So it's really not a quote, as there is no evidence it was actually spoken and attributable to any person. Or perhaps you'd rather not reveal the source of the quote. After doing a Google search of the phrase it seems to be making the rounds of many of the looney left websites at this time, is that where you got it?

And you should feel free to post any evidence that any person was ever burned as a "witch" by American Puritans in America, because according to the historical record, it never happened. Where did you learn this?

With regard to the Salem Witch episode 19 people, about half of those found guilty of the capital felony of witchcraft where hanged.

One accused person was crushed by stones as a punishment known as "peine forte et dure" because he refused to enter a plea when he came to trial; it took two days to kill the 80 year old farmer Giles Corey.

Prior to 1692 about 12 people where executed after being found guilty, most if not all by hanging.
