Trump bans ideologically based code-words, un-named CDC analyst
says they "could not recall a previous time when words were banned from
budget documents due to ideology.”

list: "diversity," "fetus," "transgender," "vulnerable," "entitlement," "science-based" and "evidence-based."

Why does his administration view these words as a problem ? I'm missing the issue here.

likewise, I must be missing something on this, unless it's because they're trying to get "feelings" out of legislation, and replace them with more technical terms.

I guess I don't recall the Trump administration coming out with such a policy. Or at least their side of it.

I would, however, think that those "terms" are simply not relevant in budget related documents. In legislative language, sure, but in budget matters, not so much. It could be just a desire to clean up the budget language in budget related issues. I would think a competent CEO would want that. Less theater and more substance.

What stories I've seen on this matter are clearly biased against the Administration and I see no good faith effort for the current Administrations side of the issue. Basically some "unnamed" source whining about it.

The world was formed by the Word.

Words have power and certain words can define or frame a situation that would not normally be used in that context. Sometimes we change attitudes when certain words are used to describe us. Like if you say that the crime rate is higher in Chicago then you are called prejudiced towards Chicago. How many times have the right been called names by the left only so they would modify their behavior. Bigot has been used a lot lately and in the wrong contexts.

The ones that are redefining the words for the most part are liberals and organizations that want to change the status quo and make things that are not acceptable palatable to society.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, in 1932, redefined the word liberalism. Prior to 1932, liberalism meant “a belief in individual liberty.” He gave the word a new meaning: “a belief in paternalistic government and trading individual liberty for state-sponsored security” by redefining what he called “the forgotten man.”

Liberals = progressives

 Examples of redefining and/or repurposing language by the CDC is that which is associated with “abortion.” The word “abortion,” according to the Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary is defined as: “the expulsion of a nonviable fetus: a spontaneous expulsion of a human fetus during the first 12 weeks of gestation – compare with miscarriage; induced abortion: monstrosity; arrest of development (as part of a process) resulting in imperfection; the result of such arrest.”

A “fetus” is defined by my Webster’s Dictionary as: “the act of bearing young, offspring: akin to Latin newly delivered, fruitful: an unborn or unhatched vertebrate esp. after attaining the basic structural plan of its kind; specif: a developing human from usu. three months after conception to birth.”

The reasoning women use as justification for killing their child matters not; the willful taking of defenseless life is murder.
When the human body “spontaneously” expels a baby it is called a miscarriage. When the mother elects to induce the expulsion or removal of the baby within her it is the taking of a human life – and that is murder.

It is not a choice; it is the willful murder of a human life for selfish reasons. The reasoning women use as justification for killing their child matters not; the willful taking of defenseless life is murder.

I am glad that he is doing this and hopes it leads in the correct direction. We have seen so many word redefined lately in a negative way that it causes society to loose its base of right and wrong.

The left has been in a war of words with society for awhile now its nice to see the changes back to plain talk and established standards and in fact the truth of matters.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/words-banned-at-multiple-hhs-agencies-include-diversity-and-vulnerable/2017/12/16/9fa09250-e29d-11e7-8679-a9728984779c_story.html

To liberals discrimination means not giving equal stuff to members of minorities, who should have whatever they want, and everyone else must pay for those wants.

diversity: a blend of several unique items coexisting, such as a diversified stock portfolio. Liberals, however, define this word to describe racial, religious, cultural, and other “diversity” promoted within a single society that they define.

equality: an idea which states that each member of a given group has equal value or equal authority. To liberals it means forced equal outcomes regardless of skill, experience, or effort, as in racial quotas.

progressive: A “progressive” focuses on using government power to make institutions play by a set of rules. But liberals want to define “the rules.” Are you beginning to see how subtle liberals can be? Does the EPA come to mind?

rainbow: a “rainbow” is literally a circular color spectrum appearing in the sky due to the result of refraction and multiple reflections of sunlight in droplets of water. Liberals have redefined the word as a symbol of homosexuality. It has also been redefined and used by left-wing political pressure groups to refer to their agenda of multiculturalism. The word has also been mis-used by liberals as a symbol of “diversity.”

In bringing this back to the, "Word", satan the great counterfeiter takes the things of God and distorts, lies, or changes them.

 I personally when I see a rainbow remember Gods promise that is in the bible that says a rainbow is given as a sign that God will never flood the earth again.
