Unless politics is your business, it's to keep politics out of the workplace, period.. The initial poster is going to pay the price for her complete lack of professionalism. It just might be a good lesson for her.I used to teach Martial Arts at a studio where the owner would rant on about politics and religion in the classes he taught, even the kid's classes, and, although I shared many of his sentiments about politics, the whole thing used to make me wince with embarassement. He didn't care though. He was simply unable to keep his mouth shut. When students and parents would complain, he would just wave them away. There was one incident, where a young college student engaged him and the poor kid was left completely embarassed, so much so, that he just didn't come back. He was a nice guy and a good student, I just hope he's still training. I'm sure the guy lost alot of business, but he was the type that would cut his nose off to spite his face.I wish people would learn to be appropriate with their views on politics. When I go to a restaurant, I don't want to see the owners political leanings on the walls or in literature on my table. When I go to a music concert, I don't want to her whomever it is harp on about politics and, when I go to see a movie, I don't want the director's politics bouncing about on the screen. I remember when the Dixie Chicks got all political in the middle of their concert in London and their business suffered as a consequence. People have to realize that they are free to say whatever they want, but people are also free to not partake in their business services.
