I started this blog with the objective of offering an outlet to conservatives and Republicans with an opposing or unconventional point of view. My mission – if I have just one – is to ask the questions of “why” when others are asking only the “what’s” and the “who’s.” On more than one occasion, this has made me a bit of a pain in establishment Republicans and token conservatives backs… and I have loved every minute of that. That’s why we’re here and that’s what we do..
Republican Redefined has now crossed the 600 post threshold (in five months) with this post, and I couldn’t be happier to use number 601 to tell all of you about an upcoming event – series of events – that will provide you with an opportunity to see Right-wingers debating Right-wingers on issues close to all our hearts.
As Republican Redefined has grown, our readership has grown; and so too has our relationships with other blogs/sites. Part of that last aspect of coming to maturity has been directly related to a few sites – all of which will be contributing to this upcoming series. I will post the sites involved below, but I guess I should tell you what the hell I am talking about before I ramble on any further.
Tomorrow, Russ at That’s Right will begin a multi-part debate with the Classic Liberal on the issue of our nation’s “War on Global Terrorism” – or lack thereof – depending on how you see things. The debate will be moderated by Scratcher at Makes My Brain Itch and Steve at Motor City Times. I – as well as a growing list of others – will be offering commentary and a little blog punditry – here and at their respective sites.
I am excited about the prospects of the “forum” – if you will – and think many of you will enjoy it as well. The first round of question and answer will begin tomorrow at noon. I will keep you updated on how the debate is playing out and will direct you to various sites where you can contribute as well. If this first “issue /topic” is a success, we hope to bring you many more in the days and weeks to come. You may even see your old pal T Christopher on the card for the next round if I get my way – I’m lobbying for a Palin-related topic – you all know I’m alone on an island with that one – for now that is. All things in time do pass my conservative friends…. ALL THINGS….
In case you’re wondering…. CL and Russ have decidedly different points of view on this issue. It should be a great first round. Neither of them will pull any punches…
Contributing sites… I’ll update as more chime in…
