You've most likely heard about [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]'s speech at the Republican Congress, where he said that he saw Soviet tanks on the streets and fled from a "Socialist" country. Well, first of all, Schwarzenegger was born in 1947, so was at most 8 years old when he saw those tanks. Then he lived in Graz. Well, the problem is that Graz (and all of Styria) wasn't in the Soviet zone, but British instead (see
here and
here), so this was definitely nothing he saw every day, but only possibly on some journey with his parents to Lower Austria, Vienna or whatever.
Oh, and when he went to the USA, he can't have fled from a "Socialist" country, since the [[de:ÖVP|ÖVP]] ruled during that time, as you can clearly see
here. Probably he only mixed up "social" with "socialist". But who cares, as long as he is the hero who fled from the Commies in Europe? Oh, before I forget it,
Graz does have a problem with Commies, and so does Bush.
