My Democrat IRS superiors would stress that they did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims. My Democrat Post Office superiors would stress that they forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests. My aforesaid Democrat superiors would stress that the aforesaid adverse actions that they took against me directly benefited their employees who were poor, and especially their poor employees who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.)

— Trump to issue Magna Carta of religious liberty – Bryan Fischer
https://www.onenewsnow.com/perspectives/bryan-fischer/2017/02/03/trump-to-issue-magna-carta-of-religious-liberty
(FROM THE ARTICLE: We read every day of Christians who have been fired from government positions because of things they did or said outside the workplace on Facebook, or, for example, as part-time pastors. Under Trump, that comes to a dead stop at the federal level. No agency will be allowed to punish a federal employee for advocating for their values “while outside the scope of their employment.” What a Christian does and says on his own time will henceforth be none of the government’s business. And Christians won’t be gagged even at work, say, during breaks, in the cafeteria, and on site before or after work. Agencies will be directed to “reasonably accommodate” religious speech and action even “within the course of their employment.” No one will be prohibited from “receiving government grants or contracts” because their business is guided by Christian principles. Federal agencies “will accommodate the religion of federal employees” and will not “substantially burden … (their) religious exercise.” Christian employees of federal agencies will no longer need to fear harassment and punishment for bringing their faith to work with them.)
