Ruh roh! It's not as black and white as you've been led to believe is it? Not only talking heads but many republicans are concerned about H1-B visa's being issued in areas where we have sufficient Americans to fill the jobs.
As far as being class conscious and hating capitalists, have you ever noticed some of the more wealthy people around are democrats? Quite a number of them didn't inherit the wealth either they earned it using good old fashioned capitalism. There's nothing evil about wanting to be better off than we are financially. I don't particularly find struggling financially all that noble.
You'll find many on this board are working people just like you are. You say you're surrounded by conservatives, how well do you know these people? Are you under the impression they don't give a darned about the environment? If you are then you're working under a misunderstanding. We more than likely believe in a more balanced approach to conservation than most who wear the tag of green do but it doesn't mean we don't have concerns about the environment.
You'll see all sorts of responses on FR about all sorts of different problems facing America today. Some will be kneejerk, some will be well reasoned, if you can take the time to read about conservative beliefs I think you'll find quite a few areas we will be in agreement about.
