The Question

Ok ok, we need the question addressed-- was he Jewish or part Jewish?. Yes, yes-- Catholic High School, Catholic Burial. But was he half Jewish, quarter Jewish? Is it so terrible to say he looked quite Jewish? (see here). Why my interest ? Well I happen to be both Jewish and Arab (among other things) and, yes, I've been at war with myself basically from adolescence on. So I'm just almost automatically interested in partial Jews in America... Note: I love discussing race and ethnicity, unlike anyone I know. I believe race/ethnicity determines much individual behavior, no matter how much well-meaning liberals wish it were otherwise (I salute them, really I do-- but truth comes first)... So was he part Jewish? JDG 15:34, 23 September 2006 (UTC) A paternal ancestor was Jewish. The family had long since converted to Roman Catholicism. Dr. Carl Austin Weiss was devout. He also was very upset by European fascist anti-semitism, especially after an encounter with Mussolini.[reply]

Photo?

Is there any reason why the photo of the late doctor was removed; copyright violation? Otherwise, it may be of benefit.



No

He was not. Ethnic Germans planted early on in the south. His middle name was Austin, about as common as a Jew named Keith. It is doubtfull that the Pavey family would have accepted his being Jewish. Kaltenborn

No, mister. The Pavey family was more concerned if he was rich or not. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.19.184.225 (talk) 22:57, 30 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Rotten Library

Has this information about Long: "Corrupt governor of Louisiana. Ran the state as his private fiefdom." This article makes him look like a pretty flower...

the other side

There are two sides to every story. Our government has always had an effective way of dealing with those who were proving themselves dangerous. The eastern establishment was not going to let a good old boy run anything beyond his own backyard...Thank You. Margaret Suckley-beauty of the North............
