'''Arnold Alois "Arnie" Schwarzenegger''' (b. [[Graz]]born July 30, [[Austria]] 1947) is an [[Austria]]n-[[United States of America|born American]] actor, former politician, former [[steroid]]-enhanced [[bodybuilding|bodybuilder]], film producer, and businessman, who . Schwarzenegger served as the 38th [[RINO]] [[Governor]] of [[California]] from 2003 to 2011. A [[Anti-Never Trump|Never-Trumper]], Schwarzenegger unsuccessfully replaced [[Donald President Trump]] on his reality show ''The Apprentice'', resulting in a ratings collapse of that the show's ratings. More recently Schwarzenegger has devoted himself to was an advocate of nonpartisan [[redistricting]].,<ref>https://www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/bill-whalen/article138898898.html</ref> and most recently has become a cheerleader for [[globalist]]'s so-called "[[climate change]]" (a name that Schwarzenegger wants to replace with something more alarming).<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/environment/2023/06/01/arnold-schwarzenegger-laments-no-one-gives-a-s-t-about-climate-change/</ref>

In complete disregard of the [[First Amendment]] rights of [[Trump]] supporters, Schwarzenegger absurdly compared the protests mostly peaceful political protest at the [[United States Capitol Building|Capitol]] on January 6th 6 to brutality by [[NaziGermany]] on [[GermanyKristallnacht]].<ref>https://news.yahoo.com/arnold-schwarzenegger-compares-capitol-riots-132443688.html</ref> Schwarzenegger's own father, Gustav Schwarzenegger, was himself a [[Nazi]]. Schwarzenegger has defended his father's Nazi affiliation, as well as his drunkenness and abuse, claiming this behavior was a result of the guilt and shame he faced, and that his father was lied to by the Nazi government. He also discussed these experiences in a statement concerning the [[Russia-Ukraine war]], which has senselessly wasted more than $50 billion of [[American]] money and many lives fighting [[Vladimir Putin]] and [[Russia]].<ref>https://variety.com/2022/politics/news/arnold-schwarzenegger-ukraine-russia-nazi-father-1235208273/</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/Schwarzenegger/status/1348249481284874240</ref> Schwarzenegger has also failed to stand up for [[election integrity]], and California has been completely taken over by [[liberal]]s rewriting election procedures there. '''''To his credit, Schwarzenegger does promote [[chess]] and has acted in several of the [[Essay:Greatest Conservative Movies|greatest conservative movies]]'''''. Dimwitted [[German]] authorities, perhaps mistaking Schwarzenegger for the [[Deep State]] nemesis [[Donald Trump]], charged Schwarzenegger with an absurd crime of not declaring in customs a watch that he had donated to a charity auction in [[Austria]] and merely happened to be traveling with it through a German airport. “He cooperated at every step even though it was an incompetent shakedown, a total comedy of errors that would make a very funny cop movie.”<ref>https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/arnold-schwarzenegger-luxury-watch-germany-criminal-proceedings-rcna134441</ref>

 Schwarzenegger rose to fame with action movies including Commando, Conan the Barbarian and the Terminator franchise. His on-screen presence was characterized by his large stature, as well as his thick Austrian accent.  He had success when he moved out of character into his starring role in the [[Christmas]] comedy "Jingle All the Way" (1996), which was a surprise box office hit. Once one of the highest paid actors in [[Hollywood]], Schwarzenegger has recently returned to acting, following the end of his term as Governor. 

 After sitting Governor [[Gray Davis]] mismanaged electric power deregulation and instituted a new registration tax by [[executive order]], infuriated citizens initiated a petition to place a measure on the ballot to remove him from office. Despite [[Democratic]] predictions that the petition would fail, it was delivered to then -Secretary of State Kevin Shelley with more than the required number of signatures. In accordance with the law, Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante became Acting Governor and called a special election for October 7, 2003.

Despite supposedly being a "[[Republican]]", he holds some mainly [[liberal]] views. He is a supporter of [[gun control]] and [[environmentalism]]. He is a staunch supporter of a law that mandates the use of Californian taxpayer money to fund [[stem cell research]] - which is the cloning and killing of human embryos for experimentation; he is also [[pro-abortion]]. Arnold officially approved an [[assisted suicide]] measure , allowing nurses to sedate, dehydrate and [[starve]] depressed or confused individuals they consider to be "[[terminally ill]]."<ref>[http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=76713 California approves nurse-assisted suicide] Worldnetdaily, October 02, 2008</ref> (Compare See [[euthanasia]]).) Governor Schwarzenegger also campaigned against the famous California [[Proposition 8]]. He married [[Maria Shriver]], a famous journalist who is a member of the historically liberal [[Kennedy Family]]. Because of these and other policies , he is often referred to as a "[[RINO]]," a "Republican in Name Only" , by many [[conservative]] real [[Republicans]]. Other sources have labeled him a "California Republican," , meaning that his political fiscal policies are conservative but his views on civil liberties lean to the culture are liberal side, reflecting the general attitude of most many Californians. During his time as governor, the debt of California continued to balloon, forcing the state to pay IOU's for a period in 2009. Due to the budget crisis's under his tenure, Republicans lost the state to Democrat Former Governor [[Jerry Brown]] in the 2010 Gubernatorial election. It seems that, overall, Schwarzenegger might be considered a borderline [[RINO]].{{citation needed}} ==See also==* [[List of Conservative or pro-Conservative Hollywood stars]]* [[Conservative media#Hollywood Conservatives|Hollywood conservatives]]* [[Essay:List of celebrities who support the Second Amendment]] * [[List of celebrities against Second Amendment]]
