Tea Party Conservative Fired Over Patriotic Song

Here's the story of a patriotic song written by a middle school football coach.

Via The Lonely Conservative:

Todd Starnes: It was co-written by a parent who has a child on the team. [Bryan] Glover, 26, said he emailed a copy of the song to friends, family members and player’s parents through his personal email account.

And that’s when all the trouble started for the self-described independent conservative. “The coach called me and said parents were upset – that I was being politically incorrect and the song had racial overtones,” Glover told FOX News Radio. “An hour and a half later I was told I was being terminated.”

“I was informed that I was being let go because of the song,” he said, denying claims there were any racial overtones in the song.

I fully expect Obama to weigh in on this local issue. Obama's cherished commitment to the First Amendment will compel him to defend Mr. Glover.

As a patriotic service to my country, I have prepared this short statement to be uploaded to Obama's teleprompter:

Let me be clear. As a citizen, and as president, I believe that independent conservatives have the right to express their political views as EVERYONE ELSE in this country.

That includes the right to email wholesome music videos to friends, family and other associates, in accordance with local laws and ordinances.

This is America, and our commitment to freedom of speech must be unshakable. The principle that people of all political persuations are welcome in this country, and that they will not be treated differently by their government, is essential to who we are. The writ of the Founders must endure.

Some will argue that Glover crossed the line by distributing his song via parents' email addresses that presumably came from from the school’s system, but as the Lonely Conservative points out, that's a big load of [stuff]. We all know that creepy, school-approved pro-Obama propaganda is pumped directly to students in government schools on a regular basis.

Even if the coach violated some written school policy that has been uniformly enforced across the entire political spectrum, one can surmise that some form of disciplinary action short of termination could have been taken into consideration.

Here's the music video. It's really quite good:

Here are the lyrics. Can you help me find the racist parts?

He was a little man, just turned three

Took the present from his daddy’s hand

A genuine toy hammer

He started beatin’ to beat the band

He hit the floors and the wall, broke a lamp in the hall,

Started swinging at the puppy’s tail

When you’re holding a hammer

Everything looks like a nail

He was the president, number 44

He says “Trust me, I’m here to help you

I have got some big big plans

You’re gonna love what I’m gonna do”

There’s no problem too big or small

He thinks he’s got an answer that just can’t fail

When you’re holding a hammer

Everything looks like a nail

He thinks big thoughts and he dreams big dreams

But it’s another man’s sweat that pays for those schemes

He don’t care how the little people feel

‘Cause savin’ the world is a big freakin’ deal

So he does his business behind closed doors

And pretends that the world is just beggin’ for more

When the stuff hits the fan he says “Don’t look at me

If you got trouble, blame 43”

Now Congress is saving Wall Street

While they’re watching Main Street fall

They got health care all figured out

But it don’t seem to care much at all

As soon as they save this planet

They’ll put the fire out in hell

When you’re holding a hammer

Everything looks like a nail

They think big thoughts and they dream big dreams

But it’s another man’s sweat that pays for those schemes

They don’t care how the little people feel

‘Cause savin’ the world is a big freakin’ deal

They do their business behind closed doors

And pretend that the world is just beggin’ for more

When the stuff hits the fan they say “Don’t look at me

If you got trouble, blame 43”

There’ll be a party come this November

Where we’re gonna set things straight

All good people gonna gather ‘round

Gonna show what made this country great

We’ll run off the schemers and back-room dealers

So the Red, White and Blue will prevail

When we’re holding the hammer

When we’re holding the hammer

When we’re holding the hammer

Every one of them looks like a nail

Update:

Looking at the school's mission statement, I detect some left-leaning PC ideology:

• Each student will find his/her voice and become a leader in their generation
• Every student will have a place within our community to feel accepted
• Every student will have an activity whereby they feel competent
• Every student will be viewed as normal within the eyes of their peers

Hmmm...
