(CNN)Former President George W. Bush will release a book of 43 portraits of immigrants in conjunction with an exhibition on the value of American immigration at the George W. Bush Presidential Center that will feature the paintings.

The book from Bush, a prolific amateur painter, will be titled "Out of Many, One" and will publish in March, according to a statement from the book's publisher, Crown. "Through powerful four-color portraits—personally painted by the President himself—and their accompanying stories, OUT OF MANY, ONE reminds us of the countless ways in which America has been strengthened by the individuals who have come here in search of a better life," the statement continued. In the book's introduction, Bush expressed hope that his book would help present immigration as a unifying, uplifting issue.

Nope. Just a real Republican. Didn’t like his father and didn’t like him.

He and his family cinched my dislike when he buddied up to the Clinton Crime family.

I’ve wanted to take a painting class for a long time, not to prove anything.
I didn’t realize the other people would be calling me a hack just because it seems interesting to me.

The Housing Crash had its roots under Clinton and his HUD buddy, Andrew Cuomo.

Housing crash happened 7.5 years after Clinton was out. It was all those crooked banks in the 2000’s writing bad loans thinking the musical chairs would never end.

If four years of AlGore would have spared us the Kenyanesian Usurpation, I’d do it in an heartbeat.

we stick with Republican worms who betray us at every turn like we’re in an abusive relationship.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Flimsey Grahamnesty is the poster child of that.

THREE times he has voted to abandon the rule of law and surrender the country to illegal aliens and a permanent Democrat majority and he will be re-elected.

Of course we’ll never know if a Gore presidency would have spared us Obama. It would be nice if we could know what was going to happen as a result of different people being in power.

Many here wish that Bush had never been elected, but that ignores that his Democrat opponents would have been president instead.

It’s pretty safe to say 9/11 would have happened under Gore as well. However, there would have been more pushback here against everything that came after it, instead of excuse making because an (R) was POTUS.

I did the first, but not the second. I used to earn the ire of the Bushbots pretty regularly around here. Those were some bleak years.

When does Kate get her portrait?


I wonder if her murderer is in Bush’s book? Probably not.

That's the problem we conservatives humans have .......

It's human nature. But conservatives should know better. When our candidate behaves in a way that is diametrically opposed to his constituents, we should be honest about it.

Which, is what we did with Romney. Jorge Busho and McLame taught us that the GOPe was killing us. Just, not as quickly as the RATs.

CNN hated Bush with every fiber of their being when he was president.

For the WOKE-WOKE among us, we all know that Bush only has one use to the Left now...to “prove” how much worse Trump is now.

I’m saying that he ran and hid in a bunker. That was his choice. He was in charge. Not the Secret Service. Rudy Giuliani was acting President for a day.

Within days of that, he was shuffling in stocking feet into a Washington DC mosque to stammer nonsense about “Islam is Peace”

And it was downhill from there. The Saudis get away with it. Americans die in Iraq in the thousands. Islamic migration actually increases.

In the wake of 9-11, Bush Junior had it in his power to do the one thing that might have saved our homeland: stopping the third-world migration turning state after state over to permanent left-wing control - including in the Electoral College.

But he did no such thing. Because of his intellectual and ideological limitations, “Immigrant = Good” is as far as he can go with the issue. So instead of putting on the brakes to preserve the homeland, he pressed (and continues to press) the accelerator to speed it towards obliteration.

GW was raised with gentle, grateful, respectful Hispanics in the house as staff & landscapers when he was growing up.

He has never had face to face exposure to the Feral invaders of today.

He never had to dodge the invaders at the local Home Depot or at an intersection in Los Angeles. I can tell him the other side of the coin.
