Actually, my 1st Ammendment rights do exist on your private property.  I
can establish a religion and freely exercise it, speak freely and/or publish
my ideas freely, assemble peacably and petition the government for redress
of grievances all free of Congress legislating against it.  This does not, 
however, prevent you as a private landowner from escorting me off your 
property (or having the government, in the form of the police doing it for
you for trespassing).  Just because the government is proscribed from doing
something doesn't mean a private individual is also proscribed from doing
that same thing.

Presuming the Executive Branch follows the spirit and letter of the law (and
I shall say no more to prevent this from veering into an inappropriate
post), the entirety of the Constitution and all of its ammendments apply in
all places that the US has sovereignty.
