This is my democracy. Point to a single act of my public career not in keeping with these principles.

In effect, tyranny unaccountable to the public.
The approval of the public is to be avoided like the plague. It is absolutely essential to keep the public from entering if one wishes to avoid confusion. I must add that the public must be kept panting in expectation at the gate by a system of challenges and provocations.
Community after community is rising up, ranchers, developers, environmentalists, and local commissioners, all saying this is not the best use of our public lands.

The homestead policy was established only after long and earnest resistance; experience proves its wisdom.
