Big Government and Small Business: The Effect of Federal Policy on Job Creation Elisabeth Meinecke: At a recent stop by the Small Business Administration's Jobs Act tour in Washington, D.C., small business owners seemed divided about the effects federal policy is having on their companies. ... more Supermen Step on Obama Cape John Ransom: Things have gotten so complicated for the front men of U.S policy that they are tripping over their own capes. ... more Quest 2012: Obama And His Challengers Brian Birdnow: The most recent polls show President Obama leading all of his potential GOP opponents and, in fact easily defeating most of them in hypothetical 2012 elections. The common reaction, even among seasoned commentators and politicos at this point is to shrug ones shoulders and say: "Who Cares?" ... more Union Battles: A Window for Parental Choice Howard Rich: The defensive struggle that's currently being waged by America's public sector unions has the potential to usher in a renaissance of parental choice in our nation – assuming supporters of academic freedom are willing to seize this opportunity and resist the urge to settle for half-measures. ... more No Trump Bid Kathryn Lopez: Thank goodness for the royal wedding! It took U.S. media attention off Donald Trump for a few minutes. ... more Carbon and Carbon Dioxide: Clearing Up the Confusion Paul Driessen: We are constantly bombarded with information – much of it inaccurate, misleading, even deliberately so. ... more Netanyahu's Time to Choose Caroline Glick: Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's response to the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority's peace deal with Hamas would be funny if it weren't tragic. Immediately after the news broke of the deal Netanyahu announced, "The PA must choose either peace with Israel or peace with Hamas. There is no possibility for peace with both." ... more Obama's Critics Win a Round Floyd and Mary Beth Brown: Mao taught his follower, "Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed." Obama practices his politics as the master taught. ... more Birth Certificate Rich Galen: I have given a great deal of thought to the whole birth certificate thing. Like you, I wondered why, if it had been available all this time, Obama didn't just ask for it two years ago and put this nonsense to bed. ... more Is the Party Over? Ken Connor: Let's not kid ourselves: The policy train in American government has largely been driven by powerful special interests. These enterprises invest enormous amounts of time and money in political campaigns in order to ensure that their agenda is advanced on Capitol Hill. ... more Sanity Continues Losing Ground In School Culture Wars, Part I Kyle Olson: Public schools continue to be a battleground in the culture war, as the education establishment – composed primarily of leftists bent on political correctness – gains more ground. ... more		UPDATE: Daniels Will Sign Bill Banning Planned Parenthood Funding Elisabeth Meinecke Not the Right Stuff Carol Platt Liebau The Chris and Katie Project: Episode 4 -- Donald Trump Is a Clown . . .

Dalai Lama Quote from Snow Lion Publications

Dalai Lama Quote of the Week What premises or grounds do we have for accepting that mental afflictions can be ultimately rooted out and eliminated from our mind? In Buddhist thought, we have three principal reasons for believing that this can happen. One is that all deluded states of mind, all afflictive emotions and thoughts, are essentially distorted in their mode of apprehension, whereas all the antidotal factors such as love, compassion, insight, and so on not only are undistorted, but they also have grounding in our varied experience and in reality. Second, all these antidotal forces also have the quality of being strengthened through practice and training. Through constant familiarity, one can enhance their capacity and increase their potential limitlessly. So the second premise is that as one enhances the capacity of these antidotal forces and increases their strength, one is able to correspondingly reduce the influences and effects of delusory states of mind. The third premise is that the essential nature of mind is pure; in other words, there is the idea that the essential nature of mind is clear light or Buddha-nature. So it is on these three premises that Buddhism accepts that delusions, all afflictive emotions and thoughts, can be ultimately eliminated through practice and meditation.
