Although I do agree with you to a certain extent, I think you are also a bit confused.

>AMERICA IS NOT A DEMOCRACY, IT IS A REPUBLIC

America is a representative democracy. Republicanism and democracy are not mutually exclusive, nor is it as simple as DEMOCRACY = MOB RULE. I mean, c'mon, we're talking about civility and order when we refer to government.

>Our founding fathers thought and said that democracy was BAD. They detested democracy because it always led mob rule chaos.

The founding fathers liked the idea of democracy because they wanted an alternative to the oppression and tyranny of the British monarchy. They did acknowledge the fact that the majority probably wasn't as well informed or educated enough to directly control the government, but democracy was only a theory at this point in history. There were no current models of democracy for them to observe, so I don't know what you mean by "always"..

>Basically republicanism protects the minority by giving every individual certain inalienable rights that protects you from the mob mentality.

I think what you meant to say was, republicanism disallows the majority from voting away the inalienable rights people have. The rights you're talking about mostly protect you from the government itself, not mobsters.
