For those of you that think the “other” party is so much worse, the last 3 years have been pretty dismal for the Democrats on our 1st Amendment:

“The bill—H.R. 347, or the “Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011”—was passed by unanimous consent in the Senate, while only Ron Paul and two other Republicans voted against the bill in the House of Representatives (the bill passed 388-3). Not a single Democratic politician voted against the bill.”
