Ivins supported affirmative action and denounced President Bush for announcing his opposition to the use of racial quotas at the University of Michigan on Martin Luther King's birthday. On the subject of Pat Buchanan's famously combative Culture War Speech at the 1992 Republican Convention, which attracted controversy over Buchanan's aggressive rhetoric against Bill Clinton, liberals, supporters of abortion and gay rights, and for his comparison of American politics to religious warfare, Ivins famously quipped that the speech had ``probably sounded better in the original German'', noting the similarity between the concept of ``culture war'' and the Kulturkampf of Otto von Bismarck's Germany.
