Yes, you are right. A comparison between Teddy Roosevelt's America when the WASP ethos was in flower with George Bush's relativistic, "One Nation under Therapy" America is striking. Not only the WASP ethos but the very people are going the same way as their European cousins - toward extinction, and with a whimper instead of a bang. Old Teddy and his compatriots would have produced a bang.
