I think they cut a bit out of the show, or Marina’s time was limited’. We don’t have a holiday on dec. 5, But for the rest of it you are right.
Sinterklaas, is not the same person as Santa Claus. He was here first.
As the tail goes he comes from Spain and his helpers are called zwarte Pieten.
On the day before his birthday 5 December he gives presents to the children (pakjesavond).
In America he transformed (nice hint that X-man shot) into a new character. Kept the name, but changed the: outfit, date, place of origin, means of transportation and the helpers.

And St Nicklaas originally is based on a Turkish bishop

You have yet to address Bill’s intellect and lack of critical faculties. And my previous post contains none of said fallacies.

Farewell sir; I wish you well.

You are a liberal, or a socialist, or someone who is on the fringe of thought. The mask worn by that philosophy is always tolerance. That mindset tolerates everything except dissent. Tolerance is relevant to illustrate hypocrisy.

Your childish retort includes the fallacies of over- generalizations, ad hominem attack, and making up my position to construct a strawman. Hmmm, just what you accused me of. Not very original or insightful on your part.

Moreover, you make a claim about O’Reilly, regarding his understanding “the functions of the universe” that is unsubstantiated, except in your mind, and quite meaningless. I am sure that someone as bright as O’Reilly understands basic science regarding the “universe.”

Your foul mouth further reveals the paucity of your intellect, and the continued name-calling proves my earlier point. All your kind can do is ultimately call everyone they oppose some form of: “stupid.” It’s all you have in your immature arsenal and you keep proving it.

Your core anger is very apparent and so close to the surface. It is sad to witness. As I said before, you need to mature, so grow up already.

What a beautiful example of Whiteknighting. Who ever said I was tolerant? And how does it have any relevance??? Lets see, your argument includes the following fallacies: over generalizations, ad hominem, flat out making up your opponents position to construct strawmen on top of them, and producing a false dichotomy between you and wtf everything else you probably think is evil(Stalinist; O’rly?).

Does any of this change the fact that O’Reilly fails to understand fundamental realities of the functions of the universe? Stawman arguments can’t make up for stupidity; in fact they serve only to exemplify the inanity of their proponents.

The spelling was intentional because it is, in fact, fake news. By the way, it’s Webcorruptor not Webcorrupter. Saint Nicholas day is generally celebrated on December 5th or 6th depending which country it is. I think one is the day he was born and the other is when he died. It is supposed to be celebrated in Germanic countries for the most part. So, It would make sense for “SinterKlaas” to be based on him as Marina says in the video.

That’s a good point about people from Communist countries being conservative. Until recently the conservative movement has been the place for people who want less government and more freedom. From what I understand the Cuban community in Florida is a big conservative voting block. Also, my favorite author, Ayn Rand, was from the USSR. It must really suck to leave a country like that only to have everyone in the new country expect you to agree with the morons running the place you left in the first place. I’ve heard stories about people from the USA going to England and having people want to argue with them over the war in Iraq and Bush’s policies when most of the country disagrees with both, and Bush had a record low approval rating. I don’t know if Marina has said anything to indicate what her politics are, and I don’t blame her. People take politics very personally. I don’t think it makes sense to assume that she is either conservative or liberal by appearing on the O’Reilly Factor. It’s television and she isn’t discussing anything political on it. So, it’s a good way to get publicity for her calendar, youtube channel, and website. It could easily be nothing more than that. In honor of Bill O’Reilly though, I am going to request the word “falafel” which is one of the first things I’m sure he thinks of when he sees Marina along with soap suds. Hopefully, that will help everyone to remember his sex harrassment scandal a while ago and remind them that he is disgusting.

Good comment, webcorruptor. :smile: Yet Conservative news, Opinion, and Commentary never claims to be balanced. The whole point is to present a conservative viewpoint. The mainstream media, as you point out, is overwhelmingly liberal and leftarded, but they conceal and deny this fact while pretending, (a euphemism for ‘lying’) to be fair and balanced. The “fair and balanced” news coverage of Obama was the first time the mask was openly removed from the biased media.

I don’t care where Marina appears, I’m just glad to see her and learn the latest. We live in an Orwellian age in which ‘stimulus package’ means ‘enormous debt for generations to come’ and ‘fairness doctrine’ means ‘silence opposing views’.

In such a world as this we need our dear Hot For Words teacher, to keep us on track and accurate in our use of words.

And for the others here who object to her for her association with the Right, most of the foreign born people I know who came from Communist countries, such as Russia, Ukraine, Cuba, China, Viet Nam, etc., are conservative because they understand first-hand, (not liberal college social theory, but first-hand,) what it is truly like to live in a left-wing world. That’s why they come here!

The Dutch have a holiday on the 5th of November (or december.. Forgot which) that’s called “SinterKlaas.”
Sinterklaas is a man who came from spain on the first of november to bring gifts. He traveled the Netherlands until the 5th of november, and then went back to spain. He has helpers called “Zwarte Pieten” litteraly “Black Petes” who are comparable to Santa’s elves. The black petes however follow sinterklaas around the netherlands to help him and to throw “Pepernoten” at the crowds of children. Pepernoten are small biscuits or cookies that taste similar to “Speculaas” which are in turn similar to Gingerbread. Sinterklaas also has a horse called “Amerigo” and carries a staff similar to that of a bishop.

I don’t know why I’m telling you all this, but I suppose it is cool to know albeit a bit late for christmas.

by the way: Webcorrupter – the channel is Fox news not faux news. Faux pronounced like “foe” is a french word meaning fake. The fur coats hotforwords mentioned are faux fur – fake fur.

I wonder where [faux] comes from other than french…
