Since his arrest for the murder of Dr. Tiller Mr. Roeder has been revealed to have been associated with the Freemen's militia. This could mean that he endorses so-called "Christian Identity" beliefs which designate white northern Europeans as superior to peoples of color who are seen as inherently inferior. This particular Christian identity movement seems to be associated with the idea that Jews are the children of Satan. If Roeder believes that then it is safe to say he is antisemitic!
White the Freemen militias seem to have waxed and waned over the years it may be true that these old groups are still kicking or becoming revitalized. If Mr. Roeder is an ideologically and religiously motivated fellow then he could very well retain some of these Christian Identity beliefs and/or be actively promoting them.
It appears that Mr. Roeder was rather deeply involved with Freemen Militia ideology back in 1996 when he was arrested with bomb components in his automobile. Why was Roeder pulled over? Only because he was unwilling to buy a license plate and thereby demonstrate his subservience to what he regarded as an illegitimate government back then, the state of Kansas. He had some silly hand made sign saying he was a freeman or something to that effect and was pulled over. So that is pretty fanatically ideological in my estimation, getting busted with bomb equipment because you cannot use a license plate because of your Freemen beliefs!
I never heard what his bomb was for!
