Two Days After Sharing This ‘Open Letter’ to Obama on Facebook, Veteran Coach Was Handing

Two days after posting a controversial open letter to President Barack Obama, written by “An American Citizen,” on his personal Facebook page, a lacrosse coach said he was forced to resign by school officials at Fryeburg Academy in Fryeburg, Maine.

Scott Lees, who was the head coach of the boys lacrosse team for four years, said he shared the open letter because he thought it was “interesting.” The letter asks a series of questions about Muslims and their contributions to America. The author eventually suggests that Muslims do not do “anything that contributes positively to the American way of life.”

“I thought it was an interesting letter to President Obama and his current administration who are not paying attention to Israel and focusing on Iran,” Lees told the Conway Daily Sun.

Read the entire open letter, seemingly written in response to Obama’s 2009 speech in Cairo, below:

The elite will not tolerate disparaging remarks about their god [Obama] Though I will say, the coach’s first mistake was referring to Obama as “president”.

Must not disparage Party Secretary!

I’ve got a new one.

Honecker comes into his office,

opens the window, sees the sun, and says...

What’s wrong?

Oh, excuse me... I just...

No, carry on, colleague!

No harm in laughing about
the Party Chairman, is there.

I probably know the joke anyway.

Come on, tell us!

Well... Honecker...

I mean, the Comrade General Secretary
sees the sun and says,

- “Good morning, dear sun!”
- More like, “Good morning, dear sun!”

The sun replies, “Good morning, dear Erich!”

And at noon, Erich goes to
the window and says,

“Good day, dear sun!”

The sun replies, “Good day, dear Erich!”

In the evening, Erich says again,

“Good evening, dear sun!”

and the sun doesn’t reply.

“Good evening, dear sun... “

“What’s wrong?” he asks.

And the sun replies,

“Screw you, I’m in the West now!”

Name?

Rank? Department?

Me?

Stigler.

2nd Lieutenant Axel Stigler. Dept. M.

I don’t have to tell you

what this means for your career.

Please, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel,
I was just...

You were just deriding the Party!
That’s incitement,

and likely just the tip of the iceberg!

I will report this to the Minister’s office.

This is an example of why intelligent people should stay away from social networks like Facebook. It is run by a liberal who has his minions overtly go after people who disparage Obama and the left.

Posting anything of a negative light, will get you fired from your longtime job. This is more of the soft-terrorism of the left.

Liberals Have Broken America's Social Contract

This guy is forced to resign after exercising his First Amendment rights, but we still have school “officials” with their jobs after having students dress in musloid garb and chanting musloid prayers on campus.

Muslims do not do “anything that contributes positively to the American way of life.”

No, they don't. In 98% of the time they are a net negativel.

so much for free speech at educational institutions

of course, it’s a perfect example of the type of ‘free speech’ the left will allow... and what happens if you step out of line

He should have gone with the firing instead of resigning. By resigning, he lost out on making the school pay unemployment and lost ground in a law suit.

“Scott Lees did post a message on Facebook regarding Muslim people last week
that was negative and, of course, public in nature.”

Newspeak for he told the truth and compounded the crime by telling it in public

I post very little involving social, cultural or political matters on my personal FB page. My personal page is for sharing recipies, cat and dog videos, trip photos and videos,
banter with friends, saying Happy Birthday and expressing my love for friends and relatives.
It annoys me when others push their beliefs via their personal page and it ends up in my feed.
It is unnecessarily divisive and the wrong venue.

I own two community pages, one focusing on racism, the other on Western Civilization.
That’s where, unconnected to my real name, I speak my mind.
