Backstory: Todd Starnes reported:
A Tennessee middle school football coach said he got fired after he wrote a song that criticized President Obama.
Bryan Glover, an assistant coach at Grassland Middle School near Nashville, co-wrote the country music song, “When You’re Holding a Hammer, Everything Looks Like a Nail.”
It was co-written by a parent who has a child on the team. 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.”
Personally, I didn’t find any racial overtones in this song. I just heard a pretty good song. You can purchase the song for your MP3 player here: http://holdingahammer.com

I think that this is one of the worse things that I have seen in a long time. To fire a person for his speaking out by writing a song. What has happened to the First Amendment? I think that this young man has
every right to bring suit against this school system. I SAY MORE POWER
TO HIM.
Henry Bevis i agree with everthing you say, that is one of the best songs i have heard in along time, do you know if he’s doing the singing in the song. i hope he files a law suit an wins, an he own the school after the law suit so he can fire the one that fired him.
Seems to me Mr. Glover nailed it!! It was wrong of the school to terminate his job! This country has become so politically correct and we wonder why we have fire arms in our school and more and more crime on th streets. Its because we have taken God completely out of our country and allowed politicians in that dont even believe in God and the foundtion of what this country was built on.
I say more power to Mr. Glover as well.
I need to reach Bryan Glover about realy putting “legs” on his song.
I suit up as George Washington was in Glenn Beck’s nmessage twice and at the close of Sarah Palin’s speech on 8/28/2010.
I have an idea to share with Bryan that will really put that son in the head of every American voter.
How can I contact him or just put him in touch with me. IT’S NOT ABOUT USING ANYONE OR MY MAKING MONEY IT, BUT IT’S A GREAT IDEA.
