Justin Bieber deportation petition tops goal, Obama administration must react A WhiteHouse.gov petition to deport the troubled Canadian-born pop star reached 100,000 signatures on Monday, crossing its threshold goal and thus meriting an official and timely response from the Obama administration. The online petition, which was started by "J.A." in Detroit, topped the goal weeks ahead of its Feb. 22 deadline. The signatures are still coming in, with the current tally now at over 115,000. "We the people of the United States feel that we are being wrongly represented in the world of pop culture," the petition states. "We would like to see the dangerous, reckless, destructive, and drug abusing, Justin Bieber deported and his green card revoked. He is not only threatening the safety of our people but he is also a terrible influence on our nations youth. We the people would like to remove Justin Bieber from our society."

<< I would replace it with a Constitutional Republic. it would be very similar to the Constitutional Republic that was established in this same geographic area over 230 years ago. But there would be some changes. One change would be to remove any mechanisms that would allow the majority to slowly erode away the rights of individuals to convert the government to a functional democracy while still claiming to be a constitutional republic. Further, it would provide mechanisms to remove the elements of society who would subvert the protection and defense of individual rights. The Constitutional Republic needs a prime directive. And that prime directive is that those who act in a way that indicates that they do not believe that protection of the natural rights of individuals is the one true role of the government, should have no expectation that their natural individual rights will be protected by the government.>> You could never accomplish that in a democracy as we liberals would vote against you. That is my point. So what do you do next? It is either a messy democracy or something worse. Without government there is anarchy.
