Dunno about the politics, but I always liked how he appeared to not really take himself too seriously (see his list of films).

I still think one of his best film lines comes from Conan The Barbarian (for me the best realisation of R. E. Howard's mythic character - arnie is conan). When asked what are the best things in life, he replies "Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women." Simply marvellous.
that quote actually is more or less from Ghengis Khan, but there is no single definitive translation into the english from medieval mongolian, and the conan one is better than most
