I'd say this is 50-50 at best.

I guess that one is open for debate. I know a good number of people who consider themselves to conservative and very few of them support medical pot. This is also an issue that was brought to the forefront by the left, not the right.

Gay marriage most certainly is on the right side of the equation. That's not even considering the fact that 90% of the states don't allow it.

But the left brought it up. It is very much a liberal agenda. If there were no liberals, we would not be talking about this issue. Just because the right strongly opposes it, doesn't mean it is an exclusively conservative issue.

Correction, the Republicans have no interest in health care reform when our debt is unsustainable and is carried deeper by the Obama Administration. I'm all for fixing healthcare to a certain extent, after we are running some surpluses.

While I can't argue that the republicans are arguing right now that they are against this because of the deficit, they were also against it back when Clinton proposed it and we had a balanced budget and they would be against it if we had no national debt and a budget surplus.

You asked for issues that are predominately to the left and I gave you three of them. It might be your opinion that they are not, but these are issues that are the forefront of the nation right now and they were put there by liberals.
Also you said, "This country will never be rid of conservatives because we are the majority." That seems to me like you think that conservatives constitute the majority in this country.
I am curious though you say that most of the social issues in this country are from the right. I would love to see some examples.
