Jeremiah “Jasper” Thompson

A little background on myself. My name is Eric Davis, Jasper is my 3rd Great Grandfather, who I honor as my profile. I started my historical journey with no bias on a quest to find out the truth concerning the war. My interest was peaked as I worked on my genealogy. I was a screw up in high school and I couldn’t have cared less about history, or any subject for that matter. The history bug hit me later in life. I chose a blue collar career and I served my community for 28 years. For the last 15 years or so, I have studied the antebellum era and that alone. The reason most of you oppose the South is because you concentrate on slavery alone. You feel as though nothing else matters besides ending it at any cost. But the cost was heavy, especially when ending slavery was not for the wellbeing of slaves but as a means to destroy the political and economic enemy. Lincoln’s war affectively perverted the Constitution and changed the character of the government framed by our founders. This is why I support Confederate principles. It has nothing to do with slavery or race, as that isn’t what motivated Lincoln to invade the South. I support the Confederate cause because they supported the Constitution as ratified by the states.

"If the Union was formed by the accession of States then the Union may be dissolved by the secession of States."  ~ Sen. Daniel Webster Massachusetts, US Senate, Feb 15, 1833

@conallo They can if those laws are unconstitutional.

@jjfThompson States also don’t have the right to nullify federal laws. That was decided in the Constitution

“I appeal” says President Lincoln, “to all loyal citizens to favor, facilitate, and aid this effort to maintain the honor, the integrity, and the existence of our national Union.” The Confederate States refused thus "to favor, facilitate, and aid this effort to maintain the honor, the integrity, and the existence of a national Union." They not only refused to aid, but they took up arms to defeat the consummation of such a monstrous usurpation of popular rights and popular sovereignty. It was evident that, if no efforts for a rescue were made, the time would soon come when the rights of all the States might be denied, and the hope of mankind in constitutional freedom be for ever lost. This was the usurpation. This lay at the foundation of the war. Every subsequent act of the Government was another step in the same direction, all tending palpably to supremacy for the Government of the United States, the subjugation of the States, and the submission of the people. ~ Jefferson Davis, The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government, Vol. 2.

Wrong. The constitution does not give us those rights, we already have them. The constitution says that the federal government can not infringe upon those rights. Our rights aren’t listed, they are protected. The 9th and 10th Amendments state that not every right is mentioned, and those that aren’t are matters left to the respective states. The constitution doesn’t tell states what they can do, it is a restraining order on the central government.

@jjfThompson Where does it say anywhere in the Constitution that states have the right to secede. We have the right speech, petition, worship, guns, even due process. But no right to secede

@conallo Prove it.

@jjfThompson Nope. 10th amendment does NOT apply to secession.

@conallo He opposed it. He was wrong. I don’t care what anyone “thought” or “thinks” about it. I care what the constitution says about it. The constitution is silent on secession, therefore, the 10th Amendment applies and it is a State decision.

@jjfThompson Of course there were 3 who dissented. You know very few cases all justices find 100% agreement. I told you earlier the was no Constitutional provision for secession one way or the other. Here’s a question, what was Andrew Jackson’s opinion about secession?

@inarchus @Needlesmasher @NavaYael3 @KimDotcom @ky_statesman No country was established based solely on religion. Israel is the only one.

@jjfThompson @Needlesmasher @NavaYael3 @KimDotcom @ky_statesman Except the countries who are formally Christian, and the ones which are formally Muslim (57). Just turns out there is one country where Judaism is adopted as the faith.

3 hour poll. Do you want the Jews kicked out of America?

@inarchus @Needlesmasher @NavaYael3 @KimDotcom @ky_statesman No religious group has a country set aside for them based on such. Except Israel.

@jjfThompson @Needlesmasher @NavaYael3 @KimDotcom @ky_statesman No, you're not calling this out because of some deep belief you have in the difference between a "Right of a Nation" and a "Right of a Person." None of your other messages are vaguely interested in this distinction.

@inarchus @KimDotcom @ky_statesman Of course you will say that.

