Should politics be in the workplace?

Should politics be in the workplace?
Should fanatical liberal people in management positions be allowed to use their "political beliefs" to administrate people and technology?

Personally, I am not a liberal and would say I am down right conservative in my beliefs, but some liberal fanatics I work with equate liberal politics with ethics. I do not see it this way. I think my ethics are just as high if not higher than some of these if not all of these liberal fanatics? ethics.

I just found out I am being second guessed by my bosses IT friend who goes to the Democratic Party meetings with him. I find this very disturbing. I have the ability to do this job and have been doing it long before this guy became my boss.

It?s to the point now where I can?t go out to lunch with him and other people in the company due to the fact that they make such a scene at the restaurant when they talk about politics before they eat. I mean they are loud. They make other people uncomfortable and I am one of them.

I am all for freedom of political belief, but I think they should keep at home. Personally, I do not want to hear this supercilious drivel. I never speak of or try and "convert" these people to my views, I expect the same in return.
