I would like to think that this is 100% sarcasm, but given what has gone on lately, I can't. Tell me that this is not really a quote from President Bush.
The secret of any good humor is that there is a reasonable element of truth in it. I could tell you that was a real quote--just like I could tell you Republicans support the Constitution and Small Government--but all three are just jokes.

P.S. Truth-In-Posting considerations require me to admit the obvious...on CFR, Republicans are...awful...but certainly better than the Democrats. At least on FR there's some frustration at the federal government shamelessly violating the First Amendment. I can't imagine any such sentiments on the discussion boards at The Nation, or any other liberal cesspool.
