec for most of my life (as an anglophone; the English-speaking minority) but I can’t say I’ve ever heard of the adjective “étasunienne” before. Translated straight, it’s like saying “United-States-ian”.

Pamela, you are a FANTASTIC spokesman for the right!!!
This interview should be shown 24/7/365.25 – please leave it up on the site.

Pam,
I hope you are ready to clean leftist brains off your blog because when they watch this their heads will explode. You were great, he however is quite the tool.

Pamela, I loved your interview. You were focused, informed, precise. I loved it!
There is one point, though, with which I agree with M. Martineau. There are thuousands, if not millions, of people who agree with you: your position about the cursed mosque, the danger not only our country, but also the Western civilization is facing,the need to defend Israel and prevent the empowering of Iran. But so many of these people cannot bring themselves to side with you because of extreme position on issues that even though you may be right about, you portray them in such extreme ways that it is difficult not to look at your position with hesitation.
I understand your need not to compromise; I agree with you a 100%. But there are certain nuances in words that even though of similar meaning, their selective use can have a different impact. Let’s say leftist or communist; in my head I use them indistinctly, but I’m quite aware that using the latter will have a much stronger and negative impact than when using the former. I’m nos compromising my ideological beliefs when I use leftist. I’m just trying to benefit from the fact that selecting that word rather than communist will open more doors to reach my audience.
Let’s look at Sarah Palin. The fact that Obama and Pelosi are not qualified for the positions they occupy does not make Palin more qualified for President or even VP.
M. Martineau was also right when he said that there is no dialogue between left and right because they are both reciting dogma and are unable to exchange ideas.
But I admire you and visit your blog more than once a day, even though I believe that should you try to discard part of the political discourse you could have a much stronger impact on your mission of opening minds to the dangers we are facing.
And what’d you know? Even Bill Maher is seeing the light! Keep your good work by alerting the world of what the green snakes in the grass are truly after throughout the world!

It galled me how he derided Palin and held Obama to a different standard. She has shown her transcripts, he never attended class and had degrees purchased for him. She is a natural born Citizen, he is a foreigner, an installed usurper, an espionage agent. She is pro-American, he hates American to her core.
And as far as brains go…let’s remember Obama’s famous quotes, such as ‘the president of canada’, ‘austrians speak austrian’, ‘my uncle saved auschwitz’, ‘the great lakes in oregon’, ‘the oreo(cookie)n constellation’, ‘the country of europe’, ‘america is a muslim country’, in Virginia at a country store he asked what an object was and was told “that’s a ball hitch cover” and obama said, “what’s a ball hitch?” idiot… oh and ‘my father was in world war 2’,
‘the bomb that fell on pearl harbor’, ‘I bowled like special olympics’, ‘corpseman’, ‘let me be clear, israel is a strong friend of israel’s’, ‘we are resolved to halt the rise of privacy in that region’, ‘we will bring greater choice and inefficiencies to our healthcare system’, ‘life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, in france, liberte, absolutely’, ‘cinco de quatro’, ’57 states’, ‘10,000 people died in kansas tornado’
ETC.
This interviewer actually thought Tina Fey’s line was Palin’s? Wow. Mon dieu.

Wow, that was great to watch. I clung onto your every word and eager for more. A breath of fresh air, loved it. More air time for Pam please. (btw you looked gorgeous as usual – non-lesbo remark 🙂 )

pamela:
these kinds of pieces educate on how to deal with the left. please keep posting these interviews.

Pamela you didn’t give this frenchie an inch, you superbly handled all of his attacks and best of all you live and breathe your ‘individualist’ (Ayn Rand inspired) philosophy.
Great criticism of the Conservatives, it’s true the left almost always rally behind their kind no matter how wretched he/she might be (think of that traitor John Kerry), while the right let their own twist in the wind.
Thoroughly enjoyable interview, it’s too bad you didn’t have time to get into Islam or expand on why Obama is so dangerous.
I will differ with you on Sarah Palin, she’d be almost as bad as Obama, even though her heart is in the right place, she doesn’t have the fortitude or depth of wisdom for leadership and she’s too easily seduced by the limelight.
We need real leadership in 2012, John Bolton, Rudy Giuliani, Rick Santorum or my personal favorite-though he probably won’t run-Allen West.
There is really only 1 issue that matters for me in the next election cycle-Islam, whoever understands it and is willing to take the gloves off and deal with it the way we dealt with Nazism, would get my vote. One man I admire who took this threat seriously and with great understanding was Dick Cheney, we need someone like him, before it’s too late.

Quebec is about as socialist as it gets. Most of the money they use to pay for their Utopia comes from Working Canadians. Mean while this Province holds the rest of the Country in contempt. I found it amusing about him defending the health care system when his own supreme Court in Quebec called it a disaster & illegal.
In fact murderous for seriously sick people.

You always provide comedic relief to the very serious topics discussed hear. I literally laugh out loud.
Kudos on keeping your composure with that self-centered obnoxious d-bag.

