Only to the extent that the views of other past political philosophers matter. I voted no, because that's something less than treating them as demigods.

^This. I suspect many of the Founding Fathers, considering their devotion to republican values, would be rather unhappy with the quasi-idolatrous cult of the Founding Fathers many Americans have.
