TL;DR Version:
- 95% of these were issued by Kennedy
- 95% of these were revoked by Nixon, who issued his own version (but did not repeal them)
- and most were written during the Cold War, when we HAD shit like this to worry about (nuclear war, man)
- finally, what you'll see if you look at these executive orders is that Kennedy might issue one, that's revoked by Nixon, which is revoked by Reagan, etc. etc. These orders have their own checks-and-balances in that they can be edited and overridden by future presidents as well as by other means.
So to the OP: stop scaremongering, or, if you're not ultimately to blame here, at least do your own research before posting, sheesh. Pity that I don't have a Snopes article to send you to, but oh well.
[EDIT] This Snopes article seems to be in reaction to the most recent bout of it.
