    The way those memes have been misused is the Orwellian aspect.

    It would be nice if the article had listed all 7 words. From your link:

    "The forbidden language includes “entitlement,” “transgender,” “fetus,” “vulnerable,” and “evidence-based,” the paper reported."

    What were the other two?

    There was an earlier banning, with similar anti-Orwellian impact:

    https://www.nationofchange.org/2017/08/09/trump-administrations-solution-climate-change-ban-term/
    "In a bold new strategy unveiled on Monday in the Guardian, the U.S. Department of Agriculture – guardians of the planet’s richest farmlands – has decided to combat the threat of global warming by forbidding the use of the words.
    Under guidance from the agency’s director of soil health, Bianca Moebius-Clune, a list of phrases to be avoided includes “climate change” and “climate change adaptation,” to be replaced by “weather extremes” and “resilience to weather extremes.”
    Also blacklisted is the scary locution “reduce greenhouse gases” – and here, the agency’s linguists have done an even better job of camouflage: the new and approved term is “increase nutrient use efficiency.”"

    The misuse of favorite memes by progressive Marxists and financial exploiters to brainwash and terrorize the rest of us is one reason Trump was elected. Yea Trump.

    Clearly you can still say clarifying. I grant you that permission.

    Do hou think guns kill more children than abortion?

    If so you are wrong by a very wide margin of at lest 10 to 1 more abortions than death by firearms

    This bunch of borderline incoherent babble is really not even worth trying to translate.

    Simple question -- do you even understand the concept of "left" and "right"? When people speak of a media source having a left or right bias, do you know what that means? I feel like we are having a debate in two different languages.

    The mainstream media and NPR leans left, FOX leans right. These are fairly basic truths understood by both sides, I believe.

    Wait wait wait I hear that the extremist right wing relgiocrats say that pregnant should be banned it is too graphic for the ears of children because it implies that the woman got that way through sexual intercourse a word that is not in the Bible.

    we are to go back to the 1940's and 1950's when America was great and use words such as:

    1- She is with child
    2-She is expecting
    3-She has a turkey in the oven
    4-She is in a family way
    5-She swallowed a watermellon ( seriously I had an aunt that use to say that)
    6-She is expecting the stork to visit ( appears that the dork already did)

    I recall that my mother used phrase # 5 once or twice and as a little kid I thought that my stunt was going to die from the watermelon.. and before that my mom used phrase # 3 so I told get no way it's summer not Thansgiving day.

    PS yes I was an opinionated mouthy kid

    The accusation was that NPR was biased.do you understand what biased means?
    Leans right or left in my opinion is not the same as being biased. Being Biased is being prejudiced. Leaning one way or the other to me means that you may display or say or emphasize the best featured of your side. Bias is more like showing hatred and trashing the other side.

    We are not going to agree or arrived at a common ground because after all you so incorrectly believe that you somehow know whatvI believe yet you do not.

    LOL... I'm getting your point, but I'm pretty sure the phrase in #3 is a BUN in the oven...... Not sure you want to tell a new mom she's got a turkey in the oven.....:)

    The FBI did not eliminate those references, they removed instances of those words being improperly used. Those words still exist where used in proper context. Their mission is to make the best cops in the world to protect the US from terrorists. Training people to be bigots would be counter productive to the mission.

    Leaning left or right is bias. It's the same thing. Do you understand what biased means? When someone says NPR or the mainstream media leans left, that's bias. When someone says FOX leans right, that's bias.

    You and I are not going to agree. I understand biased as a negative word and since bias and prejudice are very much similar biased should be follow by against. Leaning I see as a positive such as I am leaning toward voting for yes for the revised 2018 budget for our HO association. I was biased against the last proposal because it contained too much spending that would have raised our fees.

    I don't watch much television news at all anymore, certainly not enough to know the personalities, so I will take your word for it :)

    5%? Try closer to 1.2-2%.

    And I can, maybe because they are a problem when it comes to diseases? Anybody that wasn't passed for 'Diversity' in the medical field will acknowledge this.

    Can any of the right wing posters in this thread tell me what is wrong with "Science based" or "evidence based"?

    Thanks.
