Don’t give Trump so much credit, America
NOVEMBER 10, 2016 / PURPOSEONTHEPRAIRIE
In less than 24 hours since Donald Trump has been named the President-elect of the greatest nation on this earth, it’s become apparent he’s being given far more credit than he’s due. There’s anguished cries of, ‘How will my children grow up knowing not to discriminate?’ or, ‘How can I look my daughter in the eye and tell her she has purpose?’ Really? Really, America? You have given Donald Trump, a mere mortal man, far more credit than he deserves, especially considering the man hasn’t even taken office yet. Trump does not have the power to mold our families, that is our flat-out our responsibility.

Your children will learn to love or hate, be respectful or disrespectful, wise or foolish, not by the character of the family in the White House, but by the family in their house. May I submit to you that your sons and daughters will be far, far more influenced by their teachers, coaches, 4-H, FFA, Scouts or church group leaders than they will a man on TV. I don’t feel my character was molded by the Bush, Clinton, or Obama families, but I did learn perseverance from my Dad, work ethic from my Mom, and to do my best (and then redo it) from my sister. My college bible study leaders modeled to me how to seek God and my husband leads me in prayer.

Should those in the public spotlight conduct themselves in a honorable fashion with utmost integrity? Absolutely. However, it is not the responsibility of Miss America, the NFL, or the President, to set the example of moral conduct. It is not the government’s responsibility to ensure American children have a good example. It is our responsibility, as American citizens, to ensure that we lead our youth in showing what is right and good and honorable and true. One good, God-fearing, America respecting football coach can do far more to shape the hearts and minds of teenage boys than Colin Kapernick. If we want to make a difference, let’s stop worrying about Trump’s moral example and take an active role in our classrooms, churches, youth groups, sports team, 4-H and FFA.

Secondly, it is only a lie that one man in Washington can determine another person’s value or worth. If you’re living and breathing, you have a purpose. Case closed. God fearfully and wonderfully made each one of us, and then continues to work in us for His good pleasure! If I ever, ever seek another man or woman’s approval or affirmation to find purpose in my life, I will be sorely disappointed. It does not matter if that individual is a supervisor, friend, husband, or the President himself, no one can provide me with purpose outside of the Lord.

Friends and fellow Americans, “Your success as a family… our success as a nation… depends not on what happens inside the White House, but on what happens inside your house.” I pray these wise words of Barbara Bush should resonate with us, our nation has always and will always depend on the moral fiber of our families, nothing more, nothing less. God bless, America, and America, bless God!

In response to this article, I'll just post this image I found on Twitter, as it pretty much says what people are feeling.

Trump already has the support of the KKK, and numerous reports of people being attacked are on the internet. You can't control the actions of other people, so all the stuff you may teach people in your family doesn't apply to those who have no one to teach them in other families. That is where the problem starts. Trump called for violence and even a revolution a few years back, so people are learning hatred from Trump, whether it's his responsibility to be a good role model or not. It's not going to go away until he's out of office, so we might as well get used to it.

Ralph, I don't need to see examples of the other side. I know it works both ways. Point is Trump did his hate speech, threatened to not accept the results of the election, called for violence numerous times, etc. You can't unring that bell once it's out there. Trump is getting the same things he called for, and I don't think it will stop anytime soon. We're in for a long period of unrest. Obama was going to be a uniter, and that didn't work for him. No reason to believe it will work for Trump.

[Sangersteve]

and I respond to your examples.

A Louisiana college student has acknowledged she fabricated a report that she was assaulted and robbed of her wallet and Muslim headscarf by two men, one of whom she described as wearing a white “Trump” hat, police said Thursday.

The Lafayette Police Department said in a statement that it is no longer investigating the 18-year-old woman’s claims, which were made within hours of Donald Trump’s presidential victory.

I am more inclined to believe that other examples may be more fiction than fact.

As to the KKK support, Trump denounced them, and can not possibly police who says they agree with him.

Trump threatened he would not accept the results, really dude, so what? Clinton is the one that didn't concede till the next day.

As I told Ralph, Trump is getting the things he called for in the past. it's not going away, whether we like it or not.

Just remember one thing, ralph. There were more people who voted AGAINST Trump than voted FOR him. He won the electoral college votes, but the majority of American's didn't vote for Trump. Without some compromising with the people who voted against you, Trump is gong to find his time in office to be a difficult one. It will continue to be gridlock like we've had for many years now. All those things you are wanting won't happen if half the country is fighting you all the way.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I keep asking , I always ask , and no one ever answers . But what needs to get done and why would I dislike Gridlock . No one ever gives me an answer . All I want Trump to do is leave Americans guns alone , rebuild USA military , enforce Americas sovereignty and borders , get rid of Obamacare or at least destroy it and a few other things that slip my mind at the moment . But whats wrong with GRIDLOCK JustMe ??

You answered your own question. If there is gridlock, those things may not get done. Most of that will need to go through Congress, and probably some members of the Democratic Party to vote for them. If you have to keep asking to figure that out, I can't help you.

No, the winner doesn't compromise.

The losers do.

And just because more people voted against him than for him means nothing, other than..those people have to grow up and snap out of it.

Some of them will..(just like with Ronald Reagan)..but a lot won't, too.

[planosteve]

Loosing the popular vote is not a big thing. Retaining the House and the Senate are a big thing.

[GFB]

Half of those people that voted against him can be won over.

The rest..are probably "irredeemable."

[ralph]

well Americans already have guns and the TRUMP won't go after guns but 'illary' promised to go after guns so Trump is good for guns and I expect that the American gun culture will grow under the TRUMP !! And on some other issues Trump has the 'executive order' for some issues just like 'hussein' had JustMe !!

The GOP now controls the White House, Senate, House, a Supreme Court pick, and most governorships and state houses.

What opposition?
