It was mob mentality that laid the very foundation for our great country.

Much to the contrary and coincidentally, Ann Coulter's latest book, "Demonic," is dedicated wholly to the study of mobs, especially as applied to politics. Her book was a big surprise to me as it was not just a reprint of past articles of hers but a true study that is very well documented (the footnotes section runs more than 30 pages). As a caution, however, you can expect the usual sharp Coulter wit and observations mixed in.

Specific to your claim, Coulter demonstrates how anti-mob the founders and the public at large were. Part 2 of the book is dedicated entirely to the French and American revolutions and the differences between them at all levels. You will probably reconsider your aforementioned comment after reading this section of the book. I guarantee you will learn a few things.
