"I (we) would like a direct answer and not the evasive tap-dance you gave STARWISE"

Okay. The question was:

"What exactly do the words ‘defending our borders, our Constitution and our national sovereignty’ mean to you?"

"Defending our borders." A border is the line between our country and either another country or international waters. Defend means "to ward off attack; guard against assault or injury." So... defending our borders means to ward off attack; guard against assault or injury across those borders.

"Defending our Constitution." Our Constitution is the system of fundamental principles according to which the United States of America is governed. Defend means "to ward off attack; guard against assault or injury." So... defending our Constitution means to ward off attack; guard against assault or injury to the system of fundamental principles according to which the United States of America is governed.

"Defending our national sovereignty." Sovereignty is the supreme and independent power or authority in government as possessed or claimed by a state or community. Defend means "to ward off attack; guard against assault or injury." So... defending our national sovereignty means to ward off attack; guard against assault or injury to the supreme and independent power or authority in government as possessed or claimed by the United States of America.

"There is no need for you to make sarcastic remarks about "rewriting" the constitution."

It was not sarcastic. It was deadly serious. I actually respect the US Constitution and have taken an oath to defend it. I believe that the Birther movement thinks that you must destroy the Constitution in order to save it. I call BS on that.

I can’t believe what I’m reading!

And by what logic do you totally discard illegal penetration of our sovereign borders by persons barred by law from doing so ?

I see .. common sense, fundamental enforcement of our laws and basic defensive national protection are completely excluded from your warped reasoning. I now shudder at the mere thought that any military troop ever came under your command, if you were indeed ever in the military or, God forbid, presently are.

You can believe anything you want to believe.

Like many concerned citizens — including former presidential candidate, and constitutional scholar, Alan Keyes — I have serious and grave concerns as to the eligibility of Obama to serve as POTUS, stemming from the fact that his father was a foreign national at his(Obama’s)birth.

We also, at this time, cannot be completely sure Obama was really born in Hawaii, as he has refused to release his ORIGINAL “long form” B.C. and other solid evidence that he was, in fact, born in Hawaii.

The same set of rules would also go for Jindal (R)— if he so chooses to run for POTUS — or ANYONE else who would not meet the requirement of natural Born Citizen under the constitution.

Obama is a piece of crap African Colonial.

I would like nothing more than to see him shipped to Britain where I’m sure he would feel more at home.

However, if the SCOTUS were to rule on the “Natural Born” issue and it turned out that Obama was illegible to serve as POTUS — under the courts ruling — than I would have no recourse but to abandon the “birther” issue.

Of course, if it could be shown, by evidence, that there was widespread fraud in putting him in office, I would be on board for any, and all, legal proceedings that could be brought against the offending parties (including Obama) involved.

Having said all that I (we) call BS on YOUR BS!
