§Freedom of speech or new world order?

What gives the US Government the right to block any web sites. "The Patriot Act" is their excuse to withhold information from the American public in the name of safety and security. The US can't even control the borders and the 12 million plus illegal immigrants in this country, so why should the American' people believe that by blocking web sites contrary to Government policy we are any safer? We are not any safer, but the real problem is that most Americans are sheep just waiting to be lead to the slaughter by our own government and/or Muslim radicals. As an American citizen, this view is very unpopular, but time will be my judge!
