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."

    acting offended by mere words is a left-wing game anyway

    Nope, doublespeak is a bipartisan issue. Different words, same basic reactions. The Right even gets off on being offended by a lack of words, demanding that football players pledge allegiance to a flag. You're all pretty ridiculous.

    The anthem, it's very important that NFL players always STAND for the playing of our National Anthem. We're paying them big money to respect our Flag and our Country! #StandForOurAnthem [twitter.com]🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/czutyGaMQV [t.co]
