Except he never said that. 531 hits on Google for it, and nothing earlier than 2001. The person that put it in a list of quotes said it was by Lincoln, but a guy on a martial arts discussion board in 2004 said he made it up himself. In 2011, it appeared on two conservative blogs. In 2013, a Republican county chairman in Florida used it at an appearance with Ann Coulter. Then, this guy Draghi said it late last year and conservative publications have been passing it around.

But no links, no sources, nothing. If Lincoln really said it, we'd find a speech, a writing, something online -- even a requote sometime in the 19th or 20th centuries. But nothing.

If you have evidence otherwise, please post.