Please be aware that a Marxist Communist will only use Socialism as a step PRIOR TO communism. Socialism for them is just a necessary stage, like Capitalism. Communism is not socialism, it is far worse and has various important distinctions. Socialism usually implies democratic underpinnnings and a central government. Communism is not democratic in the liberal sense (liberal as into the original use of the term) and there is meant to be no real central government, a total absence of private property.
As a side note it seems Obama was moving your country towards a French system of Healthcare, NOT a socialist British version of healthcare. Just to add some prospective, though Palin was right about the Death Panels. One might consider the French system better than the British because though the British is free for all forever, the french (a mixed healthcare system) appears to provide superior health and care.

That was excellent apart from suggesting Fox is center-left – absolute nonsense, an opinion you should drop. Most of Fox New’s reporting is balanced but limited in content – cheap, just the facts (how news should be maybe). But a great deal of Fox is Opinion Shows where the presenters are openly conservative and right wing. How absurd – insane – of Pam to suggest it is center-left. Otherwise she is amazing.

I agree with Pamela: Fox is positioned as center left. I wish there would be more conservative advocates for the rights of individual. as the good example of Fox’s left inclination are Bill Oralie and total fake – Giraldo Rivera whom Fox gave huge amount of the air-time. Those two politically super correct individuals are shifting position of Fox from the middle of political affiliation scale to the center left. So, do you like it or not Pamella was right.

oh, and to complicate matters, LIBERALS (in the 60’s hippy style American definition) are individualistic and ‘libertarian’ as well – when it suits them. Drugs, letting kids f*ck at 14. That’s individualism.

let’s pretend Geraldo is a leftist – and thus is calling for various degrees of
Massed socialism
Higher corporate taxes
Less money on defence
Gun control
Free abortion for all
Higher taxes for most but the poor
More government control of businesses and ‘the means of production’
MASSED welfare
– which is a reasonably leftist position but you can get more extreme without hitting a ‘communist’ position.
One person against most Fox News presenters who clearly believe in little of the above (I think almost ALL of use believe in small degrees of socialism to give the poor a helping hand, so don’t go there), Glenn Beck is lost in his own right-wing world with his high-rating slot? I have watched a good deal of O’Reily and Hannity as they are on in my timezone and how you can mistake O’Riely for a leftist is beyond a joke. He may take ill positions here and there, so what? As if everyone has to be the same. If you think he is left wing you’re on another planet and need to have a reality check and see REAL centre-leftists – LIKE Tony Blair. Then see REAL lefists – like half of his party, then see REAL SOCIALISTS like the back-benchers of his party.
Some of you really have NO idea about politics at all and just blurt out crap to rig the political spectrum your way so you can label moderate liberals ‘extreme’ and SOMEHOW reasonably right-wing tv presenters as ‘centre left’. Do you know how insane and dishonest that is? And how stupid it makes you look. Fox News – in its opinion areas ‘ “rigs” its ‘expert’ pannels to have a predominantly conservative view. CNN, BBC, ABC etc do the same but in the opposite direction, so that’s not a criticism of Fox.
I mean there are probably some of you THICK enough to think the war on terror is a left/right issue and if someone isn’t fighting against Islam he’s not right wing somehow?

Martineau is a dumbass. Take it from a real Quebecker 🙂

Can’t begin to tell you what a great job you did confronting pure, unadulterated, arrogant stupidity.

Pamela is right about Fox, they are center Left. Investors Business Daily posted the campaign contributions of all media outlets and Fox Corp gave 10x more to Dems, than Republicans.

Bravo Pamela , Excellente entrevue ! Thanks for posted this ….you handled him well . The left are so smug in their supposedly (in their minds) superior virtue (Melanie Phillips expounds on this so well) . I am from and also live in Québec . Socialism is deeply ingrained in this province . Socialism is a form of communism (they have the same root ) and eventually in a Fabian way can (or will ? ) lead to totalitarianism .

I’ve lived in Quebec City most of my life, and still do.
I didn’t read all the comments on this page, but I tend to agree with much of what “Puzzled” said (“Pamela, I loved your interview. […] There is one point, though, with which I agree with M. Martineau. […] there are certain nuances in words that even though of similar meaning, their selective use can have a different impact.)
Keep up the good work, but don’t rule out continuing to reach out to the “Leftists”. God wants to save them too, and most of them will listen, given an effort to see things from their point of view.
Cheers!

Martineau is actually more on the right side of the spectrum, and an opponent of Islamic Supremacist. You would know that if you had learned French. 😉
But please let’s not throw insult about each of our own duality (English Canada / Québec), it’s not polite to do that outside our house.
This is why, like Mark Steyn (remember his famous “I’m with Quebec article”), I so much prefer being with my fellow Americans.
From your French neighbourgh,
Sobieski
ps: Thank you for the Oil

How rude. She was positively gorgeous. How would you like it if I said something like that about your mother, sister, or daughter?

Calls names and interrupts. That’s a leftie.

Now when you read all the responses to your gibberish nonsense I am glad that you showed your natural liberal colors idiot. Get up from your night vase and listen what adults are saying.

and by the way, for you uneducated Poosh: on the subject of individualism. Hippies were far from being individualists, they were the most collectivized creatures (just read about Woodstock). Very close to the socialists (no wonder that plenty of them became mentors of hussein obama). When you grow up, take a book by name “Atlas Shrugs” an spend 1/2 year reading it (although with your intellectual capability it might not be enough). Maybe you will finally understand what “individualism” is all about.
Meanwhile get back to your 3-rd grade, imbecile.
