Policy analysts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta were told of the list of forbidden words at a meeting Thursday with senior CDC officials who oversee the budget, according to an analyst who took part in the 90-minute briefing. The forbidden words are "vulnerable," "entitlement," "diversity," "transgender," "fetus," "evidence-based" and "science-based."

    You think there is "progressive rape of language by the (predominantly christian in name) neo-cons. Clear language is what those dirty commoners use to equalize the battle. Can't have them communicating clearly or in depth."

    OK, how about liberals trying to replace the correct legal term "illegal alien" with "undocumented immigrant"?

    Don't you want clear language?

    1. They are illegal. (our law says so)

    2. They are aliens. (by dictionary: a noncitizen; owing political allegiance to another country or government; foreign; an outsider)

    3. They are not undocumented. (They buy documents on the black market. They might be using YOUR documents.)

    4. They are not immigrants. (according the the IRS: An alien who has been granted the right by the USCIS to reside permanently in the United States and to work without restrictions in the United States.)

    If being "undocumented" is OK, then maybe I don't need a gun permit in California? I can be an undocumented gun owner. Maybe if I have sex with you without asking, I'll be be an undocumented spouse. If I wander about your house, I'm an undocumented resident. No, this is a load of nonsense.

    And you too can go burn in the very lake of fire you are terrified of ending up in when you finally kick the bucket.

    1. They are illegal. (our law says so)

    Over-staying your visa isn't even a crime [procon.org] and entering the US illegally is just a misdemeanor.
    And visa over-stays make up more than half of the total number of "illegal immigrants."? [washingtontimes.com]

    So, unless you've been going around calling jaywalkers "illegal citizens" you are just a damn hypocrite.

      Misdemeanors are illegal acts, you stupid fuck. You take the fact that a misdemeanor is LESS OF an illegal act than something like first degree murder, then try to make that less illegal act into legal? You are one STUPID motherfucker. Illegal aliens are breaking the law - THAT is what makes them "illegal aliens".

        And jaywalking is a misdemeanor. But you go ahead and spazz out all you want. Temper tantrums are the best way to prove U R the smartest person in the room.
