Can I ask a question that contains the words "republican" and "courage"?

Question

How could I word such a question?

Surely these cannot be mutually exclusive words. There must be a few good questions that can contain these two words.

Can you think of any?

I tried, but it was probably offensively simple, so let me invite you to bring some complexity into your reply.

Are there genuine ways to do this? Are these two words just bitterly locked out of topic with each other like water and oil?

Are we not able to handle these two words together in any question here?

This is starting to amuse me.
(But I was not primarily looking to be amused.)

Courage to admit... okay, that's probably elaborate enough to make the words tolerable.

Yup.
(I wasn't interested in anything as specific as mistakes
at the time though)
-geez this is still funny when I think about it.
moving along...

Indeed, merely putting the two words in any same sentence with a question mark is perhaps inherently insulting.

I'll try it. I'll remove the notion of experiencing the courage. I wonder what the response will be.

mmm

That convictions one is actually a good question.
Yes,
I was looking for that too.
Thanks.

teach courage

wow, that's a wildly good one

i believe certain things get mistaken for courage though, still that one might be worth a try as-is later

Well, I hope you don't recieve violations for it.

That this can be the worst question you've seen is not offensive.
Just
doubtful.

Oh, that registered-question, I'm sorry but that doesn't quite cut it for me.

Not nearly the kind of thing I'm asking for. These are pretty much all good answers though.

I'm somewhat satisfied so far.

What does courage mean?

(Simple)
Of course. I bet that would get loads of response. Some of the answers would just HAVE to be interesting enough I guess.

I would rather ask what courage means to a CONSERVATIVE though.

Because even I would feel like I could try an answer to worded like that.

Maybe I want to ask what courage can mean to a liberal sometime.

I DO believe that BEGINNING an unpopular thing is an indicator of courage. Starting something that is unpopular in the BEGINning.

The other way 'round probably indicates courage only if you HAVE self-doubts and you face them. Otherwise I might prefer to describe that with other words.

Have I told you?

Okay, the problem with those three questions is well... I'm actually interested in getting some answers that share a resolving toward something interesting.

Answer 1

also, try using "republican" and "enlisting" in the same sentence. It's like matter and anti-matter.

Answer 2

It took plenty of courage for this republican to tell the questioner, at the risk of receiving a violation, that this "question" is quite possibly the worst I've ever seen on Y/A. Thank you have a nice evening.
**ADD to Gemini: My son-in-law enlisted, he is a republican. If you paid any attention at all you would know that most service members are conservatives. That's why Al Gore wanted to suppress their votes during the election of 2000.

Answer 3

I suppose you could put it in a song. Title it something like this: "What does courage mean to Republicans?"

I would not be offended by that question. I doubt any other Republican would.

Courage is doing the unpopular thing. The hard thing. The road less traveled. Fighting salmon, swimming upstream.

Today, we are engaged in an unpopular war. There are many who wonder why we are not over there fighting. To them, I say, some of us are over here fighting. For life. For dignity. For our country. For our Constitution.

Answer 4

How about: Why do Republicans lack the courage to admit they deliberately lied and misled us to start a war to satisfy our pathetic leader's animosity towards one corrupt dictator?

Answer 5

A Republican of Courage is Vice President Cheney who has 5 college deferments to avoid being called to war, and refers to people with war medals traitors because they don't agree with fighting a war based on deceit and lies. Now that takes Republican courage.
Another Republican of Courage is George W. Bush, who actually served at least 3 months of active duty in the skies over Texas in the Air National Guard back during the Viet Nam war, and calling people who disagree with his war strategy unpatriotic. Now that takes Republican courage.
A war strategy by the way, calling for our young military to fight and die and experience horrible wounds in a war with no purpose except to prove some kind of reasoning that no one seems to know in the Republican right wing party.
Thanks

Answer 6

Here's one:

"Have I told you that my nephew, a republican from South Carolina, recently returned from two tours in the Army in Iraq? He and his unit show a great deal of courage and our family is glad they are home safely."

Here's another:

"Did you know that my father-in-law and brother-in-law, both republicans, served in the Navy with a great deal of courage?"

Here's another:

"My sister-in-law, a republican, showed a great deal of courage in her fight against breast cancer. Did you know it was diagnosed with a routine mamogram?"

Answer 7

Try this.

How do we thank and support our troops for the great sacrifices they make trying to protect America from international terrorism bearing in mind that their courage is amazing and that most of them are registered republicans?

.

Answer 8

how about " can a republican teach a liberal courage?"

Answer 9

Why don't the republicans have the courage to admit their mistakes and illegal actions?

Answer 10

Sure here's one....Why do the Republicans have more courage related to their convictions, than Democrats?
