The Constitution begins "We the people...", not "We the states..."

Interesting sequence demonstrates theological degeneration:

The great blood-drenched death-machines of the 20th century were all "democracies," unrestrained by any power other than the whims of the majority.

Democracies were they? I would say the "great death machines" of the 20th century were Russia (communist), Germany (socialist), China (communist), and Cambodia (communist). Where are the "death machine" democracies?

You mean like Nazi Germany, Tojo's Japan, Mao's China, Stalin's Soviet Union, Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge...? Please help me out here. Which of those were democracies?
