Einstein did not develop the atomic bomb, and was not involved in the Manhattan Project. His equation E=mc2 explains the release of atomic energy. That’s the only way he was involved. But he is American in my book.
He grew up in a small village in Austria, created a seemingly outrageous goal for himself and did whatever it took to get there. He didn’t let anyone stifle him and created his own destiny. If that isn’t the embodiment of the American dream, I don’t know what is. That, if anything, should make him “American”.
American isn’t just a nationality, its an ideology; the idea of Freedom and prosperity through one’s own hard work is what makes up American. I don’t care if you’re born in the US, Austria, or even in the dunes of Baghdad; you are still an American if you work your way up from nothing to achieve your goals and represent the greatest country on Earth
it has gotten confused with entitlement lately. most kids go around thinking they are entitled to success it the truth is success c9ne from hard work and diligence and failure at every corner in the road. it’s those failures that you learn from and begin to achieve success. it is done one day at a time and no more. be the best you can be and strive to be the best at what ever you are doing every day.
My Mexican yard guy is a mojado but does a fantastic job, works his balls off, and doesn’t let anybody stifle his creativity. Yet he can’t get a drivers license. He loves this country, and works 10 hours a day to feed his family. Sure, he violated a law to get here, but he’s just as much hombre as The ExTerminator. Maybe more. Name me a fucking politician who has not broken a law to get where he or she is. Who’s an American? Is crossing the border worse than snorting a little coke or driving drunk? Or letting a bimbette suck yer froggie in the oval office?
BTW, Arnold’s cowboy boots all suck. But then he’s not a cowboy. Real cowboys wear custom made boots made by real cowboy custom boot makers. Arnold’s are probably lots of Lucchese and Ariat and other factory made boots. Lucchese’s were, at one time, handmade custom fitted boots. Now they are just another brand name marketed by a factory boot maker. They are just the same as Justins or Lamas or Ariats or the other brands that are just market names.
Most fraternity guys are not cowboys and some wear boots and tout Luccheses as being the tits, but they don’t know anything about boots. I don’t put them down, cuz they are reflecting what they know.
There will be some brothers here who do know about boots probably because they are real cowboys or real country boys. If you have never worn a custom made, made-to-measure boot, you have not lived.
So take Arnold with a grain of salt. He’s what he is, and more power to him, but he’s not the Big Daddy of all time. Many men prove themselves to be strong men daily and never get a nod for it. In fact, many of you will sneer at them and look down your nose at them because they don’t have wealth or status. But they are men. Real men, and they prove it every day with sweat and integrity. And, BTW, so do our military people.
So who deserves to be called an American? The “illegal” Mexican who enlists in the Marines and gets a leg blown off but then can’t get a fucking drivers license when he’s back here, and gets deported by the fucking Border Patrol because he’s not a citizen?
Being a Republican governor of a deep blue state is one of the biggest power moves I can think off.

11 years ago at 3:24 pmBeing an actor isn’t necessarily the opposite of California.

11 years ago at 3:38 pmHe’s Austrian…
11 years ago at 3:59 pmHe’s as much American as Pamela Anderson’s tits are.
11 years ago at 4:12 pmAlbert Einstein was born in Germany but won us WW2, I’d say he’s pretty damn American. Arnold’s in the same category bro
11 years ago at 4:19 pmDid you really put Einstein and Arnold in the same category? My God.
11 years ago at 6:01 pmDeveloping the atomic bomb that ended WWII is a TFM if I’ve ever seen one

11 years ago at 3:27 pmNEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRD!
11 years ago at 4:22 pmI only hope to grow up to be like him someday.
11 years ago at 4:04 pmPosting the same picture but from a different angle does not make it okay.
11 years ago at 4:28 pmHe isn’t an American, Jackass

11 years ago at 11:10 pmI’m sorry, I forgot when you are successful you automatically become an American? I realize he was successful but he is still Austrian
11 years ago at 5:26 pmYou’re an idiot.

11 years ago at 12:44 pmAss Buster, you just gave TFM a pretty good excuse to impose a character limit for comments
11 years ago at 4:41 pmSorry. My editor was off yesterday.
11 years ago at 11:17 pmHey shit spread, if you enlist in the military you automatically are granted citizenship at the end of initial training. You’re the worst.
11 years ago at 10:04 pmThese are mostly all tacky ass boots unless you’re a Mexican drug lord but nonetheless Arnold’s the fucking man.
11 years ago at 7:53 pmTerminator 2 is without question one of the greatest guy films of all time.
