Not exactly.
Liberals keep moving the goals around, being politically correct, they never achieve any and it is always because of a "vast right wing conspiracy" by the "evil, money grubbing fiends".
Changing things all the time is a symptom of depression and it can actually cause people to become depressed and neurotic. This has been proven time and again by child psychologists.
It isn't the lack of the Ten Commandments in a court house or the pledge of allegiance that cause the problem.
The problem is caused by the constant changing creating a neurotic and depressed society.
In fact, some middle eastern nations look at how neurotic and depressed liberals are in the United States and they just want to kill us all and let God sort us out.
Until we create a stable environment without all this constantly changing politically correct hype, well, it won't matter how many pledges we say or commandments we carve into stone.

And those things were not caused by the ten commandments being removed from a court house or the pledge of allegiance being removed from schools. 911=the gvernment which in trn led to Iraq and Afghanistan, Katrina=its called the weather maybe you've heard of it, the diseases=they are EVOLVING and becoming stronger than our antibiotics, low wages and no job growth=also the government. Hmm, it seems to me that the government is to blame for alot of this crap.

See...that's one of the dangers of religion. It places the responsibility for things where it doesn't belong. All of those bad things happening has nothing to do with the 10 Commandments being removed from the court or the schools. We need to look at what IS causing those things, and put the responsibility where it belongs, in order to fight them. Blaming them on magical sources will benefit no one. Think clearly, and then act appropriately to each problem. Don't come up with a knee-jerk, hysterical reaction.

The pledge has not changed since the 1950's, when the "under god" part was added to defeat the evil communists. More recently, despite Michael Newdow's courageous case, the Supremes dodged the issue by saying that he did not have legal authority to bring the lawsuit, because he was not the primary parent of his own daughter!
Therefore, and to the contrary ... all of the bad things are obviously the result of "under god" still being in the pledge.

the minimum wage has gone UP.
no job growths = wrong.
there have always been natural diseases and natural disasters..
there have been wars just about every 2-3 decades in the usa, since like the war of 1812.

what about the things that happened before that.
world war 1 and 2, the civil war, the french and Indian war, the revolutionary war, the great depression, the dust bowl, polio, TB,
we will blame all of that on god, because he was in schools then OK. and the stuff after wards...well just seems trivial doesn't it.

I definitely have not yet seen a college that would not nevertheless say "One u . s . a ., below God" interior the pledge. (nonetheless with the aid of regulation they are able to't stress the scholars to assert that line if the pupil chooses to no longer.)

Let's bring it back, and put a giant Lord Siva on the roof of the pentagon while we're at it. Better safe than sorry.
