"He wrote there is something going on with the American Revolution 'that does not quite meet the eye'."
Well, duh. If he were a student of history rather than a professor of English, he just might have heard of and lent some credence to the First Great Awakening, in which Christians (gasp!) sought to follow Christ (gasp!!) and live according to his teachings (gasp!!!), including applying biblical principles (GASP!!!!) to the proper form and implementation of government. Many who are influential in today's movement to call out government abuses and call attention to Constitutional guarantees are consciously working from a Christian worldview, and all that worldview implies. The only way such an approach is 'a little crazy' is in its divergence from cultural norms imposed by the elites.
