DUmmy Nikia confronts a common democrat problem - how or whether to let people at work know you're a moonbat.
It can be difficult. Unless you're working in a carwash or some other minumum-wage day-labor type of job, chances are you're surrounded by normal people who hold democrats in contempt.
Poor DUmmy Nikia.

Have you ever had to come out as a Democrat to someone who you were developing a close friendship?
I am kind of ashamed to admit this, but I don't know if my best work friend knows that I am a Democrat. I am reasonably certain that she is Republican as she is antiunion, an NRA fan, and her husband is friends with a nationally know right wing entertainer.
I had signs up at election time but we work in a different town and she lives in a different town and hasn't been to my house yet.I have worked there a year and stayed out of the few political discussions in an effort to fit in and stay on good terms with everyone.
I know that some people would say that I shouldn't be friends with someone like this, but I won't stop being friends with her short of a serious betrayal with no remorse.
I'll bring it up soon, but it just seems kind of odd.

2. Everyone who meets me knows I'm a democrat.
Not by me bringing it up, but by my reactions to things they bring up. Being a democrat, for me, isn't a choice, it is how I think, what I believe. I have never been able to hide it, and come to think about it I have never tried. Friendship has never been that important to me though.

3. Maybe she knows the same way you know
Discussing politics is not part of the friendship. People agree to disagree on that and just not discuss it. That's where the old saw about politics and religion causing fractures comes up.
People who say you should not be friends with someone like this are wrong. They are promoting division. No one is going to do anything but harden their views by cutting themselves off from others.

10. They hate it when someone keeps bringing up facts
We don't talk politics at work either, for the same reason. They can't back up their fatuous talking points.

9. She may be reasonably certain that you're a Democrat if you've been honest
But really, unless she's a raging teabagger what difference does it make?

11. Why should you have to be afraid and apologetic
about being a Democrat? This type of friend is not worth it.
A really pleasant person:

15. Yes, I live in a nest of conservatives whom I must interact with
each day. Since I got fed up with the Fox News and Rush Limbaugh talking points I was hearing from them every day, I felt I had to speak up. In order to do that I had to out myself as a liberal, not necessarily a Democrat although I also admit I'm a registered Democrat, but really a liberal at heart. It's very liberating for me because now I can baffle them with logic and facts. Sure, I don't immediately convince those who hold favorite misconceptions, half truths and lies dear to their heart, but I do shut them up cause they can't really win with me. I do try to be as courteous as I can be in these exchanges. I'm not trying to make enemies but just have some peace of mind.
How would you like to work with this DUmpmonkey?

There you have it....their excuse....they can't help....they were born that way.....phucked up to the Nth degree.

Moonbats aren't democrats, they're liberal socialists.
They call themselves demos in order to lend legitamacy to their stupid regressive dreams.

I love how the people who have to run to DU and MSNBC for talking points accuse us of spouting nothing but talking points from Rush and Faux Snooze.
They think because they live in a bubble that we do too.

There is nothing legitimate about today's democrat party. It's an evil institution founded on immorality.
Outside of its leadership, which preys on its halfwitted membership for great wealth and power, the democrat party consists of two groups.
First are the leeches, the takers who want to bleed the nation dry to support their own laziness and greed. They form the solid democrat base.
Second are the vast army of people who are so dumb they believe the democrat party just represents a different political philosophy, and isn't dedicated to destruction of the America that has been a beacon of civilization for the past two hundred years.
Aside from the evil, cynical leadership, every democrat in America belongs to one of those two groups, and is worthy of contempt.

I love their bouncies where they shut conservatives up with their brilliant logic, but somehow they're afraid to leave their damned hive over there.
Hey DUmmies, no one believes you. Go to the Mind Numbing Stupidity forum here and read about the moonbat that I've been owning on twitter for the last several days. You're just like him. Once anyone talks back to you or uses your tactics against you, you lean on the race card. If that doesn't work, you get discombobulated and go off on wild tangents. You are not that bright.

No.
Both you and I have known old democrats that are no where near the liberal socialists of today.
I refuse to call those idiots democrats because they do not truly represent what old liners believed.
Unfortunately, the old timers still vote "D", because they don't recognize the insidious nature of the socialist movement in the party.

Those oldtimers who are so terminally stupid they still vote democrat belong in the second group I described.
The 0bamaites and other parasites could never damage America without the active support and votes of those millions of DUmbasses.
They are as detestable as any purebred 0bamaite. Democrats of any type are simply traitors.

No.
Just plain no.

Just plain no.
They are complicit to the Nth degree. I know an old time Democrat who is over 70 years old.. I will quote what he told me.
"I would rather vote for a ****** than vote for a Republican." (N-word) may be sensored.
So, there you have it. The old time Democrats that you are defending.
