Not a joke, as the latter might say.<\/p>\n<p>According to far-left online magazine <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/salon\">Salon<\/a>, they\u2019re all similar. In an article whose headline assured readers it was not a joke, writer Matthew Rozsa said Biden, like the founding fathers, is a \u201cvisionary\u201d whose greatness is missed by his peers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the start of his administration, he has pushed for an ambitious economic program: expanded access to health care, major investments in job creation, financial assistance to parents, accelerated development of green energy and other steps to address climate change,\u201d Rozsa wrote. \u201cTo this point, the political fates have cursed Joe Biden with the same bad luck that afflicted Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton and other founding fathers at their most ambitious but least effective \u2014 but without granting him anything close to their storied accomplishments or historical legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">As a historian, I can find no similarities among Jefferson, Washington and Biden. This is pure fiction on the part of the Salon reporter. Biden has no leadership skills and has been in government service for 47 years with no progress for the people but enriched himself.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jimmy Williams (@JimmyW_CFP) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JimmyW_CFP\/status\/1543746911324225537?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 4, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The headline of the article, \u201cHow Joe Biden is like America\u2019s Founding Fathers \u2013 and no, I\u2019m not kidding,\u201d seems to anticipate some skepticism from readers. Many conservatives consider Biden, whose approval rating is below 40%, to be at least the worst American president since Jimmy Carter, and possibly of all time.<\/p>\n<p>Rozsa got clobbered on Twitter for the comparison.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m getting nauseous!\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jeffkirsh1\/status\/1543775728185081857?s=20&#038;t=TCHkWtrfRlrtHbesZM_2Ng\">wrote Jeff Kirsh<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s July 4th and you\u2019re putting Biden in the same sentence with Washington &#038; Jefferson!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWashington and Jefferson were great leaders,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/gpettisusa\/status\/1543754831235620866?s=20&#038;t=TCHkWtrfRlrtHbesZM_2Ng\">tweeted Gary Pettis<\/a>. \u201cCan you deny that? History will remember Joe Biden to be a weak leader who handled self-created crises ineptly. He\u2019s like Carter, which proves that Progressive Democrats talk a good game to the middle class but they can\u2019t govern.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rozsa charitably admits that without the founding fathers, \u201cthe United States would not exist today,\u201d and acknowledges that Jefferson was a \u201ccomplicated genius.\u201d But just like Biden, he writes, Jefferson had many progressive ideas that got shot down by small-minded contemporaries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJefferson\u2019s inability to realize his economic vision doesn\u2019t detract from his overall legacy, but it certainly offers some perspective on how even revered statesmen can have important ideas that go nowhere,\u201d Rozsa writes.<\/p>\n<p>One Twitter user said Rozsa should spend more time reading and less writing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFar left Salon writer should read the Federalist Papers before making a fool of himself saying Biden comparable to Jefferson &#038; Washington,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JackBones10\/status\/1543763892551053312?s=20&#038;t=TCHkWtrfRlrtHbesZM_2Ng\">wrote Jack Bones<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c-span.org\/presidentsurvey2021\/?page=overall\">2021 survey of historians by C-Span<\/a> rated Washington as the second-greatest U.S. president, behind only Abraham Lincoln.
