Perhaps I'm being too kind.
Depends on who you classify as a Founder.
Limiting it to the members of the Constitutional Convention, Hamilton, as you note, was born in the West Indies. One was born in Scotland, two in England and four in Ireland. That 8 of the 55.

To use a slightly less rigorous definition of Founder, I think Tom Paine should qualify. He was born in England.
Exactly! George Washington was born on his parents’ Pope’s Creek Estate near present-day Colonial Beach in Westmoreland County, Virginia. Does that sound foreign to you? I don’t think so. I guess the Wookie hasn’t been eating her vegies lately.
I think I have his desk. At least I have a desk from that period that was purchased from the estate of his descendent (another Smith -- John, I think). I bought it about 35 years ago. I love it, but it doesn't work for a computer. ;*)
She gives idiots a bad name.
odd that most of them were born in America and called American prior to the AR...

Nevis, British West Indies.

Then he had the same nationality as the rest...
America was a British colony...
hey her husbands father wasn’t born Kenyan either..
but he was born in Kenya..
Impeach her husband.
Nevis, LOL
We were on a cruise in March.
The comedian says “St Kitts and Nevis, that’s Caribbean for ghetto. Do not under any circumstances get more than one block from the port.”
Yes, but by implication Michelle was talking about physical place of birth, since she was drawing parallels between the people she was addressing and the founders.
And I believe both of his parents were born in the “Territory”. But I could be mis-remembering that.

Fellow Texans, flood out the faxes, emails and phones at the governor’s office and your representatives!
Ask what they intend to do about massive amount of illegal aliens flooding over our border, bringing crime, drugs, disease and unbelievable expense to the state to care for them.
This is insane!
HOUSTON, Texas—Governor Rick Perry (R-TX) appeared on Fox News’ Fox and Friends show and said Texas lacks the resources and manpower to secure the 1,200 mile border...
BS!
Other Texas elected officials, speaking on condition of anonymity have told Breitbart Texas that Texas does, in fact, have the resources to conduct not only a surge operation, but a prolonged border control operation that would secure the Texas border with Mexico.

Request for Immediate Texas Border Control
We, the undersigned, because the federal government has failed to act, call on the Texas Legislature to develop and fund a border and port of entry security plan utilizing state and local law...
FYI!! NumbersUSA just posted - on their TX member’s Action Board - a link to fax Gov Goodhair and phone call to make to your R Reps supporting Rep Louie Gohmert’s Fortify the Border Amendment.
You have to be registered at NumbersUSA....it’s worth joining for all of the faxes you can send to your elected officials. These are good guys, who’ve been fighting the good fight for YEARS.
Additionally, anyone can call La RAza Rick and anyone can ask their Rep to support Gohmerts
.
yes. but she has to defend her husband being in this country....
Descriptive of the entire administration. Inelegant indeed.
Doesn’t this woman have a staff of 500 people? Couldn’t one of them edit her speeches? Nice work Princeton and Harvard.
They CREATED America, you moron. They didn’t break any laws to get here, either.
Let’s see. Jamestown around 1608. Articles of Confederation in 1781. US Constitutional Convention in 1787.
Almost 180 years between the first settlements and the Constitutional Convention. I bet there were some folks of European descent born in the New World during those 180 years, probably including all those who attended the CC and most all those who fought in the Revolutionary War.
These leftist haters try to diminish our heritage and history at every opportunity. And Moochelle is an ignoramus for saying that, despite her pieces of paper from Princeton and Harvard. Doesn’t say much for Ivy League education.
Breitbart.com is as stupid as she is. REMINDED? It's a LIE! Can I get an editor, please?
