Luckovich must learn how people really feel
Mike Luckovich’s adoption of Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 plan as a way to pile on, with the rest of the mainstream media, was so very funny (AJC cartoon, Opinion, Nov. 1). But let me inform Luckovich of the painful truths.
For those of us who are society’s drivers and producers, our absolute disdain, disgust and revulsion for the Quisling left and their media sycophants have brought us to a tipping point.
I don’t speak for everyone, but if Herman Cain gets up and says, “OK, I did it,” he will still be our choice.
It is putting country first, and our rising fear for the future of our Republic in the hands of the current regime that bring us here.
The ideological left did not bat an eye at the multiple allegations of sexual harassment, etc., leveled at former President Bill Clinton. Nor did it question President Barack Obama’s associations with radicals, racists, etc.
We conservatives can adopt that play book.

Having other options is lesson to be learned
Round No. 1 goes to banking customers. The big banks got the message loud and clear: no new fees!
It’s time for the big banks to face the facts. They made irresponsible loans, bad investments and, along with their Wall Street counterparts, destroyed our economy.
While government shares some of the blame for allowing banks to combine with investment firms and for failing to properly regulate them, banks are the major culprits.
Why would the big banks think that the same people negatively affected by their actions would agree to be nickeled and dimed to death — especially when there were other options? Having other options is the lesson to be learned here.
When you have true competition (in this case, smaller banks and credit unions), the consumer wins. Smaller banks and credit unions were the spoilers which saved the day.
Megabanks controlling the vast majority of banking business is not a good idea. We need more competition in the banking business — not consolidation.
Until the big bank boards of directors and executives take responsibility for their actions, rein in their lust for profits and stop paying out bonuses, the American consumer will continue to hold them in contempt.