@jjfThompson @KimDotcom @ky_statesman Many including me. I don't know who that Rabbi is, and I don't agree, I think most Jews would disagree. There are always people like that in every group but the whole point of being reasonable is to filter them out. Obviously you just want to say he represents all Jews.

I asked you a rhetorical question. I’m quite familiar with the case and have studied it extensively. I’ll answer it for you. There is no constitutional evidence to support it. Chase basically used the “more perfect Union” argument, which makes no sense. What choice did they have? There is no way they were going to undo what the war supposedly settled. Chase simply asserted a “perpetual and indissoluble Union” without producing any legal justification or documented support. By the way, Chase had presidential aspirations and there was extreme pressure on the justices to tune in favor of the victor. What’s astounding is that there were 3 dissents, knowing how monumental this diversion could be.

@jjfThompson I would have to post the entire Texas v White transcripts. Not enough space here. Plus you do realize that that is LITERALLY SCOTUS’ job….to determine constitutionality.

@NoContextHumans This is the only way to settle it.

Should leg kicks be allowed in a street fight?🤔🦵

@conallo Post the constitutional evidence used to justify the ruling in Texas vs White.

@jjfThompson Actually no. The reasons do not outweigh any perceived right. There is no Constitutional provision or amendments that specifically bans or allows it, but the SCOTUS 1869 did call secession unconstitutional.

@Needlesmasher @NavaYael3 @inarchus @KimDotcom @ky_statesman Which is exactly what is happening in Gaza. I’m not a Palestinian supporter, I’m just calling it what it is.

@NavaYael3 @jjfThompson @inarchus @KimDotcom @ky_statesman People have rights, nations don't. When you invert that, you end up justifying things like genocide.

“Goyim were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world; only to serve the people of Israel” “Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi [lord and master] and eat.” ~ Israeli Sephardic leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef Many will say that was just an old man saying things that most Jews don’t agree with. This is not true as the Zionists and Jewish elite, certainly think this.

@jjfThompson @KimDotcom @ky_statesman There is no hierarchy of people like that in Judaism. This is like saying that English has a word for foreigner means that all foreigners are inherently subhuman. It doesn't follow. Here's a real question, do you actually know a Jewish person?

@RoberdeauWheat @ImBreckWorsham @timmer42899 Wow, so true.

@jjfThompson @ImBreckWorsham @timmer42899

I miss the OLD crazy kind of Trump. Mean tweets. Low gas prices. Affordable real estate. My 401K soaring. No new wars. What happened to that guy?

@csa_appreciator I think the north would have done fine. We could have coexisted as strong allies. Both countries could still work together in agriculture and industry.

If the South had won the War, the North would have eventually collapsed.

@conallo What constitutional law prevented them from leaving? The reason for secession does not outweigh the right.

@jjfThompson The 1860 was a highly sectional election on both sides, but it was still a legitimate election. Lincoln won, and the South simply didn’t like it so they wanted to take their ball and go home. Did they fell threatened? Doesn’t matter. They had their chance and lost

@NavaYael3 @inarchus @KimDotcom @ky_statesman No one said you don’t have a right to exist, but what gives Jews the right to land specifically designated based on religion? That doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world.

@jjfThompson @inarchus @KimDotcom @ky_statesman I'm Jewish so let me clarify something. The word "Goyim" is not derogatory, it just means nations. We do not believe non Jewish people are less than human. Israel is not going anywhere. It has a right to exist, as we Jews have lived there for thousands of years and always will.

@conallo They weren’t wrong at all. Lincoln was elected as a purely sectional president who was a threat to southern interests. They seceded because they felt threatened.

@jjfThompson Thanks for sharing. It truly shows how wrong the Confederate, in general, and Davis’, in particular, were. There was no “usurpation” of power. Lincoln won the election fair and square. Southern, and Southern sympathizers candidates lost. Quote also shows who aggressor was

@FallacyIL @inarchus @KimDotcom @ky_statesman No.

@jjfThompson @inarchus @KimDotcom @ky_statesman So in the Bible when it is said that Abraham will be a "Great goy", do Jews believe that Abraham and they themselves are less than human?
