Thank you, that's an interesting perspective. Two questions/comments:

Glenn Beck is serving as a tool of the Popular Democratic Party and that of leftist democrats like Obama, Gutierrez, and Nydia Velazquez (D-NY).

To what ends?

The New Progressive Party, the party currently in power in Puerto Rico, is made up of a coalition of Democrats and Republicans

Why should I trust "Republicans" who label themselves as "progressive" and align themselves with Democrats?

"To what ends?" - Stirring up controversies, ratings and such. He might be doing it unwittingly, but he's doing their job, nonetheless.

"Why should I trust "Republicans" who label themselves as "progressive" and align themselves with Democrats?" - There's something lost in translation here. In Spanish, it is the Partido Nuevo Progresista. Not Partido Nuevo . That is, "For Progress", not "Progressive".

When that party was founded un the late sixties, early seventies, the island was stuck under the weight of the new ruling class, and there was no progress. The ruling class consisted of those who today oppose statehood for Puerto Rico. After they established their "commonwealth" and settled into their new found power, they became the government of the new oligarchy, by the oligarchy, and for the oligarchy. The New Progresist Party was founded to fight them.

That's a good question. There are a lot of them.

Progressive Republicans
