His sermons are critical of the federal government. Republicans want to eliminate the federal government as much as possible in favor of more state power (at least on paper that's what they'll say their platform stands for). So, in a really weird sense, the guy is espousing values that the Republican party should hold near and dear to its heart. Yet all they want to talk about is how he "hates white people", which has no basis in reality. Somebody please tell me when loving the federal government became patriotic.
