Question about Bush's executive order about the Iraq War?

Does Bush's executive order that bans acts that can destabilize Iraq infringe our right to free speech and to petition the gov. (basically the 1st amendment)? Does this order ban anti-war shirts and petitions? Is wearing a shirt that says "Bring the Troops Home" or "Stop the War in Iraq" a threat? How are petitions threats? AND when a new president is elected, is Bush's executive order still valid?
Answers:
Bush and Cheney would like everyone to fear any alternative to their agenda, having always stated that if you do not agree with them you are on the side of the terrorists. Their attitude infringes our right to free speech, using fear to stifle any dissent. There is no direct order that you cannot protest or wear shirts with anti-Bush slogans, yet people still fear wearing them or protesting. A new President has his own agenda and what Bush does is not binding on the next President.
Wow, your ignorance is astounding. Just out of curiosity, have you ever been outside of this country? Even in western democracies like France and Germany the oppressive nature of their socialist government is palpable. Its evident in every aspect of life. America is a free country, too bad you don't know it.
Here's a hint - An executive order only applies to members of the executive branch of government, and it remains in effect regardless of who is president until another executive order rescinds it.
Geez, you mean you didn't hear about the motorist that Bush recently had hanged for having a "STOP THE WAR, STOP THE LIES" bumper sticker?
It's really getting scary
i think that is called "police state" or communism.
i think there are limits to what he can do with executive order before congress steps in. He may be the pres but there are usually steps that need to be taken for an act like taking away freedom of speech through tshirts or propaganda
I'd like anyone to prove that any executive order is constitutional. His EOs are vague enough to stop any and all actions. Also EOs are considered to be continuous until repealed by the President.
