The way your sentence is written, yet it is. If you meant the following then perhaps not: is a "Good idea" a Good idea?

English syntax is not always what it seems.

'And wot,' said Sikes, scowling fiercely on his agreeable friend, 'wot makes you take so much pains about one chalk-faced kid, when you know there are fifty boys snoozing about Common Garden every night, as you might pick and choose from?'

Define "a Good Idea" as X, and "Good Idea" as Y. Then your question is as follows:
is X a Y? Because X =/= Y, it is trivial that 'is X a Y' is false. However, we can redefine your question.

Is a Good Idea an a Good Idea?
Once again, we define "a Good Idea" as X, then we get: is X an X? This time, it is trivial to see that this is true.

If I was a mod I would deal with this thread swiftly and justly.

I think I should be made a forum mod.

Please notice that Good was capitalized, thereby implying a universality. The same with Idea. So the question is, is a universal concept the same as a universal concept? However the question was written in human language, with all the inherent flaws in meaning and communication that engenders. So we have a universal truth expressed in less than truthful language. And we know that no answer can be more accurate than the least accurate measurement.

I hope that this settles any confusion.
