I do disagree with you bolded statement above. He may not have intended to attack but he certainly did.
He initially starts with statements he has heard some preachers make which would be fair to discuss. As the letter moves along the accusations become more generalized.
By the second paragraph he is talking about "Ultra right wingers" in general, the term itself being obviously pejorative, and their inconsistencies. He continues in this vein through the rest of what you have posted.
By the final paragraph he is asking "Could it be that the very thing that ultra right wing preachers lack is true bible holiness? "
If this is not an attack on conservatism then please explain what that kind of attack would look like.
Again what part of the Fruit of the Spirit was he manifesting?

Probably the same fruit that ultra cons exhibit when they characterize all those who don't hold their "standards" as greasy-grace, charismatic, spineless preachers who won't stand for anything.
