The media, politicians, and big business keeps trying to sell the idea that this country needs immigration amnesty. Those are some pretty powerful opponents, but conservatives are on the right side of this issue of course. American citizen rights must come first. What we need to do is to reach all the traditional Democrat special interests, like blacks and union members, to let them know how badly amnesty will affect them.

There's a golden opportunity here, I think, for populist, conservative leaders to emerge and be elected, because there's plenty of agreement by Americans on certain issues, like amnesty. Most Americans may not want every illegal alien deported, especially the hard cases like children who have been raised here their entire lives, but most Americans certainly don't want the immigration doors thrown wide.

Abortion is another issue where conservatives can win. Most Americans do not support abortion on demand at any time for any reason. While I think Americans aren't ready to outlaw abortion outright in all cases (Democrats love to use the hard cases, like incest and rape, to push for unlimited abortion), Americans will certainly support reasonable restrictions on abortion. "Safe, legal, and rare" worked for Democrats as it's a populist position, except Democrats never really wanted to make abortion rare.

There are many issues just like the above where conservatives should be able to win easy majorities. The media, of course, will try to make our views seem extreme. That's what they always do. Our challenge will be to show that we actually hold the mainstream position on most issues: jobs, immigration, abortion, gay marriage, overseas wars, etc.
